A significant update is heading to Argonaut Games’ critically acclaimed Croc remaster,officially titled Croc: Legend of the Gobbos: Platinum Edition. The free update, slated for release on October 16, 2025, across all console versions – including the Nintendo Switch – aims to deliver what developers are calling the “best possible Croc gaming experience.”
Addressing the Platinum Trophy Challenge
The impetus for this notable update stems from a technical limitation on the PlayStation platform. According to a company release, the initial remaster did not include a sufficient number of trophies to qualify for the coveted Platinum trophy. “When we initially launched the Croc Legend of the gobbos remaster, we didn’t include enough trophies to qualify for the Platinum trophy on PlayStation,” a senior official stated. “And it’s not permitted to simply fix this with a patch.”
To circumvent this restriction, Argonaut Games opted to release a new version of the game, complete with a complete trophy set. This includes 16 brand-new trophies, alongside the highly sought-after Platinum Trophy. Importantly,these achievements will also be available to Switch players,accompanied by a new “in-game Achievement tracking screen.”
What’s Included in the Platinum Edition?
beyond the trophy additions, the Platinum Edition boasts a wealth of new content and improvements. Players can look forward to:
- A brand-new Time Attack mode for competitive speedrunning.
- Over 25 additions to the in-game Crocipedia, expanding the lore and world-building.
- The ability to seamlessly switch between different mixes of the iconic Croc Main Theme in the main menu.
- Numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements to refine the gameplay experience.
