PS1 fans rejoice, an all-time classic is being remastered next month

A classic 90s PlayStation game is getting the remaster treatment next month, and it’s landing on almost every single platform on the same date.

Thank you in advance to Eurogamer's Matt Wales for the original source!

Buckle up you young whippersnappers, because I’m about to tell you a proper old man story.

I’m old enough to have actually rented video games from Blockbuster as a kid, and there’s one game that fleeced me out of my hard-earned pocket money on several occasions because I could not best it.

That game is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, a 1997 PlayStation and Sega Saturn title that I absolutely sucked at playing when I was five years old.

Honestly, I don’t even think it’s that the game is hard, I think Croc just controls like a bloody tank and I kept falling into holes as a result.

Anyway, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is back, and its remaster is being released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC (via GOG) on April 2 next month.

This is only possible because Argonaut Games, who originally developed Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, has been revived.

The developer shuttered its doors in 2007, but Jez San brought them back in 2024, and Croc: Legend of the Gobbos’ remaster will be their first official release.

Jez San is actually the fella who originally founded Argonaut Games in the 80s as a teenager, so it’s extremely fitting that he’s the one helming their relaunch.

The devs behind the remaster have promised that it will feature “vibrant high-definition graphics, a modern control and camera system, and refined gameplay mechanics” as well, so I guess I really have no excuse for being terrible at Croc: Legend of the Gobbos this time around.

Here’s hoping I can beat my record and make it past the second level.
