Croc Legend Of The Gobbos is a remaster of the 1997 classic platformer, where you play as a lovable crocodile who embarks on a quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the evil Baron Dante.

Croc Legend Of The Gobbos follows the heartwarming journey of an endearing, humble little crocodile equipped with only his iconic backpack and a wiggly butt as he sets off on his quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the nefarious Baron Dante and his hordes of Dantinis. Croc must platform his way across a series of unique worlds by running, jumping, climbing, swimming, and tail spinning to save the Gobbos from captivity.

With its charm and creativity, the game quickly became a platforming classic.

The game’s charm and creativity made it an instant classic, and the remaster promises to bring the beloved game to a new generation of gamers with enhanced HD graphics, updated modern control mechanics, and a nostalgic, fun, and authentic gameplay experience that will be sure to ignite the imagination of players and remind them why they fell in love with video games in the first place.

One of the most exciting features of the remaster is the inclusion of the Crocipedia, a painstakingly curated digital museum that offers fans a deep dive into the game's development. This treasure trove of long-lost assets includes design documents, concept art, animation tests, pre-release music tracks, and exclusive interviews with key members of the talented team behind the game’s creation.


“The Croc remaster aims to reignite the imaginations of players with its enhanced HD graphics, updated modern controls, and an authentic gameplay experience that will transport players back to the golden age of gaming,” said Jez San, Argonaut Games’ founder.

“Croc Legend of the Gobbos is both a nostalgic return for retro-gamers and an exhilarating new adventure for first-timers. We have dedicated ourselves to bringing this remaster to as wide an audience as possible so that fans of PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC on GOG can experience the magic and enjoyment of Croc," added Jez San.

Gary Sheinwald, Co-CEO of Argonaut Games, expressed his excitement about the future: “I worked closely with Jez on the design and production of Starglider, Argonaut’s first big hit back in 1986, so to take up the mantle of relaunching Argonaut Games nearly four decades later brings me full circle, and we have further exciting announcements in the pipeline in the coming months.”

“We wanted to honor the original game's legacy while introducing it to a new audience,” said Mike Arkin, Argonaut Games Co-CEO. “The HD remaster allows us to do just that. It’s been a labor of love for our team, and we can’t wait to share it with players on all the current consoles and PC later this year.”

Jez San OBE, who originally founded the then-named Argonaut Software Ltd in 1982, expressed his enthusiasm about the revival: “I’m thrilled to see the Argonaut name back after twenty years away. Argonaut was always about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming. I’m excited to see how the relaunched Argonaut Games builds on that legacy, starting with the Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster.”

Baron Dante, the diabolical sorcerer and marauder of Gobbo Valley, proclaimed, “Twenty-seven long years ago, that little green crocodile thwarted my plan to usurp King Rufus and imprison the Gobbos. Thanks to Argonaut Games, I have been given a do-over, and this time I shall prevail!”

For players who enjoy retro gaming experiences, Croc Legend of the Gobbos coming to consoles for the first time in a generation is exciting. For Windows PC gamers, GOG offers unique features that make it an exciting place to experience Croc, and players who purchase Croc on GOG will also receive the classic version of Croc. GOG's commitment to providing DRM-free games means players can enjoy Croc without restrictions, preserving ownership and freedom. Additionally, GOG's ongoing efforts to make games last forever align perfectly with Argonaut Games' values, making it an ideal platform for the beloved Croc to shine again.

“Croc represents the heart of our mission: preserving and celebrating the legacy of gaming. By offering both the classic and the remastered versions in one package and keeping all our games DRM-free, we’re ensuring that players not only relive the magic but have the true sense of ownership, as well. We’re the ultimate destination for gamers who want to experience timeless classics as they were meant to be played, and we couldn’t be happier for Croc to become a part of this adventure,” said Bartosz Kwietniewski, Head of Business Development at GOG.

Croc Legend Of The Gobbos is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5/Pro, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (GOG) in 2024.
