Any rumor that includes a leak, this is a gray area that can be considered legitimate at times and illegitimate as well. As usual, take any rumor or leak with a grain of salt!

Is Crash Bandicoot COMING?! Here’s what to expect in terms of Crash Bandicoot announcements this month! There has been a lot of chatter and leaks regarding the next Crash Bandicoot adventure. But what is the most realistic game or thing to expect from Crash Bandicoot this month? Are we really going to get a new game? Is something else Crash Bandicoot related coming? Let’s discuss!
Note: The State of Play was broadcasted, and we haven’t seen Crash come up there (although the Winter GP came up at 11am EST today).
There’s no doubt about it. A new Crash Bandicoot game will be announced VERY soon as it makes its way to Playstation, Xbox, and Switch! There’s been so much anticipation and hype in the Crash community, but what could it all be for? What does this new Crash Bandicoot title need to live up to the hype?
Note: This video was made before the State of Play was broadcasted. Also, this contains opinions from the author of the video on what the new game should have.
Oh boy, it’s that time of the year again. Activision sending out random influencers things out of nowhere, and even at one point led to last year’s Furry Dice teasing of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled’s announcement in The Game Awards.
Earlier today, some popular online content creators (influencers) have posted images on both Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #Crash_Partner and #CrashOnTheShelf, while on the same day, Sony announced State of Play for Tuesday, December 10, which broadcasts at 9am EST (6am PST) and I suspect that even if we don’t get the new game’s reveal there, we could still get some sort of Grand Prix reveal or something.
Said influencers were sent a limited selection of random Crash merchandise figure by Activision (Funko Pop Crash, Incense Burner Kart, F4F Crash PVC), alongside a mini Santa hat to celebrate Christmas. Now, why would you want to know about this? Well, the reason that we’re talking about this is that the #Crash_Partner hashtag is usually used when Activision sponsors an individual or outlet to promote certain games, even teasing them as well in some cases. Here’s a list of all the posts so far as of this writing:
This is also intentionally well-timed in proximity with Sony’s recent announcement of State of Play on December 10, and the upcoming Game Awards 2019 on December 12.
Now, all of this could be nothing at the end, but there’s good reason to believe in it, after the hints, speculation, leaks and rumours that we’ve been seeing surrounding the new game, not to mention the monthly Grand Prix seasonal events for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled ending on a Saturday, revealed on a Wednesday and released on a Friday.
Pretty consistent cycle, right?
There’re good reasons to believe that this is just the beginning of the teasing for the new Grand Prix and/or new game, but there’s also another reason to not believe in it, because it might end up being nothing in the end. We’ll see next week, fingers crossed.
This post was whipped out quickly, so changes could still occur. If you see any error, anything missing or lacking, just let me know ASAP.

We don’t officially know a lot about the next Grand Prix season in Crash team Racing Nitro-Fueled except its called the Winter Festival and will feature a new track ‘Gingerbread Joyride’ and a new character to the crash franchise. However we actually know a lot more thanks to previous Grand Prix and thanks to a recent data mine.
In this video I’ll be going over everything we know about the Winter Festival Grand Prix, what we know about what comes next and whether or not we might get a new Crash game revealed next week at the State of Play of Game Awards 2019.
EDIT: Forgot to add that Komo on ResetERA said that a generic placeholder for the new game was added recently, although they remarked that they will “add anything” to the database, even if its just rumours, as well as “a dozen other games that have never been announced”.
It’s coming, approaching, I can feel it, do you? I certainly do, and some of us have seen it coming and some even say that it is pretty obvious. But, it doesn’t take away from the excitement that is potentially the increasing possibility of finally getting the 8th mainline console game in what has been more than 10 years since the release of the last title, Crash Mind Over Mutant.
A lot has changed ever since, and with the resounding success of this revival, it was only a matter of time before we come in full circle to this point of time. Please note that the last section contains spoilers from a potentially reliable source for this last rumour for details about the new game, so avoid if you want to black out of spoiling the fun. Anyways, let’s get straight to the chase, because things have gotten interesting since last night:
That’s all for now. If there’s any info that’s missing or incorrect, please let me know ASAP.
