Originally developed by Crystal Dynamics, the Gex series is being brought to modern consoles by Limited Run Games. Not much was revealed in today’s surprise announcement, but we do know that the Gex Trilogy will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. No release window was announced.
“Were you expecting someone else? Tail time is imminent,” reads the YouTube trailer description for Gex Trilogy. “Through the science of the Carbon Engine, Gex fans will be able to revisit Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko on modern systems for the first time! Don’t touch that dial! Limited Run will have more news to share about the Gex Trilogy later!”
For those who are unfamiliar with Gex, the original game was released in 1995 with its sequel, Gex: Enter the Gecko launching in 1998. Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko was released a year later in 1999. A fourth game was in development for PlayStation 2 and GameCube, but was ultimately canceled due to lack of interest. Gex is a gecko who lives in Hawaii and has quite the charming personality. The games, a mix of 2D and 3D platformers, feature Gex navigating through parodies of television and movie genres.
