Argonaut Games has made the tough decision to delay the upcoming Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster to Q1 2025.
In a statement shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Argonaut said the decision to delay the game from its projected December 2024 release date "was not made lightly, but we believe a little more time is needed to add the final touches to ensure the game meets the high standards that we aspire to and which you deserve."
"We understand that after 27 years of waiting, this news might be a little disappointing, especially with the festive season coming." Argonaut's statement continues, "However, our goal has always been to deliver a game with the quality and polish that will truly delight."
Below is the statement in full.

As the team mentioned, it's probably a bit disappointing for those of us who grew up with Croc on the original PlayStation. However, we've waited this long for the little crocodile's return — we can wait a little bit longer, we think.
It also gives us a little longer to save up for that rather lovely-looking special edition, doesn't it?

Delays....what a croc
Its a disappointing but at the same time I'd rather wait if it means a much more polished release. Whenever they release Croc its gonna be a day one purchase for me.
I've been a bit suspicious of this remake, the fact that it's being delayed rather than rushed out for a holiday release is comforting.
I guess I’ll… see you later, Alligator.
Nailed it.
In the age of rushed games released broken, it's become refreshing to see studios delaying games to polish them. All the power to Argonaut for forgoing the Christmas cash to deliver a full experience instead!
Honestly, it is a little amusing saying Croc needs more time for fine tuning considering why this game was known in the first place.
Oh man, that was the only game I was looking forward to this month
it will be awhile crocodile.. nyuk nyuk..
Ugh, I hate getting Croc Blocked.
Always the best decision
Weren’t these games supposedly terrible? Why remaster them?
Can't wait love me some 3d platformers and the tank controls always put me off, so this update is perfect.
It was announced quite recently too, and then hasn't had much fanfare or build up for meaning to release this month, so this is probably the right call
theres so much in December anyway, that no big deal. Legacy of Kain drops in 4 days and theres nightdives remaster of Thing in a couple of days as well
To be fair Decembers not a great month to launch games.
As at this point it's to close to christmas. I suspect this will be Feb or March now
I still own both PlayStation versions anyway so I'll just play those while I wait. This being said I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed even a bit irritated because I am.
I just want to know if there will be a physical edition in the UK. You'd think they would have announced that by now considering that they're based here.
Take all the time you need guys. Looking forward to it.

@VHSGREMLIN Well, you can play them without tank controls now.
Why does every reporter insist on calling this a PlayStation game. This was on the Saturn too, and the Saturn glitch is what most people talk about!
Sad its been delayed, but still excited for this once it does land.
A delayed Croc Remaster is bad eventually.
But a rushed Croc Remaster will be bad immediately.
@MontyCircus Precisely this! I assume they've delayed it so they can desperately try and find some more people that will buy it...!
Isn't the publisher of this notorious for vaporware?
Been looking through the comments and I’m so confused. Do people think this Croc is bad? I’ve been playing this game on Saturn for nearly 30 years and it never occurred to me that somebody could not love the world’s most lovable game.

They also announced this on BlueSky btw:

Given that X has become a bit of a dumpster fire, maybe worth linking to other social media sites instead (whether it be BlueSky, Mastodon, whatever).

I have read that the Gog Version comes with the original PC Release, this is a really nice touch.
Will get it as soon as it releases
