Argonaut Announces Delay of Croc’s Return: “This Decision Was Not Made Lightly”

In a statement published on Friday, Argonaut Games announced that it has decided to delay the release of the Croc remaster, initially planned for December, to Q1 2025.

“This decision was not made lightly, but we believe that 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,” the company said.

“We understand that after 27 years of waiting, this news might be a little disappointing, especially with the festive season coming soon. However, our goal has always been to deliver a game with the quality and polish that will truly delight. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to bring Croc back in the best possible way.”

Announced in August, Croc will 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.

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