“Crash Bandicoot is one of the most iconic videogame characters

Bandicoot® N. Sane Trilogy,” said Jennifer Oneal, Studio Head
for Vicarious Visions. “We’re huge fans and are excited to finally
share what the Crash team at Vicarious Visions has been doing to
bring Crash back to life in these three remastered games.”
Developed by Vicarious Visions, Crash Bandicoot® N. Sane
Trilogy is being built from the ground up for the PlayStation 4
with brand-new lighting, animations, environments and recreated
cinematics—all in stunning “N. Hanced Fur-K” and PS4 Pro
HD. Fans new and old alike will enjoy seeing the beloved ’90s
video game icon like never before in this fully-remastered game
collection.
What’s more, the trilogy will feature full analog stick support,
a unified save system and unified checkpoint system, making it
easier than ever for new fans to enjoy the classic adventures.
Additionally, improved bonus levels and time trials throughout the
games will make this an epic trilogy for the hardest of the ’Coot
core!
Activision and Vicarious Visions are honoring the heritage of
Crash throughout the trilogy in a variety of ways, including a
fully-remastered game soundtrack, packed with all the didgeridoos,
xylophones and thumpin’ bass lines you can handle, as well as newly
recorded dialogue from some of the familiar voice actors who appear
in the original Crash Bandicoot games, including Jess Harnell and
Lex Lang, among others.
For players who can’t wait until next year to get their hands on
the Crash Bandicoot® N. Sane Trilogy, they can play right
now as Crash Bandicoot in Skylanders® Imaginators and enjoy
TNT boxes, crabs, temple ruins and Wumpa Fruit in the all-new
dedicated level Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands. Crash also appears in two
episodes of the new Skylanders™ Academy television series,
streaming now on Netflix. Crash and Skylanders® fans alike have
shown a huge amount of enthusiasm for both the new game and
series!
