Argonaut Games has officially announced the release date for the much-anticipated Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster. The game will launch on April 2, 2025, with wishlists now open for PC on GOG.com, while digital storefronts for Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox will follow soon.
This classic 3D platformer, originally released in the late ’90s, is making a grand comeback with a host of modern improvements while retaining the charm that made it a fan favourite. Players will once again step into the shoes or rather, the scaly feet of Croc, the lovable little reptile with a backpack, as he embarks on a mission to rescue his adopted family of Gobbos from the villainous Baron Dante and his mischievous Dantini minions.
