Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeis expected to be announced this coming Monday, June 22 at theSummer Game Fest Developer Showcase. However, some images of the game have leaked online ahead of time, potentially revealing a surprising playable character in the process.
If the leakedCrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeimages are anything to go by, it seems as though antagonist Dr. Neo Cortex will be playable in parts of the game. The images show Cortex holding some kind of a remote device in what appears to be a cut-scene, but they also show him standing on a platform and shooting a beam in what seems to be an actual level in the game. The position of the camera in the image definitely makes it look like Cortex is the playable character in this stage as opposed to a boss that Crash is fighting, though it’s possible that it’s being taken out of context and so fans should keep that in mind.
