Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Gives Beloved Franchise a Boost
Crash is back and ready to go for a spin, as Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is now available for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Keep your eye out as the game’s Grand Prix will kick off on July 3rd with free downloadable seasonal content for anyone who has purchased the game, including a new themed track each season, new characters, karts and customizations that can be earned in online play.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has been built from the ground up and is designed to remaster the original Crash Team Racing game by bringing back the characters, karts, tracks and arenas you know and love to modern console HD graphics. This is NOT a re-skin! Nitro-Fueled allows you to play as a variety of Crash Bandicoot characters including Crash, Coco, Dr. Neo Cortex and many more as you race against the egomaniacal Nitros Oxide to save our planet from destruction.
The game offers full ‘fur-K’ (4K) video support, allowing you to experience the Crash antics with unrivaled detail as you whiz around the track and blast each other with power-ups from the original CTR game, as well as reimagined tracks from Crash Nitro Kart. Nitro-Fueled also debuts competitive online gameplay for the franchise, just in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
“The wait is finally over, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is ready for its inaugural ride,” said Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head at Beenox. “A lot of care and attention to detail went into developing this game for fans of the original Crash Team Racing 20 years ago, and new fans who expect a modern kart racing experience.
Staying true to the original CTR games, while adding so much more content and creating a living, breathing world that just wasn’t possible on first generation platforms has been a true labor of love!”
Another first for the franchise is the opportunity to customize your kart and character in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled! Players will be able to select a plethora of customizations for kart bodies, wheels, paint jobs, stickers and even decals. In addition to this kart customization, CTR Nitro-Fueled also enables players to customize their racers by adorning them with all many of swag-filled garments.
Personally, I cannot wait to dig into this beloved franchise once more and experience my childhood again – in full 4k HD!
