We sincerely hope that Crash Bandicoot puts in appearance during Sony's E3 2016 press conference, because we're getting a bit sick of writing these filler stories. In the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, there's an interview with Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe president Jim Ryan, and in it, the always talkative exec comments on everyone's favourite 'coot.
Ryan reveals that Sony is "aware of the considerable affection" for Naughty Dog's creation, but goes on to say that the company can give "no updates" on the situation "at this stage". Come on Jim, we all want to see you waltz on stage next month wearing a Crash Bandicoot sweater.
Do you believe? Is Sony stocking up on wumpa fruit? Spin until you're dizzy in the comments section below.

All very well making a new Crash game but it needs to be the right developer or it's pointless. There have been rubbish CB games as well.. on the PS2. I think people forget those exist.
SPOILERS
The first Crash Bandicoot game that I've played was in Uncharted 4.
SPOILERS
@WanderingBullet you should put spoilers on that post,i know i have a played that bit so it doesn't bother me but not everyone has played the game yet
After U4, I wonder if last years t-shirt was an Easter egg for an Easter egg...
I thought Activision owns the licence now so it could be out of Sony's hands. I know Sony has a good relationship at the moment with Activision but at the end of the day, it will come down to them and their development teams. It does seem that gamers are keen to return to the 3D platfotmers - with the success of R&C and Yooka-Laylee's kickstarter campaign. I do think it inevitable that we will see more in the next few years - after all the next logical step from 2D platformers was to 3D and the 'indie' market certainly has a lot of those...
Saying it here, new Crash at E3 2016.
Vocal minority. I have no objection but also no real interest. Clank and Ratchet have set the bar, good luck.
@FullbringIchigo Ooops. There, done.
Yup, it's definitely going to be at E3.
Good thing I jumped off that ship XD
There's no smoke without fire, and there's a heck of a lot of smoke...
Surely now is the time?
Crash will be at E3 next month and there will be some sort of Crash release either late this year or early next year.
I just have that feeling.
Here is the pattern: Year one troll people, year two announce the game.
My proof: FFVII and (maybe) Crash Bandicoot. If I'm right whatever sony trolls us with at a major press event this year will be truth.
The worst kept secret in gaming! We all know it's going to have an E3 release update! Think we will all be more shocked if we don't see it!
It's got to be announced at E3 as there's been plenty of references to Crash over the years, time to stop trolling Sony and give us the Bandicoot we all want back.
@LieutenantFatman yep,exactly right.I'd love a new Crash game but it's really the only ones created by Naughty Dog that were any good! Every other Crash game that came after was a huge disappointment,in the end I just stopped buying them.
@get2sammyb
E3 2016, Crash 4 and Knack 2!!
You know, as much as people like to bash Crash, the second and third games are still some of the best titles of the PS1 gen, ultra polished and still fun to this day (the original 1996 Crash I feel has some problems in terms of level design and difficulty spikes).
BTW, the commercial with the guy in the Crash Bandicoot suit....sitting outside of Nintendo of America's HQ and making fun of Mario through a loud speaker is quintessential 1990's.
I just don't see it as being an E3 announcement. Doesn't seem like the right stage to bring back a fifteen year old mascot platformer. If it's real you'll probably have to wait until psx.
@JoeBlogs You've got that wrong!........he's from Australia.....
You can't hide it from us Jim-lad. It's a comin'!
@Grawlog That be great crash PSone classics on Vita
So many people are going to be disappointed when this doesn't show up at e3
@itshoggie would be more dissapointed if they bring it back and it's rubbish.
If Sony does acquire the rights, who'd develop it? Naughty dog won't.
I've already been playing CB with one of my new games.
"we're getting a bit sick of writing these filler stories"
Ha
But seriously, new Crash Bandicoot would be nice.
Imagine this, Sony finally unveils a new Crash game then Shawn Layden comes out wearing a Spyro the dragon shirt
yea, I think they are going to show it as a surprise at E3, if not, that's going to really suck. LOL
And I thought it was Sammy the only one who couldnt get over the shirt...
I'm confident Sony has acquired the license and crash ps4 is happening
I'd take a new Jak & Daxter over Crash tbh
I (not Cortex) have had the "Toxic Waste" theme on my mind today.
Cortex is mad...........!
@Wazeddie22 you the best ones!
the Sierra ones were disgraceful!
