Limited Run Games is gearing up to bring a beloved classic back to life with the release of the Gex Trilogy, scheduled for Summer 2025. Fans can look forward to enjoying this nostalgic journey on multiple platforms. Whether you prefer digital or the charm of a physical game copy, you’ll have options.
Once a staple of the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 era, the Gex series has been out of action for some time. But now, newcomers and long-time fans alike will have the chance to dive back into this unforgettable world. It’s all thanks to Limited Run Games’ efforts to revive the series.
In the mid-90s, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix teamed up to deliver the original Gex games during what many remember as a golden era for 3D platformers. Gex, the wise-cracking gecko protagonist, is famous for his witty remarks and love for pop culture, especially from the ’70s. His adventures usually take him through a quirky variety of TV-themed worlds where he collects TV remotes and battles his recurring foe, Rez. While the franchise hasn’t been in the spotlight for quite some time, it still holds a special place in the hearts of those who remember its unique contribution to gaming history. However, the absence of new content and support has pushed Gex into the somewhat forgotten realm of gaming mascots.
Recently, Limited Run Games dropped a video update announcing the Gex Trilogy’s release window of Summer 2025 on YouTube. As a result, anticipation has been bubbling among gaming communities. Square Enix has even re-registered the Gex trademark, probably to pave the way for this upcoming release. The trilogy will be available on a variety of modern platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam. Limited Run Games will also be taking charge of the physical releases, with more details to come soon.
So, what can players expect from the Gex Trilogy? Along with the release window reveal, the trailer hints at native widescreen support. This trilogy will encompass all three original titles: Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. Each game offers its own unique gameplay experience, ranging from the classic 2D platforming of the first title to the more expansive 3D environments seen in the sequels. There hasn’t been much information on other potential updates or enhancements, but the widescreen support suggests some degree of modernization for today’s gaming systems. Those familiar with Limited Run Games’ work know that they have a knack for bringing classic collections back to life, like they’re doing with Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection this year.
Limited Run Games has gained a reputation for reviving beloved but aging game titles, recently including a physical release of Virtua Fighter 2. The Gex Trilogy is undoubtedly one of the more anticipated projects in this wave of classic rereleases, sparking hope among fans that it might just reignite interest in the series and potentially breathe new life into the Gex franchise.
