Crash Team Racing Remaster Rumored To Appear At The Game Awards
By Ford James ·
Could we see Crash Team Racing on PlayStation 4 announced at The Game Awards? If a Crash Bandicoot fan page is anything to go by then it's a possibility.
UPDATE 11AM Eastern 4/12: Hollie Bennett, channel manager at PlayStation Access, tweeted out earlier today that she had received some orange fluffy dice in the mail. They were accompanied by a note that reads: "Sliding into the Game Awards on 6/12... - Anonymous." This lends more credence to the original story below, with the Facebook post about December 6, because that's when the Game Awards are taking place.
All aboard, the hype train is getting ready to depart!
So....uh....these just arrived at my house.

Original story: Ever since the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy launched on PS4 in 2016, fans of the originals on PlayStation One have been crying out for remastered versions of both Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash. It seems like the former could well be a possibility, as a Crash Bandicoot Facebook fan page has rather blatantly hinted at it being a possibility, including a potential announcement later this week.
Yesterday, on December 2, 2018, the “Crash Bandicoot PS4” fan page posted an image of Crash scratching his head with the caption “Ummmmmm.... 12.06.2018?”. Today, that was followed up by changing their page header image to be the famous white and grey checkered flag from Crash Team Racing. Is it time for the hype train?
It’s worth noting that this fan page is most definitely not an official page. If you compare it with the “Crash Bandicoot” page, you’ll notice the latter has a blue tick to indicate that it’s verified. It also has just under 700,000 followers whereas the page teasing Crash Team Racing Remastered only has about 76,000 at the time of writing.
They’re definitely implying that they know something though, so it’s either an elaborate troll or old-school Crash Bandicoot fans will be jumping for joy later this week. If you’re unaware of what Crash Team Racing is, think of Mario Kart, but in the Crash Bandicoot universe. It was a classic on the original PlayStation, while Crash Bash was a game full of smaller mini-games and multiplayer fun.
been digging a bit and it's really unclear as to whether or not this is official - it's also not the first time the page has posted stuff like this, so i'll remain optimistic but wait for a studio/pub confirmation https://t.co/vw7LPeuMRZ

This rumor was originally brought to our attention by @failnaut on Twitter who has since deleted the first tweet and clarified that it’s important to wait for official confirmation from the developers or publisher.
