Developed by Beenox and Published by Activision, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), Crash
Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is built from the ground up and
remasters the original Crash™ Team Racing game by bringing the
characters, karts, tracks and arenas to modern console HD graphics.
In the game, 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 game, fans will be able to see Crash and friends’ expressions
and antics in beautiful fur-k detail as they blast each other with
power-ups and whiz around the corners in all the tracks from the
original CTR game, as well as reimagined tracks and karts from
Crash™ Nitro Kart. What’s more, the legendary kart racer debuts
competitive online gameplay 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!”
For the first time in 20 years, Crash Team Racing fans will have
the opportunity to customize their karts and characters in Crash
Team Racing Nitro-Fueled! The remastered game will offer players a
variety of ways to mix and match kart bodies, wheels, paint jobs,
stickers, and even add decals to karts. Now fans – both new and
those who first fell in love with the ’90s classic – can create a
sweet looking ride!
“When it comes to remastering the beloved IP in Activision’s
portfolio of games, quality, authenticity, and community are the
key pillars that drive everything we do,” said Michelle Fonseca, VP
of Product Management and Marketing at Activision.
In addition to the ability to customize karts, Crash Team Racing
Nitro-Fueled will also let players customize their racers with some
N. sane character skins. This will allow players to adorn their
characters with a zany sense of swag and personality. Also new to
the CTR experience are unique podium animations available to
certain skins, making celebrating victories even more amazing.
Players can earn select customization items by playing through the
Adventure Mode and additional items by collecting and using in-game
Wumpa Coins when connected to the internet to swag out their kart
and characters in the game’s Pit Stop area. What’s more, character
stats, just as you remember, are returning and will include
Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced classes.
Brand-new consumer product offerings have also raced to retail
timed to the Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled release. CTR fans can
greenlight their fandom and cross the finish line in style with fun
offerings from the Activision Blizzard Consumer Products Group
(ABCPG). This includes a full starting lineup of consumer products
celebrating Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – in collaboration with
global partners Rubber Road, Trends International, and more – where
fans can access apparel, collectibles, figurines and more at
retailers worldwide.
