“We are so excited to give players the ability to play as Coco
in all three games in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy,”
said Jennifer Oneal, studio head for Vicarious Visions. “She’s not
just Crash’s little sister, she is a force to be reckoned with. Our
vision was to create a modern Coco for Crash fans and newcomers,
and we think they’re going to love playing as her.”
In the remastered Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Coco
has decided to hack into the Time Twister to travel back in time to
help Crash in his previous adventures. Now as a fully playable (and
a bit sassy) character across all three games, fans can switch
between playing as Crash or Coco. Both characters have an N. Sane
set of special attacks – each with their own style! Where Crash
body slams enemies, Coco takes them out with the impact of a double
leg drop! Fans will love to see all her new moves and animations,
including idle moves like dancing with Crash.
“Activision recently left a nearly complete build of the
remastered Crash trilogy at Naughty Dog, and I’ve played all three
games,” said Evan Wells, President, Naughty Dog. “Vicarious Visions
took amazing care in maintaining the feel and soul of the originals
but brought the visuals up to modern day standards and added a
number of new features that’s made them even more fun to play than
remembered.”
Fans will enjoy seeing their beloved '90s video game icons like
never before in this fully remastered game collection. Developed by
Vicarious Visions, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy takes
advantage of PlayStation 4 features and offers brand-new lighting,
animations, textures, models and recreated cinematics—all in
dazzling “N. Hanced Fur-K” and PS4 Pro HD.
Full analog stick support and a unified save system and
checkpoint system will make it easier for new fans to enjoy the
classic adventures. And improved bonus levels and time trials in
this epic trilogy will challenge the hardest of the 'Coot core!
Fans will enjoy seeing how they stack up against their friends and
other players around the world via the online leaderboards.
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, Lex
Lang and Debi Derryberry, among others.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is slated to spin, jump
and wump onto store shelves on June 30, 2017 and is available now
worldwide for pre-order on PS4 and PS4 Pro for the suggested retail
price of $39.99. For more information about Crash Bandicoot N.
