There have been rumors and hints regarding a new Crash Bandicoot game and now Activision itself is contributing to those rumors. A promotional pizza box for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time‘s heavily implied Steam release also has a subtle hint on it that seems to suggest that there will be some new Crash game reveal at The Game Awards in December.
YouTuber Canadian Guy Eh pointed this out in his unboxing video regarding the aforementioned pizza box sent to him by Activision. While the inside of the box just contained random Crash 4-related trinkets, the outside of the box was more noteworthy and had a quote with an oddly specific price on it: “Hungry for more? Try our new Wumpa pizza for $12.08.” That price can easily be translated as December 8, which is the same day as The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley’s annual award show.

Keighley has a history with Crash Bandicoot reveals. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was announced at the Game Awards in 2018. Crash Bandicoot 4 was officially revealed at Summer Game Fest 2020, which featured Crash wearing a giant cloth mask standing aside Keighley himself. Given the history, it wouldn’t be too out of the question for another Crash game to appear at another one of his events.
It hasn’t been confirmed, but there have been persistent rumors surrounding a multiplayer Crash game called Wumpa League. The game has popped up time and time again in both official (like a tease in a promotional video, a GDC talk with the game’s alleged title, and a reference that players would see Crash again in an anniversary post) and unofficial channels (like Windows Central Editor Jez Corden mentioning it on a podcast and Liam Robertson from Did You Know Gaming? tweeting about it). Toys for Bob also confirmed it was developing a new game, but has yet to verify what it will be.
