After a weekend packed with rumors, leaks, and speculation, developer Toys For Bob put 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash Bandicoot fans out of their misery on Monday. It did so by confirming that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is real, and it will be released before the end of 2020. The announcement trailer below was how Crash 4 was officially revealed to the world, and while it features a lot, it d꧒oesn't tell us everything we already know about the new installment in the franchise.
It's About Time will be the first original Crash game in more than a decade, not considering the recently remastered N'Sane Trilogy and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash Team Racing. It will controversially follow on from the end of the N'Sane Trilogy, or more specifically Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Warped was originally released in 1998 which means any Crash games released since then that aren't remasters will be ignored by Crash 4. C🎶oco and one of the new Quantum Masks joke about that at the end of the above trailer.
Crash fans who played through Warped will recall Dr. Neo Cortex and his cronies being banished to a distant planet by Crash, so how have they returned? Well, Cortex, Dr. N. Tropy, Uka-Uka, and presumab꧋ly Dr. N. Gin hav🎶e found a way to escape their distant prison. Whatever method they used to do that has ripped a hole in time and space. It's up to Crash and Coco to patch that hole and save the multiverse.
Curiously, Crash and Coco won't be the only playable characters in It's About Time. As is demonstrated via the trailer, players will also be able to use Cortex. The supervillain will only be used on certain levels and will have different powers to his Bandicoot foes. Cortex won't be able to double jump but ღcan perform some sort of horizontal dash. He will also have a ray gun that turns enemies into platforms. Crash and Coco will have the same moves as they do in the first three games, as well as the ability to grind rails, swing from ropes, and wall-run.
Even though the evil Uka-Uka is set to return, there has been no mention of Aku-Aku. Crash and Coco will instead be protected by four brand new Quantum Masks, two of which have been named so far. Ika-Ika, the gravity mask, and Kupuna-Wa, the time mask. Ika-Ika will allow its wearer to control gravity, which is💯 on show in the trailer. Kupuna-Wa will allow its wearer to slow down time. Masks will become available to players when needed, rather than having to make sure they keep hold until an opportunity arises.
Rather then the Warp Rooms players will be familiar with from Crash's 2 and 3, It's About Time will return to a dimensional map to maneuver around between levels. Crash 4 will be released on October 2, 2020, for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. No word yet if the game will eventually arrive on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch, or if it will be made available on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X 🐟considering how close its release will be to the launch of the next-gen consoles.
