Developer Argonaut Games has risen from the ashes, and the first game on its agenda is a remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. The project (and developer's return) was announced back in August, and now we finally have confirmation of platforms — including both PS5 and PS4.
The news comes via the above new trailer, which features a bunch of fresh gameplay footage from the remaster. The cult classic PS1 platformer's revival is still on course for release in 2024, though there's no firm date in place yet.
In addition to enhanced visuals and performance, the Croc remaster includes some neat new features. It includes modern-style controls to allow for a smoother experience, though tank control die-hards can still opt for that if they choose.
On top of that are numerous visual filters to mess around with, and the Crocipedia — a robust "digital museum" providing lots of insight into the making of Croc. It's set to include "design documents, concept art, animation tests, pre-release music tracks, and exclusive interviews".
Again, there's no date in place yet, but there also isn't much of 2024 left, so the game is seemingly right around the corner.

Croc was one of my favourite childhood games I love it so much I can't wait for this to come out ^__^
Only played it at a friend's house back in a day, never managed to get a copy myself. Totally will get this one, I love 3D platformers and there are too few of them now.
Getting this and the new Yooka Laylee.
On PS4 too. Disappointing. Not going to be anything special on PS5 then.
YAAAAY...!!! 😃😃😃
I will get the PS5 version.
@riceNpea It's a remaster of a ps1 game. I wouldn't have sky-high expectations graphically anyway. It's more of a nostalgia trip and updated controls than anything (Which I literally can't wait for)
Can't wait to play this as i adored the series as a child.
Never heard of it but it looks like a poor man's Spyro. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm bummed that it's not a Croc: 1+2 remaster, I never did play the 2nd game.
I remember owning it on PS1 but can't honestly say I remember that much about it.
Looks pretty cool anyway so definitely interested.
You can never have too many decent 3D platformers
Not everyone is into 1st person shooters or massive open world games, so there's definitely a market for these types of games and Playstation doesn't currently have enough of them IMO (on PS5 at least)
@GreatAuk Croc came out a year before Spyro and they're not a like at all Spyro is big and open and Croc's levels are more straightforward akin to something like Crash
Now if we can get Blasto my PS1 platformers will be complete.
So very excited for this, the HD remaster looks absolutely fantastic and so faithful the original. Everything looks great.
An instant day one for me for the PS5, hope it’s very successful so they can do a HD remaster of Croc 2 next
My heart will stopped if they remaster Gex like this!
@Oram77 The Gex trilogy is getting a remaster, though, through LimitedRunGame's Carbon Engine, I believe.
@Stevemalkpus I want to see a modern remaster of Pandemonium! from the PS1.
@MasterVGuides Pandemonium! amazed me n my brother back in 1996. Looked amazing. Still can picture that bit jumping up the water melon looking things on the 1st level
Even though I played so many better 3D platformers in the late 90s Croc holds so much nostalgia for me. To be fair it wasn't amazing really but I still wanna play it again.
Hope they have a graphic filert option as this remake looks over smoothed and has lost that PS1 visual charm
÷1 for Pandemonium, great games oh and still waiting on ray traced pepsi man remaster.
