UPDATE: Crash Bandicoot Release Date

Another retailer has backed up the same PS4 release date for Crash Bandicoots upcoming remaster, as shown by the finnish retailer VPD.fi we reported yesturday.

Now though a second listing has been spotted, this time from Ziliongames, a Brazilian retailer who also appears to carry the same February 28th, 2017 release date.

It could be coincidence, but who knows at this point.

They even have some box art for the game.

ORIGINAL STORY

Crash Bandicoot's PS4 remaster release date may have been leaked from a Finnish retailer known as VPD.fi.

Sony announced the remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped games at E3 however no such date was given for when the remasters would be heading our way.

The listing was discovered on Reddit and details that the game will release on February 28th, 2017.

However it's unclear whether or not this is a placeholder date for the retailer, but we would highly-suspect that to be the case because while the listing appears 100% legit, it's also got the same date as PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn.

While it's not unheard of for games to release on the same date and while the game is third-party through Activision, we highly suspect that Sony would want such a prestidgeous title launching on the same day as their newest IP.

Although it was the Uncharted and Last of Us developers Naughty Dog who first brought Crash to our screens, it will be developers Vicarious Visions who will be charged with bringing the classic PlayStation titles back to the PS4.

For those not familliar with Vicarious Visions work, they most recently developed games in the Skylanders series including Skylanders Superchargers and Skylanders: Swap Force.

They've also some experience in porting games between the Wii and Nintendo DS, including Guitar Hero 5 and 2008's Quantum of Solace.

Before that Crash will also be appearing in a new Skylanders Imaginators game, which is planned for release on 14th October, 2016.

This was also revealed during the Sony Interactive Entertainment America E3 Press Conference and will see famed voice actor Jess Harnell reprising his role as Crash.

"Activision is paying homage to the beloved ’90s videogame star in fun new ways with Skylanders Imaginators," reads a Press Release sent out by Activison.

"No Crash game would be complete without the ability to jump on TNT Crates to blow them up or collect the Bazooka Crate to get a rocket launcher.

"From his edginess to his trademark wackiness, Crash is featured with a full move set and upgrade path based around his signature spin attack, as well as callbacks to his beloved past, including moves that incorporate exploding crates with 3-2-1 countdowns, wumpa fruit, a jetpack attack from high in the air and more."

Crash will be available exclusively as part of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 Skylanders Imaginators Starter Pack at launch.
