Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled racing onto consoles June 2019

One of the best mascot-driven kart racers ever (not named Mario Kart), Crash Team Racing, is finally getting the remaster that it deserves.

Announced last night during The Game Awards 2018 by Activision, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is set to race onto the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, complete with online gameplay, on June 21st, 2019 starting at $39.99. Beenox is handling the development of the game, and so far, it’s looking pretty great!  The game is not just a remaster, as there will be more content and features all around.

See the announcement and media below.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled screens:

Crash is back again, and this time he?s revved up to the max in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, an authentic Crash Team Racing experience that?s been remastered in stunning HD and so much more. Power-sliding into players? hands on June 21st, 2019, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled also brings fans online multiplayer racing. Get ready to start your engines as the game will be available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, and the family of Xbox One devices from Microsoft, including the Xbox One X.

Developed by Beenox and published by Activision, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is built from the ground up and remasters the original Crash racing game by bringing the characters, karts, tracks and arenas to modern console HD graphics. Fans will be able to see Crash and friends? expressions and antics in beautiful detail as they blast each other with power-ups and whiz around the corners in all the original racetracks. The stakes are high and the competition is fierce as players race with a variety of Crash Bandicoot series characters, including Crash, Coco, Dr. Neo Cortex and others against the egomaniacal Nitros Oxide to save our planet from destruction. In the new game, Adventure, Arcade Single Race and Cup Race, Time Trials and Battle Mode are back. Play Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled single player or vs. friends both online and offline.

?The love that fans have for Crash Team Racing goes beyond just a fun kart racing game, and we?re excited to finally show fans what we?ve been working on to celebrate its 20th anniversary,? said Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head at Beenox. ?Not only are we revamping Crash Team Racing from the kart up in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, we are giving fans a whole lot more including all the characters and tracks they love, with tons of added animations and personality that the original platform just couldn?t convey. We can?t wait to see fans go head-to-head as they test their Crash kart racing mettle in online multiplayer.?

Players who want to kick their Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled into the highest gear can pre-order the Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Nitros Oxide Edition. In the digital deluxe edition, the self-proclaimed fastest racer in the galaxy, Nitros Oxide will be a playable character from day one in all game modes. Players will also receive the full Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled game, Oxide?s Hovercraft kart, space-themed character skins for Crash, Coco, Cortex, and much more. Players who do not purchase the Nitros Oxide Edition can earn the Nitros Oxide character and Oxide?s Hovercraft kart by completing some of the fiercest challenges in the Adventure Mode.
