Crash Bandicoot 4: "It's about time--New Drop" (2020) :30 (USA)

Activision and Battery, the creative advertising agency that makes game-changing campaigns for a variety of top global consumer brands, have teamed up on the launch of a campaign for Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time. The highly anticipated video game is the first original game to the Crash franchise in more than 12 years. The new campaign breaks today, the game will drop on October 2, 2020. 

 

“Crash is back with new levels, new moves, new powers and epic boss battles never seen before,” said Michelle Bresaw, VP of Product Management and Marketing. “To help give everyone a heads up and get Crash fans ready for what’s ahead, we are teaming up with Battery, our longtime advertising partner and a true creative leader in gaming entertainment marketing. This will be a Bandi-hoot!”

 

“Fans are finally getting the all-new Crash game they’ve been waiting for, and it’s about time,” said Battery Creative Director Drea Schneider, who worked on the campaign with fellow Creative Director Michelle Nam Fischer. “Crash 4 picks up where the original trilogy left off in the ‘90s,” said Nam Fischer. “So we wanted to bring back some of what made those commercials so great, but through a modern lens.”

 

The popular rap artist and Crash fan Quavo makes a guest appearance in the “New Drop” trailer in which Crash crashes a sneaker drop at a sneaker store and encounters the rapper. Crash spots Quavo as a genuine fan, with his blinged-out Aku Aku chain, and starts to call out the new powers and features of Crash Bandicoot™ 4 as Quavo responds back with his signature ad-libs.
