Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster gets a PC and console release date



Fans of developer Argonaut’s warmly remembered 3D platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos are in for a blast of nostalgia; after a bit of a delay, its previously announced remaster has been given a release date, and is launching for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch on 2nd April.


Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, for the uninitiated (or young), launched for the original PlayStation in 1997, taking players – in the guise of the titular crocodile – on a journey through Gobbo Valley in a bid to free their friends from the evil magician Baron Dante. The resulting adventure wasn’t exactly a classic of the genre, but it certainly had fans.


And now, Argonaut – which was resurrected last year, 20 years after its original closure – is revisiting Croc’s first outing with a nostalgia-tweaking update. It promises “vibrant high-definition graphics, a modern control and camera system, and refined gameplay mechanics” as players venture across “beautifully recrafted” levels.

That’s alongside the addition of a Crocipedia – a “painstakingly curated” digital museum charting the original game’s development through design documents, concept art, animation tests, pre-release music tracks, and interviews with developers past and present.


If all that’s filled you with the giddy warmth of memories past, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos launches digitally for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC via GOG on 2nd April, where it’ll cost $29.99 USD.
