Croc Remaster on PS5 Comes With a Catch

The upcoming remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos will not have a Platinum trophy when it releases for PS5. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is a 3D platformer that was originally released in 1997. The game has become a cult favorite among platforming fans, though there are many who don’t like the controls. Now, in 2025, Croc is making a comeback through a brand-new remaster.

The Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster will feature a new control scheme, spruced-up visuals, and other bells and whistles to help it meet modern standards. Fans of classic 3D platformers are excited to get their hands on the title, and luckily, the wait is nearly at an end. The Croc remaster is scheduled to release on Wednesday, April 2, and when it releases it will be available for all major platforms. That means fans can play the Croc remaster across PC, Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. However, it’s come to light that the PlayStation version of the game comes with a slight drawback.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos – Official Release Date Trailer

Don’t miss the official release date trailer for the remaster of the classic platforming game Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.

It’s been confirmed by PSN Profiles that Croc: Legends of the Gobbos will not have a Platinum trophy when it releases on PS4 and PS5 this coming Wednesday, April 2. It’s unclear exactly why that it is, but it’s disappointing news, to say the least. It’s possible that part of the reason is how short Croc is (100% completion is easily obtainable in less than 10 hours), but there are other short games with Platinum trophies.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Trophy List

Bronze Trophies

• Bonus Level – Unlock the first Bonus Level
• Crystal Clear – Collect 500 crystals
• Feeble Excused – Defeat Tooty the Feeble
• Gettin’ Flibby Wit It – Defeat Flibby
• Give Peas A Chance – Complet 5 levels without defeating an enemy

This may be disappointing news, but for fans of classic 3D platformers, it’s unlikely to be a deal-breaker. 3D platformer fans have been looking forward to the Croc remaster for months, with many disappointed when the game was delayed from December 2024 to its new date of April 2. The good news is that the wait is nearly at an end, and so nostalgic fans will soon have the chance to revisit Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.

If Croc: Legend of the Gobbos sells well enough, one has to imagine that a remaster of the sequel is on the table. A Croc 2 remaster would mean that nearly the entire franchise would be playable on modern hardware, minus the Croc Game Boy Color games, which remain exclusive to the handheld. Those interested in picking up the remaster should note that there’s a Croc Collector’s Edition available as well.

In the meantime, fans of classic 3D platformers will also want to keep an eye on this summer. The Gex Trilogy is set to launch in coming months, giving fans the chance to replay the original side-scroller as well as its 3D platformer sequels.
