Following a leak from the Taiwanese rating board, Activision has announced that the official reveal of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is happening tomorrow, June 22, at 8 am PDT/4 pm BST. The announcement tweet was accompanied by a teaser trailer that hearkens back to the downright creepy marketing for the original 1996 game.

We could speculate about what Crash 4 is about, but I believe its subtitle went ahead and spoiled that for us: It's About Time. Of course, it's also about time that Crash make a proper return to form, especially after the enthusiastic response from the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and the Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled remaster.
Crash 4 is developed by Toys for Bob, one of the co-developers of the N. Sane Trilogy, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and many Skylanders games. They definitely know a thing or two about making old platformers feel modern at this point. The new sequel could be a grand departure from the narrow platforming that the series is know for, but my bet is on a more traditional (much prettier) interpretation of the classic series.
Geoff Keighley will be hosting the Crash 4 reveal (alongside Crash himself) under the banner of the Summer Game Fest, so stay tuned for more details from his feed.

And remember to wear a mask when going out—Crash knows what's up.
