Way back in 2021, Square Enix was spotted filing a trademark for the forgotten '90s platforming mascot Gex. Now, today during the Limited Run Games Showcase for 2023, dreams have come true, with the publisher announcing the return of the anthropomorphic gecko. It's not one or two, but three games in a trilogy collection for the Switch and multiple other platforms.
This collection will include Gex (1995), Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998), and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999) and is running on Limited Run's Carbon Engine - "a development tool that allows legacy content to be ported to modern platforms". There's no release date, details, or price yet, but when we get an update we'll let you know.
As previously mentioned in our trademark post, the Gex games were originally developed by Crystal Dynamics - the team better known in recent times for the Tomb Raider series and Marvel's Avengers. In the 1990s, Gex games were available back in the day on Nintendo platforms like N64 and Game Boy Color.
