videogameschronicle.comArgonaut Games has been revived, and has announced a remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which will be released later this year.
The game will come to console and PC in 2024, but no specific date has been shared.
“I worked closely with [Argonaut founder] Jez [San] on the design and production of Starglider, Argonaut’s first big hit back in 1986,” said Argonaut Games co-CEO Gary Sheinwald.
“So to take up the mantle of relaunching Argonaut Games nearly four decades later brings me full circle, and we have further exciting announcements in the pipeline in the coming months.”
Further Argonaut Games titles are also planned for a revival, but these have yet to be formally announced.
“Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Argonaut’s 1997 multi-million-selling hit, features Croc, a lovable crocodile who embarks on a quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the evil Baron Dante,” reads a press release.
“The game’s charm and creativity made it an instant classic, and the remaster promises to bring the beloved game to a new generation of gamers with enhanced high-definition graphics, updated modern control mechanics, and a nostalgic, fun, and authentic gameplay experience that will be sure to ignite the imagination of players and remind them why they fell in love with video games in the first place.
“Additionally, retro-gaming fans will be excited to learn that the remaster includes the Crocipedia, an extensive and meticulously curated digital museum containing long-lost development assets such as game design documents, concept art, animation tests, team member interviews, and much more.”
