Two new Activision games from established IPs are coming this year

Activision says that two unannounced games are coming later this year, based on "library IP from Activision". Are those new Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games?
Two new Activision games from established IPs are coming this year

During Activision's first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Activision Chief financial officer Dennis Durkin said some interesting things regarding new titles we can expect to see on 2020.

As expected, a new Call of Duty premium title is still on track for fall 2020, and as rumours suggest, it will probably be developed by Treyarch, set in Vietnam and part of the Black Ops universe.

Dennis also mentions World of Warcraft Shadowlands, which is expected to be released sometime in late summer (August/September).

The most intriguing part is that during the second half of the year we can expect "two releases based on our extensive library of IP from Activision," as he said.

Which titles could those be?

Well, we saw earlier today that Jason Dill accidentally revealed the next Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and although it is not officially confirmed, at this point we can be almost certain that's one of the two mentioned titles, since the owner of IP is Activision, and we haven't seen new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game in 5 years.

The second game is probably a rumoured new Crash game, which could be either Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex remaster or a new Crash PvP game, all according to TheGamingRevolution leaks from a few months ago.

It should be noted that he correctly pointed out that one of the remasters from Activision was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which game out a few weeks after his leaks.

Activision is generally very pleased with how did remasters and remakes turn out, and how they were accepted by audience and fans, so they say that they have plans to continue with those, along with adding new titles to existing IPs. One of those new titles is Crash Bandicoot mobile, which was silently released a few weeks ago.
