Today, in a first-look of CTR TV, hosts Chick and Stew revealed
all the fun awaiting players in the Grand Prix. They also revealed
that fans will get a brand-new track with each Grand Prix. The
first track is called Twilight Tour, which takes players on an epic
journey by day and night through the middle east. That’s not all,
Chick and Stew also spilled the news that Tawna will in fact be
coming to the CTR universe, as an earnable character in the first
Grand Prix. There will be new items and characters dropped into the
game’s Pit Stop rotation each Grand Prix, including members of the
Nitro Squad in the first season (formerly known as the Trophy
Girls). These racers come from regions around the world and are
ready to represent their countries with speed and strength! Chick
and Stew also let fans know about the content they can expect in
the two following Grand Prix Seasons, including the most
anticipated event of the century…Spyro’s induction to CTR!
Additionally, in the South Lobby of the Los Angeles Convention
Center at E3 (June 11-13), show attendees can test drive Crash Team
Racing Nitro-Fueled. Passersby will be among the first in the world
to race on remastered Crash Team Racing tracks: Tiny’s Arena and
Hot Air Skyway and reimagined Crash™ Nitro Kart tracks: Jungle
Boogie and Thunderstruck.
“Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was designed to deliver fun in
unexpected and exciting ways. The Grand Prix does that by giving
players a reason to fall in love with the game over and over
again,” said Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head at Beenox. “Crash Team
Racing was an iconic game in the ‘90s that influenced how gamers
played kart racer games, and we’re thrilled to continue that
tradition with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled by introducing new
content to players in ways they haven’t imagined yet — the race
definitely isn’t over once you cross the finish line.”
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled features all the remastered
tracks, characters and modes from the original CTR game, and all
the reimagined tracks from the original CNK game — all playable in
stunning HD! In addition to this, with the in-game Pit Stop and the
Grand Prix seasons, players will be able to race with their earned
karts and characters from CNK, as well as content inspired by Crash
Tag Team Racing to get the best of the Crash racing universe! Get
ready to trick out your ride, complete N. sane battles, get lost in
the adventure mode, and race against your friends or frenemies in
online multiplayer and more. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
