Hey everyone.
Welcome to another blog post where I have another exciting announcement or rather Playstation have another exciting announcement.
After a long wait, it's been confirmed that Crash Bandicoot 4 is confirmed and will be released on October 2nd 2020, and not only that they have released a trailer showcasing some of the cool and exciting things we can expect in the new game.
All our favourite characters are back including Crash, Coco, Aku Aku, Dr Cortex, Dr N Gin and some new characters in the form of masked spirits. I'm sure more will be revealed later, but I hope to see Tiny in this game as Tiny is my favourite Crash character.
And not just that, you can play as multiple characters throughout the game giving players the opportunity to play with Crash, Coco, and Cortex and possibly more characters depending on the free style opportunities this new game may or may not have to offer.
From the looks of things there seems to be a story behind it in that Crash has trapped Cortex back in time and Cortex decides to take his revenge on Crash and Coco and it's up to Crash and Coco to stop their nemesis once again.
As someone who grew up playing Crash Bandicoot, it is very exciting to see a new expansion of this franchise. The trailer showed lots of cool and interesting things which left a lot to the imagination of the player but it's also enticed us in to want to know more of what's to come later on.
The game isn't due to be out until October but it will certainly provide a nice alternative to playing something other than the Mortal Kombat and Injustice games.
The design of the characters are interesting, the Crash characters have had many a redesign over the years, though I'm not overly keen on the design for Cortex in this new game I'm sure it will grow on me and I will get to like it more. At least its better than the Crash of the Titans design which was awful.
Cortex still seems to be up to his old tricks and devilish panto style ways of evil and there's lots of humour that goes with this, there's one instance in the trailer where Crash and Coco are asked how many times they have defeated Cortex and Coco replies "About three" to which the reply is "seems like more". No matter how hard Cortex tries Crash always beats him. Can Cortex finally beat his nemesis this time?
In regards to the story, there seems to be a lot of time jumping involved which could mean blasts from the past being included in this game. Maybe we will get to see some character bosses from the early games such as Koala Kong, Pinstripe, The Komodo Brothers, characters that were only used once and have appeared again as bonus characters in the Crash Bandicoot racing games.
A Crash 4 is a very welcome edition, I'm still hoping for a remaster of Crash Bash sometime in the near future as Crash Bash is the absolute best Crash game of them all and I'd love to see that remastered for the PS4 and Xbox.
But for now, Crash 4 is coming to PS4 and Xbox this October!
