Crash Bandicoot 4 : It’s About Time, developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision, is a critically acclaimed 3D platformer that continues the beloved Crash Bandicoot series after a long hiatus. Picking up after the events of Crash Bandicoot : Warped, the game expands the franchise’s story with a multiverse-spanning adventure that blends nostalgia with fresh mechanics and modern design.
 

Players take control of Crash Bandicoot, Coco Bandicoot and other familiar faces as they traverse imaginative and challenging levels across vibrant worlds. The core of the experience is fast-paced, precision platforming—jumping, spinning, sliding and dodging through obstacles, enemies and traps with tight controls and rhythmic pacing.
 

A major innovation in Crash Bandicoot 4 is the introduction of Quantum Masks, powerful artifacts that grant unique abilities tied to time and space. Masks like Lani-Loli, Akano, Kupuna-Wa and Ika-Ika allow players to manipulate gravity, phase between dimensions, slow time and more. Each mask adds depth and variety to level design, encouraging creative approaches while maintaining classic Crash difficulty.
 

The game features a diverse cast of villains including Neo Cortex, N. Tropy and new foes intent on controlling the multiverse. Levels range from colorful jungles and icy peaks to surreal quantum landscapes that require quick reflexes and strategic mask use.
 

Collectibles such as Wumpa Fruit, Gems, Relics and Flashback Tapes add replayability, rewarding mastery and exploration. Optional N. Sanity levels provide some of the series’ toughest challenges.
 

With its polished visuals, energetic soundtrack and carefully crafted platforming sequences, Crash Bandicoot 4 : It’s About Time stands as both a loving tribute to the franchise’s roots and a bold evolution for new and returning players alike.
