Argonaut Games has announced that a remaster of Croc Legend of the Gobbos will be released on consoles and PC in 2024. To celebrate this announcement, the team shared a teaser trailer that you can find below.
The game features Croc, a lovable crocodile who embarks on a quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the evil Baron Dante. According to the press release, the remaster promises to bring the beloved game to a new generation of gamers with enhanced high-definition graphics, updated modern control mechanics, and a nostalgic, fun, and authentic gameplay experience.
Additionally, the remaster will include the Crocipedia. This is an extensive and meticulously curated digital museum containing long-lost development assets. As such, you will find game design documents, concept art, animation tests, team member interviews, and much more.
Argonaut Games co-CEO Gary Sheinwald said.
“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.”
Argonaut Games co-CEO Mike Arkin also added.
“We wanted to honor the original game’s legacy while introducing it to a new audience. 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.”
Original Argonaut Games founder Jez San concluded.
“I’m thrilled to see the Argonaut name back after 20 years away. Argonaut was always about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming, and I’m excited to see how the relaunched Argonaut Games builds on that legacy, starting with the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster.”
There isn’t currently an exact ETA on when the remaster will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
