Get ready to revisit the wacky world of the Media Dimension as Limited Run Games brings back the beloved Gex Trilogy for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Set to launch in Summer 2025, the Gex Trilogy remasters three iconic platformers: Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, bringing them to modern platforms with a fresh new look.
A blast from the past – Remastered for modern gaming
Originally released in the late 90s, Gex became a cult classic thanks to its wise-cracking gecko protagonist, voiced by HBO comedian Dana Gould. In the Gex Trilogy, players will once again guide Gex through parody-packed worlds inspired by TV shows and movies, battling quirky enemies and collecting remote controls to escape the Media Dimension.
The remastered trilogy is powered by Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, delivering the retro experience with modern enhancements:
- Updated visuals and improved controls for a smoother gameplay experience.
- Rewind and save state options, allowing players to correct platforming mistakes on the fly.
- Widescreen support for Gex: Enter the Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, making the colourful worlds more immersive than ever.
- Trophy and achievement support, giving completionists a new reason to master every level.
Nostalgia with new features
The Gex Trilogy doesn’t just bring back the classic gameplay; it also adds new features to enhance the nostalgic journey:
- Music Player with tracks from all three games.
- Media Viewer featuring promotional material, artwork, and a behind-the-scenes interview with Dana Gould, revealing the story behind Gex’s voice.
- New widescreen support and enhanced graphics that bring the retro style to modern displays without losing the charm of the original games.
Return of the wise-cracking gecko
Gex is back with his signature humour and over-the-top costumes. In Gex: Enter the Gecko, players can explore parody-themed levels inspired by action movies, cartoons, and kung fu flicks, all while donning costumes like a secret agent suit, kung fu uniform, and even a spacesuit.
Meanwhile, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko introduces even more disguises, including Private GEX, GEX Capone, and Count DracuGEX, each giving Gex unique abilities to navigate the levels.
Gex Trilogy release date and platforms
Gex Trilogy will launch physically and digitally for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch starting from Summer 2025. Fans of retro platformers and newcomers alike will get to experience the nostalgic adventure with a fresh coat of paint and modern conveniences.
Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or discovering the wise-cracking gecko for the first time, Gex Trilogy is shaping up to be an essential addition to any platformer fan’s library.
