A return to the 1999 sequel
Originally released as Croc 2, the game returns with the expanded Kingdom of the Gobbos subtitle—the name used during development, according to Argonaut’s announcement coverage. The story sends Croc searching for his long-lost parents after a message in a bottle points him toward them; the journey also brings back his enemy Baron Dante.

What the remaster changes
Argonaut says the updated game features enhanced visuals and quality-of-life improvements while returning to the original platforming adventure. The 1999 game has more than 40 levels.

The announcement describes the broad improvements, rather than detailing each change. Croc’s expanded moveset is part of the sequel’s original gameplay, so it should not be mistaken for a feature newly added in this remaster.

Croc2pedia adds a behind-the-scenes archive
The remaster includes Croc2pedia, a digital museum focused on the making of the sequel. It is presented as a collection of behind-the-scenes development material, extending the archival extras associated with the first game’s remaster.
