A new leak suggestsCrash Bandicoot 4: It’sAbout Timemay becoming to the Nintendo Switch. After the launch of the game in October, dataminers have been digging throughCrash Bandicoot 4: It’sAbout Timeand have discovered a reason to believe the title may soon be coming to Nintendo Switch.

The widely successful and acclaimed platformer may now be coming to the Nintendo Switch, a rumor circulating due to the finds of the dataminers working onCrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.Dataminers, as the name might suggest, dig through game source code, looking for any interesting clues or hints that the original developers might have left behind intentionally or unintentionally. The rumor originates from dataminers having discovered a Nintendo Switch profile within theCrash Bandicoot 4: It’sAbout Timefiles.
Some have suggested that the find does not necessarily mean that the game will be coming to any of the Nintendo Switch consoles. While it is unusual, it’s entirely possible that the snippets of data found could simply be leftover code from Unreal Engine 4. YouTuber Canadian Guy Eh also highlights a section of the code which reads “Copied from Falcon.” A small detail, but it is difficult to ignore, as Falcon was the project name forSpyro Reignited Trilogy, a game also developed by Toys for Bob and ended up being ported to the Nintendo Switch. This could be an explanation for why a profile for the Nintendo Switch exists within a game that as of yet is not currently available and has not yet been announced for the Nintendo Switch.
Activision has already pondered about bringingCrash Bandicoot 4to more consoles, however as it stands, none of the major parties involved out of Nintendo, Toys for Bob, nor Activision have made a comment on the leak. This would not the first time potentialNintendo Switch portsfor games have leaked through dataminers, and fans of the series will still have reason to be excited.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeis out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
