This follows Argonaut&#8217;s 2025 remaster of <em>Croc: Legend of the Gobbos<\/em>, meaning the little green croc is now a full franchise revival.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CA9nLrRH-ms\" title=\"Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos - Official Announcement Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos &#8211; Official Announcement Trailer \u2014 via IGN on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Croc 2 Is Getting the Full Remaster Treatment<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/croc2-village-level-gameplay-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Croc standing on a dock in the sunny Sailor Village level\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Argonaut Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The remaster picks up right where the 2025 original left off. Croc 2 expands the world considerably: instead of one island, you now roam a mainland split into four distinct villages \u2014 the coastal Sailor Village, the wintry Cossack Village, the prehistoric Caveman Village, and the mountaintop Inca Village. Captured Gobbos are scattered throughout, and Swap Meet Pete&#8217;s General Store returns to sell handy gadgets and teleport you between villages.<\/p>\n<p>The move set has been updated too. Croc&#8217;s classic jumps and tail-spin are back, joined by a new triple jump that gives extra height in trickier sections. But the bigger addition is the sheer variety of how you get around: car races, speedboat sections, minecart runs, hang gliding, and even an airplane sequence are all in the mix across 40-plus levels of open-ended 3D platforming.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/croc2-car-racing-gameplay-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Croc racing in a small car on a lava-bordered track\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Argonaut Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>New bosses make their debut, including Soveena the Squid (whose ginger soda fixation makes her a coastal menace), Cannon Boat Keith (a skeleton-crewed pirate captain), and Flavio the Thermal Fish (who spits scalding water). The game promises updated visuals that preserve the original&#8217;s charm while modernising the look for current displays.<\/p>\n<h2>The Croc2pedia and Behind-the-Scenes Museum<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/croc2-hang-glider-lava-cave-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Croc hang gliding through a glowing lava cave collecting crystals\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Argonaut Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A highlight of the original remaster was its digital museum, and Croc 2 goes further with the <strong>Croc2pedia<\/strong>: a curated archive of full game design documentation, marketing assets, promotional merchandise, animation test videos, and 3D model galleries of characters, levels, and items that were cut from the original shipped game. Interviews with original Argonaut team members, remaster developers, and producers are also included. For anyone curious about how a classic 90s 3D platformer actually came together, this is a genuine treat.<\/p>\n<h2>Platforms \u2014 But No Release Date Yet<\/h2>\n<p>Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos is confirmed for <strong>PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC<\/strong>. No release date has been announced. Singapore gamers with a PS5 or Nintendo Switch will be able to play it, and given that the original Croc remaster launched simultaneously across platforms in 2025, a simultaneous release seems likely here too. We will update when pricing and a release window are confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>For more retro gaming revivals and new releases, keep an eye on our <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/game-news\/\">Game News<\/a> and <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/retro-gaming\/\">Retro Gaming<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n<p><!--GT-SCOUT source=\"Web (English)\" theme=\"Video games\" flags=\"none\"--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos, the beloved 1999 PS1 platformer sequel, is getting a full remaster for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC from Argonaut Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":6914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[11,6],"tags":[134,740,322,64,830,560],"class_list":["post-6918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","category-retro-gaming","tag-nintendo-switch","tag-platformer","tag-playstation-5","tag-ps5","tag-remaster","tag-retro-gaming"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/croc2-kingdom-gobbos-remaster-key-art-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1440&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p13AlF-1NA","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6839,"url":"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/culdcept-the-first-saturn-tribute-steam-launch-2026\/","url_meta":{"origin":6918,"position":0},"title":"Culdcept The First Is Out on Steam Now \u2014 The 1997 Saturn Card-Board Classic Returns","date":"July 31, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Culdcept The First, a remaster of the cult 1997 Sega Saturn original, is out now on Steam with English support.
