Out Friday: Here's Where to Preorder Crash Bandicoot 4

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is coming to PS4 and Xbox One on October 2. Unlike the other recent Crash releases, this is no remake of previous marsupial exploits. This is a totally new game, a full sequel to Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. It's developed by Toys for Bob, the same company behind Spyro Reignited Trilogy. This time around, Crash and his sister Coco are once again trying to stop Dr. Neo Cortex from his current dastardly plans. The sequel promises to maintain the franchise's high level of challenge, while introducing new play mechanics like swapping masks to use various abilities. You can check out our Crash 4 hands-on preview for more information. And if you're ready to pull the trigger on this colorful platformer, here's where you can lock in your preorder now.

As for the game itself, it lets you choose to play as either Crash or Coco Bandicoot, but you'll also get to hop into the shoes of other characters from time to time. Like previous installments, the game will feature side-scrolling areas, as well as times where you'll be running toward or away from the camera.
