Future Tense

Future Tense is the second DLC level of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It is a part of the remaster of Crash Bandicoot: Warped and, once downloaded, is accessible from a new platform that appears in the Warp Room. It was released on June 29th, 2018, alongside the game's multiplatform release.

Little is currently known about Future Tense except that it is playable from the start of the game, and has the same futuristic aesthetic as Future Frenzy and Gone Tomorrow. It features new environmental elements such as vertical laser beams and sideways conveyor belts, and includes a Bonus Level and a Death Route with a Clear Gem on it. While the main route is completable immediately, the Bonus Level and Death Route are impossible without certain Super Powers.

Enemies & Hazards

 * Plasma Gate - There are two kinds of plasma gates. The blue ones activate the plasma ray for a short time while the orange ones are always on. Unlike in other levels, some of the plasma gates are in motion, making them more difficult to avoid.
 * Shield Robot - Robots that fly back and forth and drop to activate their force fields. Crash must defeat them by spinning or jumping on them while their shield is down.
 * UFO - Miniature spacecraft piloted by lab assistants that act as obstacles. Some use tractor beams to stop Crash. He must jump on these guys to defeat them as they will vaporize him otherwise.
 * Spiked Shell
 * Missile Robot - A giant robot that fires missiles at Crash. Crash must avoid the missiles and then attack the robot with a spin or fruit bazooka shot when its back is turned.
 * Conveyor Belts - A strip of platform that automatically moves Crash. These usually lead to pits, and can even move him to the side.
 * Rotating Platform - A series of rotating platforms
