Activision just announced that those who pre-order Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will get to play the demo next week, September 17, 2020.
The demo will contain two levels from the platformer, allowing players to play either Crash or the big bad Neo Cortex. Two of the four Quantum Masks will be available in the demo; Kupuna-Wa which controls time and Lani-Loli that allows you to phase objects in and out of existence.
Also, Activision released a new trailer showing off some Tawna gameplay, one of the many playable characters in Crash Bandicoot 4: it’s About Time.
Tawna is the third new payable character for Crash 4. Neo Cortex was the first one announced and soon after the flamethrower-rocket launcher wielding Dingodile, and each of these characters “has a unique way to move about and interact with the world.” according to art director Josh Nadelberg, who talked about the game in PlayStation Blog’s latest post.
Tawna is just as unique as she is equipped with a hook-shot ability to allow her to move around the levels, a ground-pound attack, plus the ability to wall jump.

I really enjoyed the time that I spent with Kirby Air Riders. But from what I’ve seen in the global test ride, plus in the Nintendo Directs, I can’t justify the $70 price tag, as I’d probably only play it for 12-15 hours before moving on to more interesting titles.
