It seems too good to be true, as most of these nostalgic PS1-era remaster rumours so often are, but this one comes straight from the mouth of Jez San, the founder of the original game’s developer, Argonaut Games – a HD version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is in the works!
The news comes by way of San replying to a tweet from writer James Batchelor, who’d just published a story for Time Extension chronicling the making of the iconic 1997 3D platformer. Batchelor ends the tweet by saying “Now to campaign for a Croc remaster!”
To which San simply says in his reply, “I have news but it’s a little premature to announce it. A Croc HD has started early development.”
I have news but it’s a little premature to announce it. a ‘Croc HD’ has started early development.

Obviously it’s just a confirmation, and a threadbare one at that, that someone out there has picked up the tools and said “Okay, we’re doing this” and definitely doesn’t indicate that we’re likely to see this Croc HD any time soon, but it’s an exciting development nonetheless.
We’ll be sure to keep an eye on this and see how it develops.
