Having previously been confirmed for PS5 and PS4 back in October, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos won't be releasing before the year is out.
The remaster was targeting a vague '2024' window, but developer Argonaut Games has decided to delay the game into early 2025.
"This decision was not made lightly," the studio writes in an official statement. "We believe that a little more time is needed to add the final touches to ensure the game meets the high standards that we aspire to and which you deserve."
It continues: "We understand that after 27 years of waiting, this news might be a little disappointing, especially with the festive season coming soon [...] We appreciate your patience and support as we work to bring Croc back in the best possible way."
Hey, we'd much rather have a delay than a wonky remaster of what many consider to be a PS1 classic. Here's hoping that the team smooths everything out over the next few weeks (and possibly months).
Were you looking forward to playing the Croc remaster this year? Tell those Gobbos to stay caged in the comments section below.

Well what a croc
Seen as I picked up this little beauty today, I may just go get the original Croc until the remake comes out
Glad they are delaying it to make the remaster better.
Rather they took their time with it, will be a day one for me when it’s out though.
Hopefully the Hogs of War remaster is out next year as well
I mean giving the lack of release date i assumed 2025 anyway.
@Loamy Yeah i played them all of the time as well. In fact Croc was my childhood platformer of choice.
I really want to play this again. I remember loving it as a kid and virtually nothing else about the game so definitely picking it up.
@carlos82 Looks it pretty decent condition. How much was it?
@AdamNovice £60, I wasn't even intending to buy one but there isn't a mark on it and looks like it's barely been used, so it seems like I'll now be collecting for the PS2 for the time being
Good I have too many games to get ATM and I want this one and for it to do well hopefully I can release in a less crowded spot ^__^
Id rather them delay it and release it in a good state than rush it out of the door unpolished
Not mad at all, plus with Soul Reaver Remasters dropping in two days I have something to keep me entertained for the rest of 2024
Sounds like the right decision. Much better to have a delay than a mess of a game released.
I'll get it in 2025 28 years after having 1st seen the original. Makes me feel old 🤣
@Majin_Deicide I pre-ordered Soul Reaver yesterday. Should start downloading tomorrow ready for me to start it on my lunch break on Tuesday.
Can't wait. The original blew me away on PS1 and Dreamcast.
At the time it was head and shoulders above any game I'd come across for voice acting. The story was brilliant too.
"Last-Minute Delay into 2025 on PS5, PS4"
Why would you put this? The game is delayed to 2025, not just the PS4/PS5 release.
Watch it release broken as games in this position usually do.
Thought it was weird that they’d said it would release in December and we got to December and still didn’t have a release date, so this isn’t a big surprise.
@Eduard_Brenton
They said it would be released in December but if the remaster still needs to be worked on they’d delay it
@Majin_Deicide
Two days now, it was three days yesterday.
I’ll probably be getting the Soul Reaver remasters after Christmas not sure what my money will be like after buying rest of Christmas presents I still need to get sorted
@Dragoon1994 oh I see 👍
@AdamNovice
I’ve had my chunky PS2 since forever and is still in great condition
