Argonaut Games has set a firm release date for the long-awaited remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, confirming the title will launch on April 2, 2025 across multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch.
The announcement positions the remaster as the first opportunity for Nintendo players to experience Croc in full 3D on Nintendo hardware — notable because the original Game Boy Color ports of the franchise were 2D adaptations rather than the 3D platforming of the original console releases.
Background and platform history
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was originally developed by Argonaut and released in the late 1990s on home consoles.
While the Game Boy Color received 2D versions of both Croc games, the original PlayStation-era titles featured 3D platforming that the remaster aims to restore for modern systems.
The new version is confirmed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Release date and editions
In a statement accompanying today’s announcement, Argonaut Games said the remaster is scheduled to arrive on April 2, 2025 for all listed platforms.
The studio also confirmed that physical editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 are slated to arrive during Q2 2025.
A new trailer was released alongside the date announcement to showcase updated visuals and platform availability.
What this means for Nintendo fans
Because the Game Boy Color entries were 2D, this remaster represents the first officially released 3D Croc experience on Nintendo hardware.
Fans who follow Nintendo Direct coverage or scan the Nintendo eShop for upcoming releases should see listings and further updates as the launch window approaches.
Looking ahead
Argonaut’s confirmation sets a clear timetable for the remaster’s rollout across major platforms and secures physical retail dates for Switch and PS5 collectors in Q2 2025.
For further details, players should monitor Argonaut Games’ official channels and platform storefronts for pre-order information, trailer breakdowns, and patch notes leading up to April 2, 2025.
