Gex Trilogy trailer confirms a summer release window
The compilation consists of all three Gex games
A new trailer for Gex Trilogy confirms that the game is planned to release this summer.
While no specific release date has yet been announced, the latest trailer from publisher Limited Run Games gives a summer 2025 release window.
Gex Trilogy, which will be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC, contains all three games in the Gex series of action platformers released during the PS1 era.
The games are being released via Limited Run’s Carbon Engine, a development tool that helps create emulation-based ports of classic games for modern hardware. It will be released in both digital and physical versions.
According to Limited Run, Gex Trilogy adds save state and rewind options for all three games, as well as new widescreen support for the second and third games.
It also adds a Music Player, a Media Player with promotional material and artwork, and a new video interview with Dana Gould, the comedian who voiced Gex in the North American versions of the game (in the UK he was voiced by Leslie Phillips and Danny John-Jules).
Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the platform game series starring the titular anthropomorphic gecko called Gex comprised of three games released between 1995 and 1999.
The first game, Gex, was a 2D platformer released on the PS1, Saturn, 3DO and PC and saw the titular gecko travelling through the Media Dimension, exploring five themed TV channels in an attempt to defeat the evil overlord Rez.
The sequel Gex: Enter the Gecko was released on PS1, N64 and PC and shifted the gameplay to a 3D platform engine, with Rez once again travelling through TV-based worlds taking such themes as children’s cartoons, sci-fi shows and Kung Fu movies.
Finally, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko was released on PS1 and N64 and has Gex returning on the Media Dimension one more time to rescue his (human) girlfriend Agent Xtra.
