Crash Bandicoot 4 Will Have Over 100 Levels & In-Game Purchases

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time will feature over 100 levels and in-game purchases of some description. According to an email from GameStop received by fans, the forthcoming game will feature "100+ levels of play" as well as "new game modes" when it launches in October. For some perspective, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped had 32 levels including bosses and secrets.

A Microsoft Store page for the game includes a little plus symbol next to the game's price tag, which suggests that the game "offers in-app purchases" of some kind. It's not clear how these will work, as of yet, but microtransactions were previously added to Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled in August 2019 as part of a post-launch update. In the racing spin-off, players could purchase Wumpa Coins using real-world money, with which they could buy cosmetics to trick out their kart. Given that Crash Bandicoot 4 is already offering pre-order skins for its lead characters, we could see a similar system here.
