New Masks and New Playable Characters

Crash 4 introduces more mythological tiki masks other than Aku Aku and Uka. Throughout the game, Crash and Coco will be assisted by a few others that will spice up a few levels. One mask flips gravity, another slows downtime, and the third phases platforms in and out of existence. All of the new mechanics have been seen before, but a first in the Crash series.

In a surprise reveal, gamers won’t only get to play as Crash and Coco. Prior villains Dr. N. Cortex and Dingodile will also be playable and have their own unique playstyle. The fact that Dr. N. Cortex can use his blaster to make platforms is pretty hilarious to see. Catch the video below for more details:

Crash Bandicoot 4 is the latest sequel to the series in over a decade. Returning love for Crash and the PS1 trilogy began with 2017’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. With the latest reveals, Toys for Bob is packing a lot of love and creativity into this one. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is looking fantastic as the next sequel, and evolution, to the beloved trilogy. The game releases October 2 for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
