UPDATE:

It looks like Crash isn't coming back after all. At least, not in any way NECA is aware of. In a statement to GameSpot , a NECA Toys representative said "Someone has misunderstood a comment," made by director Randy Falk. Apparently Falk "saw a faked fan-made image," and was speaking of a hypothetical scenario "if the game were coming back," in which case NECA said it would "love to do figures."

NECA Toys' toy director Randy Falk said Sony is bringing back Crash Bandicoot . During the New York Toy Fair this weekend, Falk spoke with PixelDan about NECA's upcoming products.In the video posted on Destructoid , Falk says the company has "a lot of stuff going on with Sony." The toy director continues to praise Sony and its titles, saying "I see they're bringing Crash Bandicoot back, so there's some great stuff there."Falk's hint comes days after PlayStation Middle East posted a tribute to the title—perhaps a tease for an announcement to come?Back in 2014, Sony president Andrew House said that a Crash Bandicoot reboot is possible , and noted that he "definitely wouldn't close the door on that." Crash Bandicoot released in 1996 , giving Sony the "staple franchise" it needed.The first game was followed by three more Crash games, and the franchise was then sold to Activision in the early 2000s. Activision still holds the rights to the franchise, though its possible that Sony and Activision could be working together on the reboot.
