Argonaut Teases ‘Buck Bumble’ Comeback With Theme Clip and New Art

The move suggests the studio’s retro revival plan may be shifting toward its cult N64 catalog.

Overview

  • Argonaut Games posted a Buck Bumble tease on X and Bluesky on Monday that used the game’s theme and high‑res imagery and told fans to “stay tuned.”
  • PC Gamer and VGC interpret the post as pointing to a likely remaster or remake, though Argonaut has not confirmed scope, platforms, or timing.
  • Founder Jez San revived Argonaut in 2024 and released a Croc remaster in 2025, and leaders said future revivals would follow commercial results.
  • Executives previously linked any Buck Bumble return to work under way on Croc 2 and to whether the sequel made sense financially.
  • Buck Bumble launched on Nintendo 64 in 1998 through Ubisoft as a third‑person shooter about a cyborg bee in a near‑future London and later gained cult notice for its title theme.
