Created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, 'Crash Bandicoot' s a video game franchise of platform video games originally exclusive to the Sony PlayStation.

In spite of several news circulating online regarding the possible comeback of "Crash Bandicoot," Sony did not confirm whether the game will still have a follow-through or will not be coming back for good. Authorities only confirmed that they have nothing yet to update for the possible "Crash Bandicoot" comeback despite the nearing E3 Gaming Conference.

As the growing fan demand continues to surge for the "Crash Bandicoot" revival, Playstation authorities confirmed they have no new development regarding its possible comeback. Rumors claim that the game may be revived by Naughty Dog while other released statements indicate that it will not be revived anymore.

Despite these several varying news, fans just cannot seem to be stopped at demanding the return of "Crash Bandicoot." There were even some game play videos uploaded by fans on YouTube where Unreal 4 Engine was used to produce the said video clips.

Playstation vice president of publisher and  developer relations Adam Boyes already responded to a fan's inquiry on Twitter last week, according to the official website of Playstation Lifestyle. He repeated that only Activision has the right to franchise the said game, but neither confirmed nor denied anything regarding the "Crash Bandicoot" possible come back.  

Meanwhile, Jim Ryan from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe clarified they have nothing to update regarding the status of the said game. When asked regarding the possible "Crash Bandicoot" revival in an interview with Official Playstation Magazine UK, he revealed, "We're certainly aware of the considerable affection-even reverence-in which the mighty Crash is held, but nothing to update at this stage in that area."

The issue once again became the center of attention after several "Crash Bandicoot" Easter Eggs recently appeared in the newly released "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," a game that was also developed by Naughty Dog. This may have left an impression to some fans that "Crash Bandicoot" will be returning soon.

In other news, the E3 Gaming Conference will be opening on June 13 at 6 PM Pacific time, where the schedule is usually the day before the trade show officially opens. For viewers located on other parts of the world, the event will be available in United Kingdom by 2 AM the same day and by 9 PM Eastern time.
