Overview of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster
- The awaited remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos will not feature a Platinum trophy for PS4 and PS5 players.
- While the game will lack the coveted Platinum, players can still earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold trophies.
- This remaster brings enhanced graphics and a revamped control scheme to meet modern gaming expectations.
The beloved 3D platformer, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, originally launched in 1997, is set to return in a fresh remaster aimed at contemporary gaming audiences. Although it has garnered a dedicated fanbase over the years, the game has been critiqued for its control mechanics. Scheduled for release on April 2, 2025, this new version aspires to improve on past shortcomings while retaining its nostalgic charm.
With the remaster, players can anticipate significant upgrades such as improved graphics and a more intuitive control setup. Fans of the genre are eagerly looking forward to revisiting the vibrant world of Croc. Fortunately, they won’t have to wait much longer, as the game will be available across multiple platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
However, recent reports from PSN Profiles reveal that this remaster will not include a Platinum trophy, which is often seen as a prestigious accomplishment among trophy hunters on PlayStation. The reasons for this omission remain unclear, leading to disappointment among fans who had hoped for the full trophy experience. Factors such as the brief gameplay length (achieving 100% completion in under 10 hours) may have played a role, although other short titles still include Platinum trophies.
