Get ready to channel-surf through nostalgia — Gex is back, baby!
The beloved tail-whipping, wise-cracking gecko is making his long-awaited return in Gex Trilogy, a fully remastered collection bringing his best-selling adventures to modern consoles.
Courtesy of Limited Run Games, this retro revival will launch for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in Summer 2025 — and it’s packing more cheesy TV references than a ‘90s sitcom marathon.
A Remastered Classic With A Modern Twist
This isn’t just another rerun though as Gex Trilogy revamps the original Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko with improved controls, enhanced visuals, widescreen support, and quality-of-life upgrades like rewind and save state options.
For those of you looking for an authentic throwback, the collection stays true to its roots, running on Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, ensuring an experience that feels just as slick as you remember.
