Argonaut Games, the storied British game studio known for iconic titles like Star Fox, Starglider, and Croc, has provided an update on its 2025 roadmap, acknowledging delays in the physical release of the recent Croc remaster.
The studio, first established in 1982 by Jez San and recently revived in 2024, used this statement to outline not only its goals for the coming year but also several key industry milestones on the horizon. According to Argonaut, fans can expect a series of “exciting announcements” set to roll out in the upcoming months, with at least one major reveal scheduled for the near future.
These announcements are anticipated to further leverage the studio’s notable legacy on platforms such as the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and PC. In 2026, Argonaut Games will mark important anniversaries for several classic titles, including the 40th anniversary of Starglider, the 30th anniversary of FX Fighter Turbo, and the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
These milestones not only underline Argonaut’s longstanding influence in the gaming scene but also set the stage for potential celebratory releases and events. The studio’s statement directly addressed the current delay surrounding the shipping of Croc’s physical editions, which are being published by Rock It Games.
Argonaut detailed that the shipping setback resulted from a combination of issues affecting the production of physical materials, as well as a strategic decision to synchronize the manufacturing of updated Platinum Edition discs and cartridges.
This process required an unexpected resubmission for platform approvals at both Sony and Nintendo, resulting in further delays.
Argonaut acknowledged responsibility for these challenges and extended a formal apology to affected customers. "We fully recognize that the physical editions of Croc, handled by Rock It Games, did not meet their intended shipping timeline," a company spokesperson conveyed in the statement.
"This is due to several interconnected factors, including manufacturing delays for physical items and the decision to hold production on the updated Platinum Edition.
This caused additional approval and resubmission time for both the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch versions, for which we sincerely apologize." Argonaut Games also shared that its team has taken a more active role in expediting delivery by designing the Certificate of Authenticity and contributing to the writing of instruction manuals.
Rock It Games, the publisher managing the physical release, has pledged to improve communications with customers going forward, with Argonaut stating it will be monitoring these efforts closely to ensure transparency and support until all orders are fulfilled. As Argonaut Games continues to build on its revitalization in the modern gaming landscape, fans of its classic franchises and recent remasters can look forward to renewed engagement and ongoing updates.
For gamers eager to secure their physical edition of Croc or catch upcoming announcements, the studio promises improved communication and a strong focus on customer satisfaction.
