90s Nostalgia Delayed: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster Pushed to Q1 2025

Get ready to unleash your inner 90s kid, but don’t expect a retro blast this year. Argonaut Games has just announced that their highly-anticipated Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster, previously set to drop in 2024, has been delayed until Q1 2025.

A Blast from the Past

Originally released in 1997 for the PlayStation 1, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is a 3D platformer that takes you on a thrilling adventure as the titular reptile, Croc, as you explore Gobbo Valley to rescue your friends from the clutches of the evil magician, Baron Dante. It’s a game that has left a lasting impact on many of us who grew up in the 90s.

A New Beginning

In August, Argonaut Games announced their resurrection from the ashes, with new co-CEOs Gary Sheinwald and Mike Arkin at the helm. The studio has been working on remastering their classic 3D platformer, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, to bring it back to life with enhanced HD graphics, updated control mechanics, and a nostalgic, fun, and authentic gaming experience.

A Delay Worth the Wait

The delay is disheartening, but trust the developers to deliver a game that meets their high standards. “We understand that after 27 years of waiting, this news might be a little disappointing, especially with the festive season coming soon. However, our goal has always been to deliver a game with the quality and polish that will truly delight. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to bring Croc back in the best possible way.”

* Enhanced high-definition graphics
