New PS1 Remaster Gets Delayed Right Before Launch

As a seasoned gamer with memories of the golden age of PlayStation 1 etched deep within my gaming soul, I must admit, the delay of the remastered version of “Croc: Legend of the Gobbos” has left me with a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, it’s a testament to the developers’ commitment to quality that they want to make this nostalgic gem shine brighter than ever before. On the other, as I gaze upon my aging PS1 console, I can’t help but wonder if it’s still capable of running the game when 2025 finally rolls around!

The eagerly awaited remake of a PS1 game from 1997, which was about to hit the shelves, had its release date postponed almost at launch time. In 1997, the PS1 witnessed the arrival of games like Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Crash Bandicoot 2, Armored Core, Gran Turismo, and Grand Theft Auto. However, it wasn’t any of these classic titles that were slated for a modern-hardware remaster; instead, we now find ourselves waiting until 2025 for the return of a popular PS1 platformer.

According to a recent statement from Argonaut Games, the anticipated remastered version of “Cros: Legend of the Gobbos” has been postponed to the first quarter of next year, previously scheduled for release this month on multiple platforms including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The delay is aimed at enhancing the quality of the remastered “Croc” game before it reaches players’ hands.

After thorough thought, we’ve chosen to postpone the launch until Q1 2025, according to a recent announcement. This decision wasn’t taken lightly; we want to give ourselves some extra time to perfect every detail and uphold the exceptional quality we aim for and that you rightfully expect. We acknowledge that this delay might be disheartening, especially with the holidays approaching. Nevertheless, our ultimate goal has always been to create a game that surpasses expectations. We value your patience and backing as we strive to bring Croc back in an outstanding manner.

It may be disheartening for some that the remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos has been postponed again, but there’s no shortage of other fantastic PlayStation games to keep you entertained throughout December. In fact, a renowned trilogy from the PS2 is coming back on both PS5 and PS4 this month, leaving many enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its arrival.
