Strewth!
During yesterday’s State of Play presentation, PlayStation fans got to hear a few new tidbits regarding Toys 4 Bob’s upcoming platforming adventureCrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.While the info was fairly scant, we did find out that classic villain Dingodile will be joining Crash and Coco on the sequel’s roster of playable characters.
Dingodile first made an appearance in theCrash Bandicootseries back in 1998’sCrash Bandicoot: Warped. As his name would suggest, Dingodile is part dingo, part crocodile, not unlike the characters in Disney’s forgotten series,The Wuzzles. Very unlikeThe Wuzzles,however, is Dingodile’s penchant for torching everything and everyone with his trusty flamethrower.
“AfterCrash Bandicoot: Warped, Dingodile hung up his old flamethrower-rocket launcher combo and retired from a life of villainy,” said Toys 4 Bob in a press release. “But now he’s back with unfinished business, falling through space and time into another dimension where his adventure to return home begins.”
Alongside Dingodile’s appearance,Crash Bandicoot 4has also unveiled its new “N.Verted” mode, which will allow players to “mirror mode” any stage in the new title. But it won’t just be a simple screen-flip, as each N.Verted world will feature new redesigned visuals, music, and sound. That’s a neat touch.Crash Bandicoot 4will be packed full of alternate characters skins, though Activision has reiterated recently that the sequelwill be microtransaction free.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timelaunches on PS4 and Xbox One October 2.
