I notice there is no Keymapping in the Game yet. Usually Key Mapping/Change Keybinding Controls, would usually be in mostly in any game, to configure what suits best for you.

Hope to see an update in order to do that.

Indeed. The Classic version does have it so in this aspect the remaster is a downgrade. I always played Croc on PC and not having the option to play with the keyboard controls I'm used to is very strange.

Oh no :/
I thought this would be something only Ubisoft is capable of - to downgrade an original in such ways like they've done with the Beyond Good & Evil-Remaster.

I really don't get it. It's a PC game. There was a understanding that this is the bare minimum for accessibility features, even before the term "accessibility features" was invented as a marketing term. Even N64-Ports like Turok 2 had it.
Why going backwards in 2025?

Please, dear developer, fix this.

(edit)
I'll buy it when it's playable for me.

I hope they will fix it really fast. I wanted to change tthe controls and I can't. Crazy...

It's actually even worse. Even if you try soldiering on with the default keyboard controls, you'll find that trying to play with a keyboard will force you to use the old Tank Controls movement. By contrast, gamepad gives you a vastly better style of movement.

I am baffled how no one thought this would be an issue.

My classic version has Audio, Display, and Credits but no keybinding option. Where is it in the classic version?

Exactly !!! It's really hard to play it for me because I still remember old keybinded movement. I have to wait another weeks to start playing and have full joy from it. :( I hope they will fix it.

I admit I found it also weird that in year 2025 someone forgets to add keybind change option to game :D. But its a platformer game and devs who make platformers never use keyboards anyway only as a kink habit.

I installed microsoft power toys -> keyboard manager and remapped hotkeys manually, if you have windows 10/11 and you want to play it now you can do it as well (I guess linux will have tons of other similar options). Just remember to turn it off when you turn off the game.

I also got surprised to open the game back in the launch date and not finding a keyboard custom mapping option in-game, especially how this was perfectly doable in the 1997 release. Hopefully they'll really consider making it possible through a future patch.

However, thanks to some other Croc fans (Paul and Ray) I was shared a solution that worked out for me to remap the keyboard the way I always felt comfortable to play the game in its original form.

First, what you need to do it's to locate your Croc Remaster folder hidden in the User's AppData:

Windows' Hard Drive > Users > (Username) > AppData > Roaming > CrocRemaster

You'll find a file named config.ini. You can both open it with Windows' Notepad or the open-source Notepad++.

Right under the "LogLevel=2" line, paste this text:

[Input]
MoveForwards=KEY_UP
MoveBackwards=KEY_DOWN
RotateLeft=KEY_LEFT
RotateRight=KEY_RIGHT
SidestepLeft=KEY_A
SidestepRight=KEY_S
TailSwipe=KEY_SPACE
Jump=KEY_X
ChangeDirection=KEY_Z
CameraControl=KEY_Q
CameraUp=KEY_W
CameraDown=KEY_E
Start=KEY_ENTER
Select=KEY_ESCAPE

You can change the keys to the ones you want before saving the file. Just make sure that after saving you right-click the config.ini file and checkmark as "Read Only" as I was warned without that on the game might alter these extra lines if the native options are tweaked.

Hoping it helps while there's no native way to do it. :)
