Activision might be getting ready to announce a new Crash Bandicoot game. The publisher has been sending Wumpa piñatas to media and influencers, which might suggest a new entry in the series is about to be announced.

The packages sent out are in preparations of the 25th anniversary of Crash Bandicoot as the original game released in September 1996 in North America and November 1996 in Europe.

It is possible Activision will announce the game during Sony's PlayStation Showcase 2021. It is set to take place later today at 1:00 pm PT / 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 pm BST. You can watch live on YouTube and Twitch.

The showcase will be around 40 minutes long and features "updates from PlayStation Studios and some of the industry’s most imaginative developers, for games releasing this holiday and beyond. And stick around after the presentation to get more updates from some of the studio teams featured in the Showcase."

I am excited for the possibility of more new Crash games. However the timing of this potential announcement is confusing to me. Crash 4 just released last year and I assume it is still selling. It will have its first holiday season on PS5 and Xbox Series as well. Maybe announcing a new game will reinvigorate sales...
