Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster announced for modern consoles and PC
After a 20-year hiatus, beloved video game studio Argonaut Games is back, and they’re bringing an old friend with them.
Announced today, Croc Legend of the Gobbos is getting remastered for modern consoles and PC. Originally released in 1997, the game became one of Argonaut Games’ biggest hits with three million copies sold on the PlayStation. The game’s success led to the release of Croc 2 in 1999. The remaster of Croc Legend of the Gobbos will also include the Crocipedia, which is “an extensive and meticulously curated digital museum containing long-lost development assets such as game design documents, concept art, animation tests, team member interviews, and much more.”
Mike Arkin, Argonaut Games Co-CEO said this about bringing the game to a newer audience:
“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.”
Gary Sheinwald, Co-CEO of Argonaut Games said this about the studio’s return:
“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.”
The remaster’s official release date will drop soon. A teaser trailer for the game can be seen here.
