The game’s story is a direct sequel Crash Bandicoot: Warped, which was part of 2017’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

According to Activision, here’s what the game is about:

Join Crash, Coco and friends across time and space to stop Neo Cortex, Dr. N. Tropy, and other nefarious forces from not only taking over the world but the entire multiverse.

Throughout the game, you’ll find four Quantum Masks that will allow you to bend the rules of reality and gain advanced ways to conquer dangerous obstacles.
