The lovable bandicoot may make his way back to the PS4 soon as the much awaited "Crash Bandicoot" remastered version is rumored to be out by February next year.

Sony announced during its press conference at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo that the first three "Crash" games, "Crash Bandicoot," "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back," and Crash Bandicoot: Warped" will all be getting the remaster treatment, prompting a huge cheer from the crowd.

The company giant did not specify an exact release date for the remastered bundle during the announcement, stating only that the games will be launched next year. A recent leak, however, may have pointed fans to a February 2017 release date.

Finnish retailer VPD.fi has listed the "Crash Bandicoot Remastered" bundle on their site for a Feb. 28, 2017 release, according to Rectify Gaming. The site also noted that the date is also the same launch date of another highly anticipated PS4 exclusive adventure game, "Horizon Zero Dawn."

We should also clarify that the date indicated on the listing may simply be a site placeholder, a common practice among online retailers. Either way, more information about the "Crash Bandicoot" remasters are expected to surface at this year's Playstation Experience, which will take place in Anaheim on Dec. 3 and 4.

The "Crash Bandicoot" remaster marks the comeback of the franchise, and signals a new "Crash Bandicoot" title in the future.

Sony's PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan told Game Reactor in an interview that the possibility of a new "Crash Bandicoot" title is high, while giving the fans a taste of what Sony has in store.

"You know, we've got to keep you guys hoping for stuff that's coming in the future," Ryan said, "Tease you a little bit as well."

It could be possible that Sony is currently in negotiations with Activision to do a new "Crash Bandicoot" title, as the game publisher still holds the rights to the IP, Gamepur reported. In the meantime, "Crash Bandicoot Remastered" is coming our way next year. Stay tuned for more updates.
