Activision and Toys for Bob have revealed new information on the first playable demo for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time as well as a new playable character that will appear in the game. On September 16th, players that pre-ordered the game digitally on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will receive a demo with two of the game’s levels. In the demo, players will be able to control Crash or Doctor Neo Cortex. Coco and Dingodile have been confirmed for as playable, but it seems that fans will have to wait until the full game’s release to play as the characters. Additionally, a fifth playable character has now been revealed: Tawna Bandicoot!

Tawna Bandicoot first appeared in the original Crash Bandicoot, but this version of the character hails from an alternate dimension. The original Tawna was never given much depth, and merely acted as a character for Crash to save from Doctor Neo Cortex. This version of Tawna, however, comes from a universe where she is the hero. The character will boast her own unique move set, and will use a hook-shot, which can be used both as a method of travel and as an offensive weapon. Tawna will have a fast play style, with the ability to wall-jump and execute spin kicks. To go with her unique abilities, the character also boasts a much different appearance than she’s had in previous games.
