Limited Run Games, known for its re-releases of older titles and physical releases of indie titles, launched its Summer Games Showcase last night (July 12). While there have been plenty of unexpected announcements throughout the show, including Clock Tower, River City Girls Zero, and more, what none of us expected was the release of the Gex trilogy for modern devices.
Now, while I’ve seen a lot of talk about Gex in recent years, I’ve personally never considered this TV-obsessed Gecko a meme. So seeing the original trilogy coming to modern consoles definitely caught me off guard. Alas, there are now many Gex fans who will be happy!
There’s currently no release window for the Gex trilogy, though Limited Run Games says further updates will be available in the future. We’ll be sure to update this page with more info as it goes live.
