Crash Bandicoot Still Owned by Activision, Return Still Pending

Crash Bandicoot has been in the news lately. Despite the series being quite old, there are still plenty of old-school fans who want to see the beloved platforming hero return. Sony stated that the IP is still owned by Activision but a recent discovery showed that the latter had removed all mention of the character from its site. This prompted even more rumours that the IP went back to Sony.

However, an Activision rep has clarified to Game Informer that it still owns the franchise. “Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life.”

There were some glimmers of a reboot for Crash in the past few months, with some art being leaked from a recent studio shot. Are you looking forward to Crash Bandicoot returning, preferably for the PlayStation 4 as an exclusive? Or would you prefer a multi-platfrom platformer? Let us know below.
