At the 2022 Game Awards, Activision Blizzard revealed the newest entry to the Crash Bandicoot series called Crash Team Rumble. The upcoming multiplayer online battle arena title featuring Crash Bandicoot and his iconic associates still doesn't have a set release date, but now a new source suggests otherwise.
Twitter user and YouTuber Canadianguyeh found a listing from a UK game retailer selling Crash Team Rumble for 64 pounds on a presale discount. More importantly, the listing claims the title is due for release on April 4, 2023. This seems quite surprising given that many of the fans responding to his tweet have never heard of the retailer. And since the developers, Toys for Bob, haven't uttered a word or released any sort of statement recently, this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
For context, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time was released just 4 months after being announced, putting it in a nearly similar release trajectory as the rumored Crash Team Rumble release date. But that's about where most of the similarities end, considering the previous title had its release date announced in the trailer.
