We've heard rumors about new Crash Bandicoot games for a while now, and a new promotional campaign from Activision would seem to confirm it. A pizza box sent to influencers like YouTuber Canadian Guy Eh apparently indicates an October release date for 2020's Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time on Steam, and also hints about further reveals to come.

The pizza box in question is labelled with the store "Aku Aku's Steam-In Pizza Shack," which is a rather obvious pun, if we do say so ourselves. The PC version of Crash 4 is currently a Battle.net exclusive, along with several other Activision Blizzard games like the Call of Duty series.

However, it's the message on the side that has Crash fans all abuzz. It reads "Hungry for more? Try our new Wumpa pizza for $12.08!" This coincides with the date of the Game Awards, December 8. This sets the stage for some sort of reveal--according to current plans, anyway.

Crash 4 developer Toys for Bob teased a new project in the above tweet back in August, which caused some to speculate whether or not it's a new Crash project. We've heard rumors about a multiplayer spinoff called "Wumpa League" for years now through insiders like Liam Robertson and others, so it's possible that this might be that long-awaited announcement. Either way, fans of boulder chases and tiger rides have reason to be cautiously optimistic.
