Limited Run Games has announced the release of the Gex Trilogy, set for June 16. This collection will be available in physical editions, with pre-orders starting on May 9. The Gex Trilogy features several enhancements, including support for widescreen resolution and improved analog controls.
The trilogy includes three distinct physical editions: Standard, Classic, and Tail Time, each offering unique bonuses for collectors and fans alike. This marks a significant comeback for the Gex franchise, which has been inactive since the late 90s. New fans will finally get to experience the humorous escapades of Gex, the witty lizard, and enjoy the nostalgic references that characterized the original games.
Prior to the remastered release, the Gex series had been dormant for over two decades. Despite this gap, the new version retains the series’ trademark humor and quirky charm, continuing to deliver the entertaining one-liners for which it is known. The Standard Edition, priced at $39.99, includes the three games: Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, along with a game disc/cartridge, case, cover, booklet, and a Steam key for PC.
The Classic Edition, available for $74.99, expands upon the Standard contents by adding a Steelbook®, a double-sided poster, a soundtrack selection CD, and a retro-style box. For devoted fans, the Tail Time Edition is priced at $199.99 and offers a comprehensive package, featuring exclusive design work by renowned Final Fantasy illustrator Yoshitaka Amano. As the gaming industry witnesses a revival of 90s mascots, Gex is set to reclaim its place in the spotlight.
The remastered trilogy, complete with upgrades, will undoubtedly appeal to both nostalgic players and newcomers ready to embrace the quirky humor of the beloved gecko.
