Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy jumping onto the PS4 in 2017

In case you missed the big womp’n news during the PlayStation Experience 2016 Showcase on Saturday afternoon, Activision revealed Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for the PS4.

What is the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy you ask? Well it’s a trio of remade and remastered Crash Bandicoot titles which have been placed in the hands of the very capable Vicarious Visions. For a game series being remastered from 3 generations ago, the updated style and visuals are looking pretty solid, and we expect that fans will be happy with what they see. As long as the gameplay holds up, we’re definitely excited to revisit Crash Bandicoot, Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash: Warped next year.

The entire package will retail for $39.99 and be available sometime in 2017.
