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.

Argonaut Games is delighted to announce that the remaster of  Croc Legend of the Gobbos is coming December 2024 to Nintendo Switch, PS5 (Pro compatibility), PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series XS, and PCs as an exclusive on GOG.

“From the outset, our vision has been to release Croc only when we’re happy with it. We are speed-running towards a December 2024 release and are very close to being complete. However, if we need to add a little more polish, we won’t hesitate to do so. After waiting 27 years, we trust that our dedicated fans can wait a few weeks longer,” said Jez San, founder of Argonaut Games.
