British developer, Argonaut Games, are back apparently, and to celebrate they’ve announced a remaster of classic 90’s platformer, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.

The game, which originally released as a launch title on the first PlayStation back in 1997, will be released on “current consoles” and PC (so presumably Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles).

Just out the announcement teaser trailer below:

In the game, Croc embarks on a quest to rescue the Gobbos from the evil Baron Dante! The remaster is expected to feature enhanced HD graphics and modern control mechanics (a given, sure, but it’s always welcome to have that confirmed).

Speaking about their return, Argonaut Games said:

"We wanted to honor the original game’s legacy while introducing it to a new audience," said Mike Arkin, Argonaut Games Co-CEO. "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."

Jez San OBE, who originally founded the then-named Argonaut Software Ltd in 1982, expressed his enthusiasm about the revival: "I'm thrilled to see the Argonaut name back after twenty years away. Argonaut was always about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in gaming. I'm excited to see how the relaunched Argonaut Games builds on that legacy, starting with the Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster."

Baron Dante, the diabolical sorcerer and marauder of Gobbo Valley, proclaimed, "Twenty-seven long years ago, that little green crocodile thwarted my plan to usurp King Rufus and imprison the Gobbos. Thanks to Argonaut Games, I have been given a do-over, and this time I shall prevail!"

I never got to play the original Croc, or its sequel for that matter, so I will definitely given this a go whenever it releases (no news on that front I’m afraid).

Are you excited to see the return of Croc and Argonaut Games?
