In an exciting turn of events, a beloved classic is set to return. The charming and legendary 3D platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is on the verge of revival, capturing the hearts of both old fans and newcomers alike.
Developer Argonaut Games has officially announced the resurrection and remastering of this cherished title, with plans for its release on both PC and various consoles. For those who have been following the timeline, it is worth noting that this revival comes exactly 20 years after the company’s previous closure in 2004, marking a significant milestone for Argonaut Games alongside Croc's return.
New co-CEOs Gary Sheinwald and Mike Arkin envision Argonaut as a boutique publisher. Although he's not actively part of the new developments, original founder Jez San has generously expressed support for the new leadership. He conveyed his enthusiasm about the direction the relaunched Argonaut Games is taking and how they plan to honor the company’s innovative legacy, starting with the much-anticipated remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.
The upcoming remaster promises to deliver improved visuals and modernized controls while faithfully preserving the essence of the original game. Though an official launch date remains unconfirmed, enthusiasts can anticipate the remastered edition of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos debuting later this year. It is expected to be accessible on modern consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and potentially on the Nintendo Switch. Keep an eye out for future announcements and specifics!
