Argonaut Games has confirmed a full remaster of Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos for Nintendo Switch, with a digital release scheduled for Q4 2026 on the Nintendo eShop.
The announcement follows last year’s remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and the developer’s public suggestion that a successful relaunch could lead to a sequel remaster.
Background and release details
Argonaut’s newly announced Croc 2 remaster will arrive exclusively as a digital release for Nintendo Switch in Q4 2026.
The studio says the project builds on the technical and design groundwork laid by the previous Croc remaster, delivering enhanced visuals and a number of modern quality-of-life improvements aimed at contemporary players on Nintendo Switch.
Key features and content
- Updated presentation: The remaster features enhanced visuals across environments and character models tailored for the Switch hardware.
- Expanded moveset: Croc gains a triple jump to access higher platforms and secrets across the game’s levels.
- Level count: The remastered package preserves the original’s scope, offering 40 distinct levels.
- Croc2pedia: The behind-the-scenes digital museum returns under the new name Croc2pedia, compiling original development materials such as cut content and interviews from the project’s archives.
Developer summary (rewritten)
Argonaut describes Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos as a continuation of Croc’s journey to the mainland to search for his long-lost parents, only for the quest to escalate when the villain Baron Dante is resurrected and seeks revenge.
Croc’s adventure takes him through four unique villages, where he frees captured Gobbos and confronts a series of Guardians, including Soveena the Squid, a boss character noted for her fixation on ginger soda.
Context for Nintendo fans
The original Croc 2 was released in the late 1990s on platforms including PlayStation and Windows; the series’ return to Nintendo Switch comes amid a broader trend of classic 3D platformers being refreshed for modern hardware and distributed digitally via the Nintendo eShop.
Notably, the prior Croc remaster landed on Switch the same day the industry was focused on a Nintendo Direct revealing the Switch 2, a scheduling coincidence observers referenced during last year’s launch.
What’s next
Argonaut has set Q4 2026 as the target window for the Croc 2 remaster on Nintendo Switch.
The studio has shared core features and archival content for Croc fans, with further technical and distribution details expected closer to the release window through official Argonaut and Nintendo channels.
