Croc Legend of the Gobbos Platinum Edition

Argonaut Games announced Croc Legend of the Gobbos Platinum Edition, which is available now for PC via Steam with new content, trophies/achievements, and much more. Croc Legend of the Gobbos Platinum Edition launches on October 16 as a free update/upgrade for for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and GOG.

Get the full details below:

So why the new name? Great question! 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. And it’s not permitted to simply fix this with a patch. So we had to come up with a smarter solution: release a new version of the game with a comprehensive trophy set, including 16 new Trophies and the highly coveted Platinum Trophy.

And since we had our sleeves rolled up working on the Trophies, we decided to go all-in and add the equivalent 16 new Achievements to the Xbox and PC platforms, and also bring all the Achievements to the Switch as well, with its own in-game Achievement tracking screen!

But this isn’t just about trophies. Croc Legend of the Gobbos Platinum Edition includes:

      • A new time trial gameplay mode called Time Attack
      • 25+ new additions to the Crocipedia.
      • The ability to toggle between different Croc Main Theme mixes in the main menu. 
      • A bunch of bug fixes were squashed. Ker-Splat!
      • A handful of quality-of-life features and improvements.

Here’s how it’ll roll out:

      • Switch, Xbox One, Series X|S, and GOG (PC) players will receive this update as standard.
      • Steam (PC) players will be able to purchase the Platinum Edition of Croc for the first time
      • PlayStation 5 & PlayStation 4 players will see it as a new edition of the game, which they can download and play separately.
