Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, developer Beenox’s slick remake of Naughty Dog’s much-loved PlayStation kart racer, is getting a brand-new dinosaur-themed track this week, as part of the freshly unveiled Back N. Time Grand Prix event. Oh, and Activision is taking the opportunity to introduce micro-transactions too.
Back N. Time is a new limited-time Grand Prix event (following on from Nitro-Fueled’s recent Nitro Tour effort), and comes to Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this Friday, 2nd August at 3pm in the UK/7am PDT. It runs until 25th August.
Activision’s latest offering is an all-round dino-flavoured affair, introducing new karts, skins, characters, and customisation items, plus the aforementioned new track, Prehistoric Playground. This is said to feature “Jurassic-sized flora, violent geysers bursting from the ground, caves with mysterious wall-paintings, and of course, giant dinosaurs roaming the land”.
