A package full ofCrash Bandicootgoodies is seemingly being sent out to the gaming press, and as per the showcase of YouTuberCanadian Guy Eh, the box appears to be teasing a future announcement. It’s portrayed as a pizza box, and at the bottom of the supposed bill, it reads “Hungry for more? Try our new Wumpa pizza for $12.08.” Though it appears a random and unspecific statement on the surface, Canadian Guy Eh was quick to point out that this year’s Game Awards are set to occur on December 8, the date of which matches the stated price of the ‘Wumpa Pizza.’

This tease is what’s getting the most attention; unsurprising, as it’s slightly cryptic nature may be teasing a new project. However, the pizza bill itself has a more direct announcement of its own. Written as bill items, it plainly reads, “Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Timeis coming to Steam October 18th.” The long-awaited sequel to the iconic platforming series launched back in 2020, and it was generally deemed a solid continuation of the franchise. It was released for PC in March 2021 but has only been available viaActivision-Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher. This is seemingly about to change.
It’s worth noting that there is currently only one source for this tease, that being Canadian Guy Eh. However, he showcased the box in detail and showed off all the merch, which included a Crash-themed t-shirt, charging case, and mouse-pad. All of them looked official, so the odds of this being staged are slim-to-none.
There’s recently been a lot of buzz surrounding developers Toys For Bob and what their next game might be. Not too long ago, they teased they had a game in development by posting aTwitter imageof their 17 games, with a ‘???’ over an 18th image and a caption that read “Ya know, it’s pretty convenient we have more wall space to cover…” Furthermore, the ‘Wumpa pizza’ looks to be a direct reference to Wumpa League, a Crash Bandicoot multiplayer that has been talked about and rumored for more than a year.
Allegedly, it was a canceled add-on for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which was then spun off to be its own game, and subsequently canceled. It may have been revived though, as back in June 2022,insider Jez Corden claimedthat “a multiplayer Crash Bandicoot game with brawler mechanics” was in the works. Reporter Liam Robertsonstatedlast year that the game was a colectathon platformer that involved collecting Wumpa and bringing it back to your team’s bank.
