Sony revealed Crash Bandicoot’s return tonight during its lead-in presentation for the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles today.
Crash Bandicoot used to be the face of the PlayStation brand in its early years, but Universal eventually took the series multiplatform after developer Naughty Dog left the series. Even then, the last Crash game, Nitro Kart 2, came out back in 2010.

Crash made a cameo appearance earlier this year in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the latest game from original Crash developer Naughty Dog.
