New Crash Bandicoot Announcement Teased For Game Awards via Wumpa Pizza

ign.com:

A new Crash Bandicoot game could be announced at The Game Awards if a recent promotional teaser turns out to be accurate.

Influencers have been receiving gifts promoting the upcoming Steam release of Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time. This gift is what looks like a pizza box with labels highlighting Crash 4's October 18 PC release date. But a small detail tucked away on the box seems to be teasing an additional announcement.

Also on the box is a little message teasing a new "Wumpa Pizza" available for $12.08. This price happens to be the same date as this year's Game Awards which will take place on December 8th. This has led to speculation that this is for a new Crash announcement.

Fans have been speculating a new Crash Bandicoot game, referred to online as Wumpa League, is in the works. Developer Toys for Bob has been teasing a new game since early this year as well, lending credit to the online speculation.

Toys for Bob revived Crash Bandicoot with It's About Time, a well-received, sequel/reboot of the original Crash trilogy created by Naughty Dog.

While Toys For Bob have been helping with Call of Duty (along with seemingly every other Activision studio), the team is also working on something for itself which many believe is a new Crash game.

Either way, we'll have to wait until The Game Awards to find out what this new Wumpa Pizza actually is.
