The First Release is a Remaster of the Classic Game “Croc Legend of the Gobbos”
Argonaut Games, the legendary studio founded by gaming icon Jez San OBE and known for bringing its pioneering 3D technology to a 2D gaming world in the 1980s, today announced its triumphant return after a 20-year hiatus.
The company, which became a household name to gamers worldwide by developing groundbreaking titles including classics Starglider, Starglider 2, the seminal Star Fox, and the whimsical Croc Legend of the Gobbos, helped to define the technological foundations of the games industry as we know it today. Argonaut released its last game in 2004 and is now making a grand comeback as a boutique publisher in its own right, with a planned slate of classic Argonaut IP and exciting original titles for both current and retro-gaming platforms.
Beginning with a console and PC remaster of 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 HD 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.
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!”
