“From the outset, our vision has been to release Croc only when we’re happy with it. We are speed-running towards a December 2024 release and are very close to being complete.

About Croc Legend of the Gobbos
Croc Legend of the Gobbos follows the heartwarming journey of an endearing, humble little crocodile equipped with only his iconic backpack and a wiggly butt as he sets off on his quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the nefarious Baron Dante and his hordes of Dantinis. Croc must platform his way across a series of unique worlds by running, jumping, climbing, swimming, and tail spinning to save the Gobbos from captivity.
 
With its charm and creativity, the game quickly became a platforming classic. “The Croc remaster aims to reignite the imaginations of players with its enhanced HD graphics, updated modern controls, and an authentic gameplay experience that will transport players back to the golden age of gaming,” said Jez San, Argonaut Games’ founder.
 
One of the most exciting features of the remaster is the inclusion of the Crocipedia, a painstakingly curated digital museum that offers fans a deep dive into the game's development. This treasure trove of long-lost assets includes design documents, concept art, animation tests, pre-release music tracks, and exclusive interviews with key members of the talented team behind the game’s creation.
 
“Croc Legend of the Gobbos has always held a special place in the hearts of our fans and the history of Argonaut Games," said Jez San. "We are thrilled to bring this beloved classic to modern platforms, allowing both new and returning players to experience the charm and magic of Croc's adventures in a whole new light. Our partnership with Rock It™ Games allows our fans to own collectible physical editions, which celebrates the legacy of Croc and our dedication to delivering quality content to our community.”
Croc Legend of the Gobbos is a beloved classic that has captivated millions of fans around the world for generations,” said Michael Devine, CEO of Rock It Games. “We are honored to offer fans a unique chance to own this iconic legacy title in a special, limited physical edition."
