Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is poised for a triumphant comeback this year with a fully revamped HD remaster, marking a nostalgic return for fans of the classic 1997 3D platformer.
Developed originally by Argonaut Games, the franchise quickly became a beloved entry in the platforming genre, captivating players with its quirky characters and inventive level design.
Now, as anticipation builds for the remastered release across modern platforms, Argonaut Games is partnering with Rock It Games to deliver another treat for the fanbase: the official Gobbo plush.
Standing at five inches tall, the new Gobbo plush is set to become the must-have collectible for both long-time followers and newcomers to the Croc universe.
Described on its product page as "soooo furry and soooo cute," the plush captures the charming spirit of the Gobbo characters, who remain central to the game's narrative and appeal.
According to the listing, buyers are encouraged to "protect your Gobbo from Baron Dante," a playful nod to the series' infamous antagonist and a testament to the enduring affectionate humor of the Croc franchise.
The Gobbo plush is currently scheduled for a release window in the second quarter of 2025, meaning eager fans will need to wait past this holiday season before they can get their hands on it.
While this means the collectible won't be available for Christmas gifting, it does provide fans with something to anticipate as the HD remaster's momentum carries into the new year.
This collaborative effort marks a significant step for Argonaut Games, whose legacy has endured across decades and hardware generations, and Rock It Games, recognized for their high-quality gaming merchandise.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos originally made its debut on platforms including PlayStation and Sega Saturn, and its upcoming HD remaster is expected to launch on modern consoles and PCs, including the Nintendo Switch.
The announcement of the Gobbo plush typifies the growing trend of game developers extending their reach into official merchandise, deepening fan engagement and offering new tangible connections to iconic properties.
With the remastered Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and the official Gobbo plush both on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for fans of both classic and contemporary platformers.
Players can look forward to reliving Croc's adventures in high-definition and bringing home a cuddly reminder of the Gobbo’s enduring charm.
