'Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy' up for earlier launch, might clash with 'Horizon: Zero Dawn'
As a celebration for the 20th anniversary of Crash Bandicoot, a new Crash game "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" is rumored to be released sooner than expected. If the leaks about the game released will be right, Crash might clash with "Horizon Zero Dawn".
VPD.fi, a Finnish retailer reportedly listed the new Crash bundle's launch together with Horizon: Zero Dawn one day after, hence, the prediction for launch clash. The new Crash Bandicoot game for PS4 has been set for February 28 with a £44 tag under its N.Sane Trilogy name. Horizon: Zero Dawn is said to be launched on March 1 on Europe with £56.34.
According to Express, a clash seems unlikely because Crash and Horizon will not be released at the same day. However, there could be another explanation for this. Even if Horizon Zero Dawn will be available in North America on February 28, Crash Bandicoot will be available in Europe and South America the day after.
The N. Sane bundle is expected to come with upgraded versions of Cortex Strikes Bach and Warped. The development of the Crash Bandicoot Remastered Collection is said to be managed by Activision with the team behind Skylanders, Vicarious Vicions. Crash Bandicoot might star in another brand new game if the trilogy will be a success. The platform for the new Crash game is not yet clear. Crash will also appear in Skylanders Imaginators that will be released this year.
Horizon: Zero Dawn was thought to be delayed again after an erroneous computer typo changing the release date in UK into March 3. Sony clarifies that there is no delay and there's only a minor technical problem in the computer that's why it is changed to March 3. Horizon will still hit the shelves on March 1.
If the rumored release date of Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is true, we might actually see a clash between the two Sony PS4 exclusives. Neither Sony nor Activision confirmed anything so the best thing to do right now is to save up and make sure that you'll grab these great games.
