Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (in Japan: クラッシュ・バンディクー4 とんでもマルチバース, Crash Bandicoot 4: Unexpected Multiverse) is an upcoming main-series title in the Crash Bandicoot series.

The game was first properly teased on the 18th of June 2020, where several videogame news reporters were sent jigsaw puzzles that revealed a new, mysterious mask character.

The next day, the 19th of June, the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee filed a rating for the game, revealing its title, placeholder box art, and a short plot synopsis. Said box art also revealed the game's developer, Toys For Bob, as well as the game being slated for release on the PS4 and Xbox One. Four new masks can be seen on the artwork.

On June 21st, a live-action teaser featuring the 100% ending of Warped and the title of the game was unveiled through the official Crash Bandicoot social media channels. The announcement trailer came out on June 22nd, 4pm BST.

During Summer Games Fest, an official trailer was shown, showcasing new worlds and three new Quantum Masks, known as the Time Mask Kupuna-Wa, the Gravity Mask Ika-Ika, and a third mask unnamed at the time. Using Kupuna-Wa, the player will be able to slow time to a crawl, and using Ika-Ika, Crash or Coco can reverse gravity to maneuver on ceilings and wall run.
