The PC version of the Croc remaster is exclusive to GOG, will come with the original version

The PC version of the upcoming remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos will be exclusive to GOG.

The game is currently available to wishlist on the store page, and is set for release later this year.

GOG has also announced that the original version of the game will also be added to players’ libraries upon purchase of the remaster.

It was announced in August that Croc developer Argonaut Games had been revived, and that Croc would be the first of numerous Argonaut titles set to be brought back.

The remaster will feature enhanced HD graphics, modern controls (with an option to keep the original’s tank controls), an updated camera and retro video modes.

However, players who prefer retro aesthetics will also have access to the original 1997 PC version of the game, tweaked to work on modern hardware.

“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,” Argonaut founder Jez San said in a statement.

“Croc Legend of the Gobbos is both a nostalgic return for retro-gamers and an exhilarating new adventure for first-timers. We have dedicated ourselves to bringing this remaster to as wide an audience as possible so that fans of PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC on GOG can experience the magic and enjoyment of Croc.”

GOG head of business development Bartosz Kwietniewski added: “Croc represents the heart of our mission – preserving and celebrating the legacy of gaming.

“By offering both the classic and the remastered versions in one package and keeping all our games DRM-free, we’re ensuring that players not only relive the magic but have the true sense of ownership as well.”

As well as the PC version on GOG, the Croc remaster will also be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
