As a result, there is speculation of a new Crash Bandicoot title being announced at the event. However, a realistic take on the announcement may just be surrounding Activision’s upcoming Crash Bandicoot title, Crash Team Rumble. Announced late last year, Crash Team Rumble is a 4-v-4 team-based game for online play. The game has a release date of June 20th. The teaser likely relates to Crash Team Rumble. The game lets players take control of a plethora of characters from the franchise such as Crash, Coco, Dr. Neo Cortex, and more!

Crash Bandicoot remains an iconic franchise for gamers. Originally a PlayStation mascot, developers Activision quickly transformed the game into a multi-platform title.
