According to the Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time PlayStation Store listing, the game has some form of local multiplayer. Below the description, the page clearly states "Offline multiplayer (2-4 players)". There's been no mention of multiplayer in any of the game's marketing materials, so it's unclear what this bullet point refers to.
It could be some kind of co-op mode, or maybe a mode where players take turns speed running levels? Your guess is as good as ours. No doubt we'll get some confirmation in the relatively near future.

Could be similar to the original Donkey Kong Country games, where you could partner as different characters or play one at a time separately.
Probably remade crash bash
That extra will make the game a real gem.
@sawaoyamanaka I was about to say the same
Lets hope without the trophies or a separate list.
@Flaming_Kaiser I second this good sir!
Looks nice, but there is no way I'm paying the price this is listed for everywhere lol.
Will wait for a sale.
No doubt there will be a trophy that comes with it that means you'll BOTH need to be experts at the game and no less than 1000 hours of practice will do. No thanks. Leave multiplayer out of single player games. I thought we'd learnt this over the past few years. Even the latest COD doesn't have multiplayer trophies.
@xRetrox I just dont have friends or family who play videogames and i dont want too force my 70 year old dad too play the game. π
@elvisfan1 you know games are not meant to be played for trophies, right ?
That being said, I'm looking forward to the trophy hunt on this game, as much as I'll be glad to play it with a friend.
@DuncanMcleod right? God forbid a trophy is made for those that do play coop π
@DuncanMcleod I enjoy hunting for trophies, I enjoy the sense of completion and I enjoy exploring parts of a game I never would have, seeing things I never would have and adopting different playstyles I never would have. To achieve this, forcing interaction with other players is a thing I could do without. Forcing me into multiplayer in what is supposed to be a single player game (Last of Us as an example) I could also do without. If it's out of my control, then I find it frustrating, not fun.
@MarcG420 That's fine, I'm all for a separate list, that I can remove from the single player list entirely. That would be fantastic.
@elvisfan1 I think you're putting way to much importance on the completion of your trophy list. Don't get me wrong, I'm a trophy hunter too, but the main interest of a game is to have fun. And one of the best way to have fun is to play with a friend or gf and have a good laugh. Even if that means giving up on a Platinium trophy, honestly it doesn't matter that much, does it ?
And to be fair, this generation hasn't seen as many local coop games as the previous ones, so I think we can't really complain about coop games ruining solo experiences.
@elvisfan1 why should there be a separate list? Inclusion is a good thing ππ
@DuncanMcleod The main interest of a game is to have fun I agree and for me, co-op and multiplayer aren't fun generally. Again, it is personal to want that platinum, that 100% but it does truly put me off a game if I know it's going to be a grind or I have no-one to play it with. It means finding a boosting partner etc. I much prefer it if the multiplayer and the single player are kept separate, much like the Warzone and Modern Warfare. Takes the pressure off for me. Each to their own though.
Looking at that trailer they can't possibly mean multiplayer like Ratchet & Clank All For One b/c those levels all look too narrow and too fast paced.
"it's unclear what this bullet point refers to"
Well it ain't 24 players at once, I can tell that much.
Anyway, joke's on you guys, Crash got his non-spinoff, platforming game multiplayer back in the GBA days.
Aaaaaaaaaand it sucked.
Cool. Not enough games have local MP these days and is still the best way to play MP imo. Socially distanced of course!
@GoodGame As much as I appreciate the Crash Bandicoot series, will also be waiting for a decent sale too.
$60 is way too much for what will probably be a short platformer.
