No, not the PS2 game. An all new Crash 4 seems to be on the way, quietly unannounced.
It seems Activision are banking on the success of the remakes and have gotten Toys for Bob (who made the Spyro remakes) to develop an all-new Crash platformer for the first time in… well, years. Judging from the title, it seems they’re going for something of a half-reboot by keeping the original trilogy as canon, but dismissing everything else that came afterwards. I’m honestly not that fussed: I loved the original trilogy as a kid (even if I wasn’t very good at it, back then), Wrath of Cortex was the only other game I played and people seem to have mixed feelings towards how the franchise progressed and eventually Crash faded from the public eye. The remakes brought a new fresh life to the series that was needed and it only makes sense to capitalize on that.
Toys for Bob did a great job with Spyro so I’m sure then can do Crash justice (never thought I’d live in an era where I’d be glad to see Naughty Dog no longer owning Crash…). I just feel way more reluctant forking my cash over to Activision.
