What you need to know
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeis almost upon us, but fans who have or are going to preorder can experience the return of a favorite platforming franchise a few weeks early with a playable demo that’s now available, according toXbox Wire. The game, which is coming to Xbox (includingXbox Series XandXbox Series S) and Playstation on October 2 gives all players who preordered unfettered access to the demo, and there’s a new trailer to boot.
The demo includes three different levels from the middle of the game that showcase various mechanics and gameplay features of the new Crash Bandicoot trial, two of which are from the focus of Crash himself. The third level is apparently about a “nefarious enemy,” rather than the second playable character Coco. The three playable levels include:
Players who preorder will also nab some exclusive “Totally Tubular Skins” for Crash and Coco, which is another neat perk for reserving this game a few weeks earlier than launch. Are you planning on grabbing this game, and will you preorder it for the demo access? Let us know in the comments below!
Not quite the same.
Crash Bandicoot is back and better than ever, but they’re not quite the same as they were all those years ago. This Crash Bandicoot has new abilities, new challenges to overcome, and new reasons to draw players back to this platforming franchise. Play on Xbox and Playstation later this year.
