PS1 fans are in for a treat as the cult-classic platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is making its long-awaited return with a remaster set to launch on April 2, 2025. This marks the revival of one of the most beloved yet underrated PlayStation games from 1997, bringing enhanced visuals, modern controls, and nostalgia-packed gameplay to contemporary platforms.
A Nostalgic Comeback for a Cult-Classic
Originally developed by Argonaut Games, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was one of many platformers that thrived during the PlayStation 1 era, standing alongside Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Mega Man Legends. While Croc never reached the same level of fame as its competitors, it remains a cherished memory for many gamers who grew up in the late ’90s. The remaster, which has been in development since 2023, was initially slated for a late 2024 release but faced delays before finally being confirmed for April 2025.
What to Expect From the Remaster
The Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster aims to deliver an authentic yet refreshed experience for both longtime fans and new players. Here’s what the remaster will offer:
- Enhanced HD Graphics – The game’s world has been beautifully recreated with high-definition visuals while maintaining its original charm.
- Modernized Controls & Camera – Smoother controls and an updated camera system make movement and platforming more intuitive than ever.
- Retro Video Modes – For those who want a more nostalgic experience, the game includes retro-style visual settings to replicate the original look.
- Multi-Platform Release – Unlike its original PlayStation-exclusive launch, the remaster will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
A Look Back at Croc’s Adventure
Legend of the Gobbos follows Croc, a young crocodile who embarks on a heroic journey to save his adopted family, the Gobbos, from the villainous Baron Dante and his army of Dantinis. The game features a variety of platforming challenges, puzzle-solving, enemy encounters, and collectible hunting, all wrapped in a whimsical and colorful world.
