At the start of this month, Crash Bandicoot's resurgence was thought to be over, and then an Activision spokesperson denied a report about "layoffs" at Toys for Bob - stating how the studio would continue to support Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.
Now, just a week later, the voice actors of Crash and Dr. Neo Cortex in Crash Bandicoot's fourth entry are apparently teasing fans on Instagram about a "fun new project" they're currently working on together that may - or may not - be a new Crash game.
Well lookie lookie! It's #neocortex and #CrashBandicoot working together on a fun new project... no, this one is not another Crash game (or is it?? Haha! ) ... I always enjoy sharing mics with @lexlang... I know we're supposed to be professionals, but at what point do I ask him for an autograph???? #voiceover #legend #previoushashtagwasregardinglexnotme @crashbandicoot
Once again, there is a comment in there about a "Crash game" and there are definitely a few other references to it being at least something related to Crash Bandicoot - perhaps it'll take on another form of entertainment. We'll just have to wait and find out...
What do you think these Crash voice actors might be teasing? Have you played Crash 4 yet? Share your thoughts down below.

Probably either A. Wumpa League, or B. the cartoon was uncancelled.
Whatever it is, let's hope it's as good as Crash 4. What a fun game!
Crash in Warzone confirmed.
I've seen people say it's a Smash reveal trailer, but that wouldn't explain Cortex.
@NTDO89 no reason Cortex couldn’t be part of a trailer. Doesn’t have to be in-game footage.
My money’s on a Crash Bash remake.
Spyro 4, or its Wompa league.
If its spyro 4, then damn I need to go and play the first three LOL, I have been waiting for 4 to go and play the first one's first.
If its Wompa league, then idk what to say as we don't know much about it.
Crash n'smash
Maybe Call of Duty isn't going to take itself too seriously this year and have Crash Bandicoot levels?
I really do hope that its Crash for Smash. Cortex could be in the trailer, but then appear after as a Mii Gunner costume.
Doubt it is a new crash game given the recent one didn't do well (I think is a solid game tbh even though I'm not a big fan of platformers).
Crash and Cortex "working together" could mean Crash Twin Sanity. The game where both of them team up.
I think it'll be Crash in Smash with Cortex being present somewhere (e.g. the trailer, the stage, Final Smash). In terms of games, Activision sadly seems to have made it clear Crash 4 is the end by putting all focus back on CoD.
Mmmm.. why did i see the smash logo behind one of them, in the corner??

just kidding.
I feel like they're not allowed to do teasing like this, doesn't it go against their contact or something? Or is that only with outright confirmation?
@Yosher Their employer could have approved the tweet even if they have a contract.
@link3710 Guess that's a possibility I didn't think of but we don't know if that's the case.
Either way I guess it's not really something we should be concerned with anyway.
We just had a Crash game tho...
Its either a remake of Twinsanity or a new Netflix animated series.

I hope that cancelled cartoon is back on track.
A new CTR would be cool.
Crash skin in Call of Duty Warzone.
If only it could be crash bash
Give us Crash Bash. Do it.
@Grumblevolcano Once again, some people be jumping to conclusions based off not enough evidence to suggest that Crash 4 isn't getting any new content.
And just so you know Beenox, the devs that worked on a bunch of games including Nitro Fueled and helped with the development of Crash 4, also work on COD games yet they're still making other stuff and haven't been dissolved as a studio.
So unless we fully know what's going, I suggest you wait a bit for any more details on what's actually happening behind the scenes.
I'm gonna assume that it's either the cancelled cartoon or a Crash in Smash reveal. Not sure that it's Wumpa league tho :/
@Andigaming the heck are u talking about?! It was great! I think that may just be you talking :/
Smash trailer
Even better, it's gonna be some optional voice lines for your character in Warzone.
SMASH.
That is all.
Crash Bandicoot coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate ?it can't be a new Crash Bandicoot game, all development studios is now working in Call of Duty games.
Hope it's Crash for Smash. Can't handle another disappointment like Crash 4.
But Nintendolife said that Crash and Spyro were done and that Activision is the devil...
@russell-marlow I think it's perfectly alright for harmless speculation. Provided no one feels entitled to their speculation to become fact and throw a fit when it doesn't. Otherwise, no harm in it
This looks like it could be a Crash Bash remake based on the picture. Most likely for the PS5 or maybe PS4. We'll see in due time.
@RappinRootbeer Why were you disappointed with Crash 4?
@Not_Soos I'm typically a completionist with like 104% on Crash 2, 3 and CTR. Even the idea of doing that here was unpleasant (and I didn't). Levels were too big so if you screw something up that's 20 minutes of your life gone. Secondly, it was very easy to screw things up because it was often very difficult to see exactly how the characters were oriented in parts. The shadows helped when you're closer to the camera, but not at all when you're far away. On top of that they padded it with even more filler by having all the level modifications which felt like a cheap way to "expand" replay value. Crash 4 took a lot more influence from Crash 1 than it should have when 2 and 3 were far superior and they could have built on those instead.
@RappinRootbeer I still love the game, but I can't disagree with most of your criticisms. I'm only 75% complete after a whopping 50 hours of play time. I'm currently stuck on Crash Landed which is a complete nightmare, and I'll probably never get the platinum relics. I disliked the mandatory time trials in Crash 3, but the timing of the spin-dash ability is ridiculous, making them even worse in this one. I also like to 100% complete games (or whatever the arbitrary number is in the case of Crash), but I'm accepting that might not be feasible with this one.
It isn't enough to ruin the game for me or anything, though. I enjoyed most of the new mechanics. I went back to Crash 2 (my favorite one) for comparison's sake, and not having a double-jump anymore was a bit jarring, as well as the more narrow level structure. I really think Crash 4 pushes the franchise forward in a lot of meaningful ways, with great new mechanics and level design, but it's not without its flaws.
When padding is optional, I'll never dock too many points from a game's score, though. There's still a sizeable amount of lean, even if you eat around the fat, so I can accept it for what it is. I agree with you the levels should have been shorter but more of them. This game still has some of the most fun levels in the series for me though, and I'm glad the quantum masks are situational; the power-ups in Crash 3 broke the game in my opinion, so I was never a big fan of them. I still think I prefer Crash 2 overall, but this might be my second-favorite Crash game at the end of the day.
I highly doubt it, since Crash 4 clearly crashed. Why do you think Toys 4 Bob was punished and sent to the labour camp of Activision?
@Not_Soos Sounds like our tastes are similar. Crash 2 was my childhood. These days I can 100% it in a weekend but when I was 9 there was some decent challenge to it. I can't imagine enjoying Crash 4 at all as a 9 year old. It's just too frenetic and the levels need to be broken up.
@Justaguest a Twinsanity remake that fixes a lot of the originals problems would actually be pretty cool. Hoping this happens now lol
@Dingelhopper Yeah.. there was a lot of glitches and bugs. They may have to bundle it as well cause its a really short game.
