A newCrash Bandicootgame announcement appears to be planned for The Game Awards 2022. While an announcement hasn’t been explicitly revealed yet, the evidence at hand is very clear. Perhaps the bigger question is whatCrash Bandicootgame Activision will be announcing, though there are some interesting theories regarding that.Crash Bandicootfans have a lot to look forward to in 2022.
The teaser for the nextCrash Bandicootgame announcement came attached to a separate announcement entirely. Activision delivered a unique goodie package to select influencers known to beCrash Bandicootfans. The package, shaped like a stack of pizza boxes, confirmed on its “receipt” thatCrash Bandicoot 4would be released on Steam on October 18.Crash Bandicoot 4has been available via Activision Blizzard’s Battle.net, but a Steam release will assumedly open it up to a number of PC gamers who have been waiting for their preferred storefront to have it.

It’s on the side of theCrash Bandicoot 4pizza boxes where things get especially interesting. Another message reading, “Hungry for more? Try out our new Wumpa Pizza for $12.08!” can also be found. $12.08 is believed to be a clever way of saying December 8, which just so happens to be the date of2022’s The Game Awardsevent. Again, there’s no explicit mention of a game announcement whatsoever, but it is definitely the clear implication of the message.
WhatCrash Bandicootfans are pondering is exactly what game Activision will be announcing. “Wumpa Pizza” isn’t the name of any known game, but perhaps it’s a clue. Along-rumoredCrash Bandicootprojectis namedWumpa League, a free-to-play party game said to be similar in nature toFall Guys. Wumpa Pizza could be a hint towardWumpa League, though that’s by no means certain.
Further evidence of a newCrash Bandicootgame being in development game from Activision studio Toys for Bob. In August, Toys for Bob posted a photo of all the games the team has ever made, leaving a blank frame for its eighteenth game.Toys for Bobwas the developer ofCrash Bandicoot 4, and gained live service experience supporting the development of Call of Duty: Warzone more recently.
Crash Bandicootfans won’t have to wait too much longer to find out what Activision has planned. The Game Awards 2022 airs on December 8, which is just two months from now. It could announce the long-rumoredWumpa Leaguefree-to-play game,Crash Bandicoot 5, or something else entirely. The resurgence ofCrash Bandicootis alive and well.
