And when they come in to help a hand, they get equipped to Crash or Coco as a crazy suit of armor that shows the player that they now have control over their power." Crash is still running away from harm's way. "When you meet them, they'll join in with Crash and Coco's team, and from that point on in the story, there'll be certain areas and levels where they'll come in to help a hand. "As you're going through this adventure, you're going to be meeting up with these four quantum masks in an effort to help heal time and space," says Studdert. (Familiar supervillain Neo Cortex, as seen in the debut trailer, is also playable, but mum's the word for now on how the alternate perspective will play out in-game.) The biggest new addition is the "Quantum Masks," which add a "reality time and space element" for Crash and Coco. Wall-running, rope swinging, and rail grinding are new platforming additions that are built into levels from the start for the primary playable characters, Crash and Coco. Crash 4 isn't merely a traditional platformer in-line with the faithful remakes though it's introducing a number of new twists on the formula. The Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, on the other hand, was never nailed down to just PlayStation like the original series, and Crash 4 will follow suit as it launches across multiple platforms this fall. Wrath of Cortex, released in 2001 and developed by Traveller's Tales, was the first entry in the series to cast aside its PlayStation exclusivity. For us, what we wanted to do was go back to what we found really lovable and are just huge fans of with the original trilogy." "After the original trilogy, the franchise diverted a bit to more open-world exploration type things. "For us, we want to come out of the gate and call it Crash 4 because we're not just continuing the storyline from where it left off, but also using the original trilogies' gameplay kind of as our inspiration and as our base," says Studdert. There's Coco, but is Pura lurking around? | Toys For Bob/Activision Now I know what you're thinking: Isn't there already a fourth Crash with Wrath of Cortex? I pose the conundrum to Toys For Bob Design Producer Lou Studdert: What makes this Crash 4? Turns out, it's more than just being set immediately after the cliffhanger of Crash Bandicoot: Warped. It looks zany and colorful, teasing levels in its trailer like a futuristic city, a volcanic environment with a T-Rex lumbering toward the screen, and more. Thus, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, the first new Crash game since the mobile 2010 game Nitro Kart 2, is officially coming this year from developer Toys For Bob. It was perhaps inevitable that one day Activision would see the influx of cash the Crash series could still deliver in the modern day, even as its original developer has moved onto more dour sorts of adventures. People missed the orange marsupial with attitude a lot. When it comes to video game remakes, they're all pretty much destined to be hits, because why remake a game that would be a dud upon re-release? Crash Bandicoot's modern day refresh, the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy helmed by Vicarious Visions with support development from Toys For Bob, has sold over 10 million copies to date, according to its February 2019 financial results report.
