made especially for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will give
fans another reason to play the game on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo
Switch and/or Steam all summer long. Combining the old with the
new, this brand-new level pays homage to the unreleased Waterfall

Developed by Vicarious Visions, Future Tense brings an extra
layer of difficulty to Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped’s Future world, as
players dodge rockets, destroy robots and leap over lasers while
ascending a massive futuristic skyscraper. This brand-new level
pays homage to the unreleased Waterfall level from the original
Crash Bandicoot game. Soon franchise fans (and speed runners) will
have something BRAND WUMPING NEW in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane
Trilogy that will challenge even the most skillful Crash
players.
Additionally, in Future Tense, Crash and Coco will take on some
familiar enemies and hazards in new and fun ways. Players will love
playing the heart-racing, high-climbing level repeatedly to explore
hidden areas and experience unexpected moments, including a
challenging Death Route. Future Tense will be accessible via a new
platform in the Warp Room of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, and
playable at any point in the game’s progression.
“Adding a new level to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
was something we always wanted to do, and introducing Future Tense
allows us to give all Crash players something new to play just in
time for the multi-platform release,” said Jennifer Oneal, Studio
Head at Vicarious Visions.
“We hope Future Tense will allow players to re-experience that
feeling from the good ‘ol days when they first cracked open a Crash
Bandicoot game and had to figure out how to get past a brand-new
challenge, or find that one last crate,” added Future Tense level
designers Ben Dorsey and Stephen Ivanauskas. “And frankly, Crash
Bandicoot levels are fun to make!”
In addition to Future Tense’s arrival to the Crash Bandicoot
N. Sane Trilogy, fans on new platforms will also receive Stormy
Ascent as a bonus level starting June 29th. Existing Crash
Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy owners on PlayStation®4 can download
Stormy Ascent starting on June 15, 2018, as a bonus level at no
additional charge from the PlayStation Store. Released last year on
PlayStation®4, Stormy Ascent is the notoriously difficult,
unfinished level from the original Crash Bandicoot game, finished
and remastered to challenge the most hardened of Crash fans!
The world’s favorite marsupial will SPIN his way to new players
on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam on June 29, 2018, marking
the first time that the original three games – Crash Bandicoot™,
Crash Bandicoot™ 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot 3:
Warped – will be playable on these platforms. The Crash
Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is available now on PlayStation®4 for
the suggested retail price of $39.99. Existing Crash Bandicoot
N. Sane Trilogy owners on PlayStation®4 can download the bonus
level from the PlayStation Store on June 29th as well. Fans can
pre-order the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for all new
platforms now for the same suggested retail price. Check out
Crashbandicoot.com for more details.
