Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled was announced at the Game Awards 2018.

The game will release on June 21 2019 and will be fully remade from the ground up and it seems like it'll come to PS4 first.

We expect more information soon.

Check out the debut trailer below.

GAME AWARDS 2018 UPDATE

It looks like we're going to be getting a Crash Team Racing remake announcement at The Game Awards 2018 event tonight.

Various leaks and reports (particularly a tell-all report from Eurogamer) hint that a Crash Team Racing remake will be getting announced at the show - and that's no surprise really, especially considering the success of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane trilogy and more recently with Activision's Spyro The Dragon Remaster.

Influceners have been getting furry dice and cryptic messages suggesting the game reveal is coming, and we think it'll get a pretty decent slot at the show.

Stay tuned - we'll update you from 1.30am tonight (UK time).

Crash Team Racing, is a kart racing video game, and the fourth instalment of the Crash Bandicoot series.

The game, which was released for PlayStation, was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1999.

In the game, a ragtag team of loveable Crash Bandicoot characters have to race against the egomaniacal Nitros Oxide to save the planet.

The immensely successful PS game was praised for its gameplay and graphics.

The first three titles of the Crash Bandicoot series received a reboot last year, published by Activision and developed by Vicarious Visions.

The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was well-received by critics who loved how true the game stayed to the original series.

Now fans are hoping Crash Team Racing could be the next in the series to get a reboot.

The rebooted version of the original Crash Bandicoot series stayed at number one in the UK charts for a massive eight weeks.

Selling over 2.5 million copies worldwide by the end of September 2017, this almost guarantees a reboot for the next instalment of the series.

A merchandising company has hinted there will be another game soon.

Max Argil, licensing manager at GB eye, said: “There will be another game in 2019. Activision has a five year plan for this and GB Eye is delighted to be on board for all products.”

Argil also revealed in February the Crash Bandicoot trilogy would later launch for Nintendo Switch and PC.

He said: “The new game was a huge success at retail with no marketing spend.

“Next year will be going broader (Switch and PC) and there will be another game in 2019.”

This happened in June, 2018, so it’s not impossible to think he might be right about this too.

While Argil says with certainty there will be another Crash Bandicoot game, he does not specify which.

The 2019 launch could be Crash Team Racing, but there is also the chance it could be a new, original game in the Crash Bandicoot Series.

Vicarious Visions have played around with brand new content before with the previously scrapped level Stormy Ascent, and the their very own Future Tense.

Stormy Ascent was a notoriously difficult level which was cut during the original development of Crash Bandicoot.

Now the developer has rebuilt it alongside a brand-new bonus area.

Future Tense is the first brand-new level designed for the trilogy.

The level is difficult, dangerous and full of hidden areas to discover.

This could mean Vicarious Visions are keen to expand their creativity further.

A new job posting at Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy developer Vicarious Visions could be suggesting the little orange mammal is coming back in a multiplayer escapade.

The developer is looking to bring on a Multiplayer Networking Architect... the optimist in us believes that this could be for a Crash Team Racing or Crash Bash (or both?) project, that'll be complete with online multiplayer... but it could realistically be for pretty much anything.

We don't know what else Vicarious Visions is working on, though, and after the rampant success of the rebooted games, it'd make sense to see more of them in the future.

Keep your fingers crossed.

It could be good news for Crash Bandicoot fans, as PlayStation has mentioned Crash Bandicoot Racing in a recent survey to Asia members.

Crash Bandicoot Racing is the Japanese name for Crash Team Racing.

The survey asks which games out of a list the users have played.

When asked whether Activision would consider more remakes in the future, Vicarious Vision producer Kara Massie confirmed one of the biggest requests was for a remake of Crash Bandicoot Racing.

She said given the chance they would love to work on another remake.

Considering the success of the N Sane Trilogy, there is no doubt it is a big possibility.
