Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is the long-awaited sequel to the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy. It follows the same game mechanics as the original game and features the story after the events of the third game in the series. In this title, Crash and his friends must stop Dr. Neo Cortex and other villains from destroying the space-time continuum.

The game's name is a pun on the history behind its development. Fans have been waiting for the follow-up to the first three games for years. "It's About Time" refers to the years that fans have waited, and the fact that the game's story itself is About Time.
