An early E3 2016 leak or a retailer responding to rumours? This could be a case of both, in all honesty. While there's real reason to believe that something is going on with the Crash Bandicoot brand, the fact that Swiss retailer Alcom has listed a new entry for the PlayStation 4 is not evidence of anything at all – the store's also taking pre-orders for The Last of Us 2 and Half-Life 3, after all.
Still, there's been more smoke surrounding the 'Coot than even sure-fire bets like the PS4K. It all started with constant references to the character, and then a toymaker mentioned that Sony's bringing him back. We still can't really talk about the final piece in the puzzle, but it's a big one, and if you've played Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, then you'll know what we're referring to.

These leaks are generally right, but I'll still be holding my breath for e3
I'd say Crash is most likely making a comeback. Too many hints have been drip dropped here and there for it to not be a legitimate thing.
The Kinda Funny guys keep pouring cold water on it saying that Crash was never that good. But I get the impression that they know something, I remember Colin Moriarty said ahead of PSX last year that there's announcements to come that he's interested how the PlayStation would react, he said that with a smile which makes me wonder.
I won't believe this store because they have Half-Life 3 up for pre-order, but I can hope for Crash.
Realistically speaking even if Crash comes back, the main question is by whom?
Option A: I don't see why Activision would bother and they are far too stingy to license it out to Sony...
Option B: Does anyone remember post ND Crash games? Naughty Dog have on record stated they've "mature past" that stage, so who are you guys thinking is developing Crash?
Option C: Sony bought the IP in the hopes of banking on more Nostalgia to further develop what happened at E3 2015.
Despite the heavy amount of subtle hints, I still believe it's not happening.
Wait...people are actually pre-ordering Half Life 3? Woah.
O.O my face till e3
@adf86 I think he said after the show that he was referring to Ni No Kuni 2.
@get2sammyb Is there some reason to think it's a new game as opposed to a remastered HD bundle? PS3 and PS4 both had their share.
Well at least Yooka-Laylee looks like it's coming along.
Crash Bandicoot for PS4 has to happen at this point. Even if just a remake of the original. There's been too many hints of something going on with the franchise that it would be crazy not to do anything with it.
Yeah, Crash has to make some type of an appearance at E3. Too many hints, and Sony know that people want a new Crash game. Better not hype myself too much though, just in case nothing happens.
Have to wonder why they would bother really.
That bit in Uncharted is one of my favorite non-Nintendo gaming moments ever.
If crash is playable in uncharted 4, then its a given that there will be a new crash game. It will be announced at e3.
