A user dug up a short demo of a Gex game that was obviously never released. Will Square Enix’ recent rebranding allow for a return of the franchise?
Gex Jr. is the name of an unannounced and never released unreleased title. A new episode that has just hit the web while Square Enix has renewed the brand on its site.

Courses for a specific extracted gex jr appeared online on justz00t’s YouTube channel. According to the video description, this demo is dated January 25, 2001 and was created by ImageBuilder. A trial version found on an old CD-R.

This is clearly a brand new installment from Square Enix at the time, which could have been released after the PS1 trilogy. A precursor? A sequel to a potential gecko son?
Gex: Returning to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC?
A parody of American society and television, Gex Jr. apparently wouldn’t have looked much different from its predecessors with references to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? as well as Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire vs. attack. So a return soon? Never say never… especially since Square Enix was busy behind the scenes in February and last year.
In fact, the Japanese publisher has secured the exploitation rights in Japan and Europe. We’ll tone down this action, however, as it doesn’t necessarily equate to a project in development. But if so, will Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider, Marvel’s Avengers), creators of the series, be back? Who knows, but the studio is already trying to save the new Perfect Dark.
Do you think Gex will make a comeback on consoles and PC? Did the franchise shape your childhood? Tell us everything in comments.
