WARNING: This article contains content that is speculated from a random person who claims to be a “leaker” or “insider”, it could be anything, so take it with a grain of salt as it might be incorrect or something else. Also, anything could change, or be revealed to be otherwise than thought to be. This is even if said individual or source is “reliable” or has been known to be “reliable” and “correct” several times. (TheGamingRevolution is said to have accurately leaked a lot of information about Call of Duty, need more people to verify)
I REPEAT, take it with a HUGE GRAIN OF SALT. You should read what JumpButton had to say about the matter below:
I ain’t got much solid info on new Crash beyond what is publicly leaked by much more well-connected people but I am pretty sure that someone heard “the new game has masks and a Cortex focus, kinda like if certain aspects of WoC were reimagined” and turned it into “WOC REMAKE!!”.
And while I’m addressing that eh-tier rumor, before you go nuts on what a “PvP Crash Game” could be, remember that PvP just means literally “player vs player”.
CTR’s multiplayer is PvP. If a “PvP Crash” exists then it could be literally anything. ~Tweet #1
To be clear: they could absolutely be making a WoC remake and frankly I wouldn’t be shocked if they were (because it would be annoying and imo a waste of time and resources when the demand is clearly there for NEW THINGS and I’m used to being disappointed) and they’ll probably do Bash too because fuck *exactly* me. ~Tweet #2
It just seems weird that we hear reliable rumors about a new game, that seems to use mechanics and story beats that could easily be conveyed as similar to WoC, and then hear about a WoC “remaster”.
Remember that Activision mentioned “reimaginings” in their earnings call?
What if a project began life as “Remaster WoC” and turned into “Ratchet and Clank 2016ing the good ideas from WoC”? You’d likely still have people walking around Activision calling it the WoC remaster even though it’s likely to have new mechanics, levels, story, etc. ~Tweet #3
