Argonaut Games has announced a delay in the remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, moving its release date from December 2024 to Q1 2025. This brief postponement aims to enhance the game’s overall quality and polish. For those eagerly anticipating the chance to revisit this nostalgic classic during the holiday season, this news is understandably disappointing; however, the wait is relatively short.
In the words of Argonaut Games, if you’ve been waiting 27 years for a Croc remaster, a few extra weeks shouldn’t pose too much of a hassle. The studio explained, “This decision was not made lightly, but we believe that a little more time is needed to add the final touches to ensure the game meets the high standards that we aspire to and which you deserve.” They acknowledged that the upcoming festive season adds another layer of disappointment but reiterated their commitment to delivering a polished and delightful experience.
Croc’s remaster aims to breathe new life into what was once considered one of the most beloved yet underrated platformers of the 1990s. Players can expect a significant graphical overhaul and refined controls that will make the infamous tank movements feel less cumbersome. Fans will still enjoy the nostalgic sounds and quirky charm of the original.
For newcomers, this remaster offers a splendid opportunity to dive into an adventurous world where players must rescue adorable Gobbos from the clutches of the nefarious Baron Dante. As the anticipation builds, keep an eye out for more updates on the exciting new release in Q1 2025.
