Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, the remastered version of the classic PlayStation platformer, is indeed getting a physical release, but it won't be available for Xbox consoles. Here are the key details:
1. Physical Release Platforms:
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch
2. Release Window:
The game is currently on track for a December 2024 release. However, the developers at Argonaut Games have stated that they're willing to push the launch into early 2025 if more polish is needed.
3. Pricing:
- Physical Edition: $39.99
- Digital Edition: $29.99
4. Pre-order Information:
Pre-orders for physical copies are open until December 10, 2024.
5. Collector's Edition:
A collector's edition is also available, which includes:
- Physical copy of the game
- 8-inch resin statue of Croc with a Gobbo
- Four-disc soundtrack
- Croc keychain
- Sticker sheet
- Poster
6. Xbox Version:
While the game is coming to Xbox platforms, it will only be available digitally. The physical release is exclusive to PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
7. Developer's Commitment:
Argonaut Games, the original creators of Croc, have risen from the ashes to work on this remaster. They're committed to delivering a quality product, even if it means a slight delay.
It's worth noting that the lack of a physical Xbox version might be related to the high percentage of digital game sales on Xbox platforms. However, for Xbox fans looking forward to revisiting this classic, the game will still be available digitally on Xbox One and Series X|S.
