A hit of nostalgia

Update: This has now officially been confirmed for Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One, and we’ve got a new trailer to celebrate! The latest press release makes no mention of “this year” though, so perhaps we’re looking at a 2025 launch.

“In development for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®5 Pro, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Windows PCs as an exclusive on GOG, it is gearing up to captivate a new generation of gamers along with its countless original fans.”

Original story: Who’d have thought we’d ever see the PlayStation game Croc: Legend of the Gobbos on Xbox?! Well, that’s apparently what’s happening later this year, as a remaster has been announced for “all the current consoles”.

If you’ve never heard of it before, this is a 3D platformer from 1997 that proved a huge success for developer Argonaut Games, going on to spawn a sequel in 1999. The new remaster will feature enhanced HD graphics, updated controls and an extensive museum packed with things like interviews and game design documents.

We’re still waiting on a release date and confirmed platforms for Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, but “all the current consoles” suggests to us that we’re looking at Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S along with maybe Xbox One as well.

“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. 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.”
