Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos remaster announced by Argonaut Games!

Last year we saw the grand return of Croc with the remaster and re-release of Legend of the Gobbos. For fans of the best game released in 1997, it was like Easter morning when he rose again. Following the “Return of the King” in October of last year, the question then became about whether we would see Croc 2 or not. Fret not, for Argonaut Games have announced officially that Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos (originally the title of Croc 2, albeit previously unused) is making its re-debut in Q4 2026 as it is currently in development.

This remaster plans to include over 40 levels, restores the original title from back during Croc 2’s original development cycle, and all sorts of new gameplay not from the original. We’ll also be graced with the Croc2Pedia, a digital museum of sorts including things like never-before-seen development materials, cut content, and developer interviews.

Thanks to all sorts of fan demand and technical improvement (you better believe there’s fan demand) Argonaut Games is glad to bring back Croc 2 on modern platforms. Upon release, Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam and GOG. If you simply can’t wait and don’t want to miss out on the official release, you can wishlist the game now on aforementioned platforms.

Argonaut Games is delighted to announce Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos, a remaster of its beloved sequel to the multi-million-selling hit Croc Legend of the Gobbos, now in development for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, XBOX Series X, XBOX Series S, and Windows PC on Steam and GOG.com, featuring enhanced visuals and a range of quality-of-life improvements. Wishlisting is available starting today, with direct links to each platform’s Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos page. The Switch link leads to a page on Argonaut’s website where visitors can enter an email address to be notified when Switch wishlisting goes live.

Originally released as Croc 2, this remaster restores the title Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos, the name used during the game’s development.

A Classic Sequel, Remastered

In Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos, Croc sets off for the mainland in search of his long-lost parents. However, his journey becomes a showdown as his arch-nemesis, Baron Dante, is resurrected by the Dantinis and vows revenge. Croc’s quest takes him through four distinct villages, where he rescues captured Gobbos and faces off against a roster of Guardians, including Soveena the Squid, whose obsession with Ginger Soda makes her a menace to contend with.

All of Croc’s classic moves are back, but jumping and tail-spinning are just the beginning. Croc can now triple jump, giving him extra height when he needs it most. Croc also rides minecarts, races cars and speedboats, catches air on a hang glider, and takes to the skies in a wooden airplane, across over 40 levels of open-ended 3D platforming.

Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos delivers a blend of traditional platforming action with modern enhancements, preserving the feel of the original while introducing another generation to its enduring charm.

Introducing the Croc2pedia

As with the Crocipedia in the first remaster, Argonaut Games is once again assembling an in-game digital museum. The Croc2pedia offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Croc’s sophomore adventure, including never-before-seen development materials, cut content, and interviews with the original and remaster teams, tracing the game’s creative evolution from early concepts to final completion.

Platforms

Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos will be available digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, XBOX Series X, XBOX Series S, and Windows (Steam & GOG.com).

A Vision Continued

“We’ve made no secret of the fact that if Croc did well in the market, the obvious next project would be to remaster Croc 2,” said Mike Arkin, co-CEO of Argonaut Games. “Croc’s successful return exceeded what we hoped for, and that made the decision easy. Croc 2 was originally built on a totally different engine to Croc, posing its own set of remastering challenges, but the early work we did to validate our approach paid off.”

“Croc 2 was always the plan, once we saw how fans embraced the first remaster,” said Jez San OBE, Argonaut’s founder. “It’s a real pleasure to see the next chapter in Croc’s story brought to today’s modern platforms, and I can’t wait for both longtime fans and new players to experience it in glorious HD.”

“Being resurrected by an army of sycophantic Dantinis wasn’t on my bingo card, but it worked,” said Baron Dante, Croc’s arch-nemesis. “That irksome crocodile ruined my last plan, so this time it’s personal!”

Croc 2 Kingdom of the Gobbos is currently in development and targeting a Q4 2026 release, with further details on release timing and physical editions to be shared later this year. Fans of the original remaster, and newcomers alike, can look forward to another heartwarming, family-friendly adventure packed with platforming challenges, secrets to uncover, and more adorable Gobbos to rescue.
