The highly anticipated remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is set to make waves in the gaming community, with its PC version exclusively available on GOG. Gamers can currently add the title to their wishlists, as the release is scheduled for later this year. In a delightful twist, GOG has announced that purchasing the remaster will also grant players access to the original 1997 version of the game, seamlessly integrated into their libraries.
Reviving a Classic
In August, the revival of Argonaut Games, the original developer behind Croc, was unveiled, marking the beginning of a series of beloved titles set to return to the gaming landscape. The remaster promises to enhance the gaming experience with features such as:
- Enhanced HD graphics
- Modern controls, with an option to retain the original tank controls
- An updated camera system
- Retro video modes for those who cherish nostalgia
Jez San, founder of Argonaut, expressed his vision for the remaster, stating, “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.” He emphasized that the remaster serves as both a nostalgic journey for seasoned gamers and an exciting adventure for newcomers.
A Commitment to Legacy
Bartosz Kwietniewski, GOG’s head of business development, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of preserving gaming history. “Croc represents the heart of our mission – preserving and celebrating the legacy of gaming,” he noted. By offering both the classic and remastered versions in one package while maintaining a DRM-free environment, GOG ensures that players not only relive the magic but also enjoy a genuine sense of ownership.
In addition to the PC version on GOG, the remaster of Croc will also be available on various platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, broadening its reach to a diverse audience of gaming enthusiasts.
