There has been much chatter about Crash Bandicoot making a comeback, more so than ever in the last few weeks as there were several nods to Crash Bandicoot in Uncharted 4 with no mention of Activision in the credits.
PlayStation’s Adam Boyes took to the Twitter to confirm that the rights are still with Activision. On the surface, it would appear that this would rule out a Crash game coming to PlayStation anytime in the near future, although it’s quite possible that Sony would only license the Crash IP in order to create a new entry in the franchise.
@tulupowdan yes, as I've said before Activision owns the rights to Crash Bandicoot

This E3 still stands to be the most likely that we’ll see a Crash related an announcement. It is Crash Bandicoots 20th anniversary this year so there really is no better time.
