It appears that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which is arriving on Switch at the end of this month, may contain a brand new level that is not available on the already-released PlayStation 4 version.
In a game listing from RBS Import Games, a distributor of video games in Brazil, the trilogy is said to be receiving one "bonus stage" and one "bonus phase" on Switch, Xbox One, and PC. The first of these is called 'Stormy Ascent', which is already part of the PS4 release from last year, but the second one 'Future Tense' has not been seen before.
It is worth noting that Activision has not officially confirmed that any new content is on the way to these latest versions. It would be strange for a product listing to feature such specific information and be incorrect, but it might be worth waiting for an official nod before getting your hopes up too much. Hopefully we'll find out more before the game launches.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy launches on Switch on 29th June. Will you be picking up a copy?

I was undecided whether to buy this on the Switch or The Xbox One (both the same price interestingly)
One way or the other I'll be picking it up
@Marios-love-child How? It says it's the potential content is listed for Xbox One as well.
Sounds like it will be a future themed level in Crash 3.
@Menchi187
I've corrected my comment now.... I'd commented before reading the full article as the headline is slightly misleading
Crash travels to a new Kingdom of Mushrooms, where jump physics actually make sense for a change....
There doesn't need to be any new content, I am just glad the game is coming to Switch! Still blows my mind that Crash is coming to Nintendo. Even though it hasn't been a first party property in years, I still think of it as Sony's answer to Mario and Sonic.
@Heavyarms55 my mind remains firmly intact! Are you forgetting Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex (GC), Crash Nitro Kart (GC), Crash of the Titans (Wii) and Crash: Mind Over Mutant (Wii)? Not to mention the weird Spyro/Crash crossover back on the GBA.
It is cool we're getting the original trilogy on Nintendo but people are acting as though it's an unbelievable feat of tempered rivalry just to see the character on a Nintendo console when it's actually happened many times before
@MajorasLapdog I knew someone would just have to point that out. And yes, I had, in passing, heard of those titles. But beyond the original trilogy I had rarely paid attention to Crash games since. So yes, I knew that Crash left first party status years ago, I never really adjusted the idea in my mind of it.
@Heavyarms55 okay! No need to get antsy in your pantsy, was just pointing out a fact a lot of people like to forget in order to serve their romanticising of something not that incredible. It's seeing people liken it to the truly mind blowing initial merging of Mario & Sonic in the Olympics games that rattles me. That WAS revolutionary.
Anyway, you're really not missing much having skipped anything past the original trilogy.
The new stage could be something that was previously left from warped. I think it's included only on these versions to encourage people to double dip on the game, but will be added to the ps4 version later as a download.
I wonder if the "bonus phase" doesn't just refer to the time twisting mechanic added to the first 2 games to explain being able to play as Coco.
Pre-ordered it already. Very happy to see this on the go. It's enough content for me, but it's also sad that the other Crash Games are not included. My favorite Crash Game was Crash of the Titans.
@LordVal I think most people would agree the PS1 trilogy is the best, so it makes sense Activision would want to milk those. I personally really disliked the games developed under Activision before the remaster--Clash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant--for changing the gameplay and character designs so drastically, but more power to you for being able to enjoy at least the former. I thought the humor and voice work was solid, at least. I think the games made by Traveler's Tales--the Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity--were pretty solid, but Crash 2 is my personal favorite!
Is it really that hard, or will the average gamer survive until the end.
I do not like games that take 50 attempts to jump across a platform only to fall down a pit or be hit by a falling rock.
I doubt it'll be an exclusive level for Switch.
It'll be another bonus level released for all versions of the Trilogy, most likely to celebrate the release of the game on different platforms.
Instead of an exclusive level they could has just thrown in an exclusive game, one of the GBA game would had been an awesome addition.
Definitely buying this on Switch!!!!
i am definitely getting this on switch.
Ugh. At this rate, they may as well change this website's name to Nintendo Housewife Gossip.
Day 1 purchase for me, I was a massive Crash nut back in the day.
Just hope it runs well...
