Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has just dropped new gameplay details for playable bandicoot Tawna ahead of its September 16 hands-on demo. Check out the gameplay below. 

It doesn't look like Tawna will be playable in the demo, but the sneak peek we've gotten has a lot to be excited about. Tawna "looks a little different than you might remember" because she's actually Tawna from an alternate universe (she has very cool hair). She serves as the Crash Bandicoot of that alternate universe - a badass hero and adventurer with an outfit I would genuinely wear. For more details on this iteration of Tawna, head to the PlayStation blog post right here. 

From a gameplay perspective, Tawna will bring a few new things to the table that Crash, Neo Cortex, Dingo Dile, and Coco don't have. First, she's incredibly nimble, with a wall jump that no other character has, and a grappling hook that she can use for traversal or for combat. "If you're on the ground with Tawna, then you're playing her wrong," the video warns.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time feels like a sequel 22 years in the making.
