Croc is Getting a Remaster!

The cherished classic, "Croc," is returning with a remastered edition set to release in just two weeks. Prepare for a wave of nostalgia!

In the ever-evolving landscape of video games, certain titles stand as timeless pillars of our gaming heritage. One such gem, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, originally released in 1997, (although it doesn't stand out like a game such as Crash Bandicoot or Spiro the Dragon), is poised to make a triumphant return. Argonaut Games has officially announced that the remastered edition of this beloved platformer will be available digitally in two weeks on April 2, 2025, across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via GOG. 

Enhanced Visuals and Modernized Gameplay

The remaster promises to deliver more than just a visual overhaul. Players can anticipate fully remastered HD graphics that breathe new life into the vibrant worlds of the Gobbo Archipelago. Additionally, the game features updated control schemes, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay that aligns with contemporary platforming standards. 

Introducing the ‘Crocipedia’

For enthusiasts and newcomers alike, the remaster includes the ‘Crocipedia,’ a digital museum offering an in-depth look into the game’s development. This feature showcases design documents, concept art, animation tests, pre-release music tracks, and interviews with developers, providing a comprehensive behind-the-scenes experience. 

Physical Editions and Collector’s Items

In collaboration with Rock It Games, Argonaut Games has announced physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, slated for release in the second quarter of 2025. While specific details about the collector’s edition contents remain under wraps, fans can expect exclusive memorabilia celebrating Croc’s legacy. 

Future Prospects

The excitement doesn’t end with this remaster. Argonaut Games has hinted that successful reception could pave the way for remastered versions of Croc 2 and potentially an entirely new installment in the series! (WOW!) This prospect offers fans the possibility of continuing Croc’s adventures well into the future. 

Conclusion

The impending release of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remastered not only rekindles fond memories for veteran gamers but also introduces a classic platformer to a new generation. With enhanced visuals, refined controls, and a wealth of bonus content, this remaster is set to honor the original while providing a fresh and engaging experience. Mark your calendars for April 2, 2025, and prepare to embark on a nostalgic journey through the Gobbo Archipelago.
