Limited Run Games Affirms June 2025 Physical Release for Gex Trilogy on Nintendo Switch
After months of anticipation, Limited Run Games has officially detailed the physical release of Gex Trilogy for Nintendo Switch, confirming a launch date of June 16, 2025.
The announcement highlights various editions packed with exclusive collectibles, catering to fans eager for both nostalgia and substantial extras.
Developed by Limited Run Games and powered by the Carbon Engine, Gex Trilogy reinvigorates the iconic platforming franchise that originally debuted in the late 1990s.
The collection unites the cult classic Gex, along with its two celebrated 3D sequels—Gex: Enter the Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko—delivering both newcomers and longtime fans updated experiences on modern hardware.
Three Editions Packed with Collectibles
For this physical release, Limited Run Games is offering three distinct editions: Standard, Classic Edition, and Tail Time Edition.
The Classic Edition appeals to collectors with its retro-styled box, a steelbook case, a curated soundtrack selection, and a double-sided poster measuring 12” x 16”.
Meanwhile, the Tail Time Edition ups the ante, featuring custom artwork by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano, full soundtracks for all trilogy entries, a 36” inflatable Gex doll, a 7” Gex statue, a remote pin, trading cards, and all items included in the Classic Edition.
Enhanced Classics with Modern Improvements
Gex Trilogy is not merely a re-release; it leverages the Carbon Engine to bring numerous enhancements for 2025, including smoother performance, improved visuals, and additional extras.
Players will revisit the quirky adventures of Gex, a wise-cracking gecko brought to life by comedian Dana Gould’s signature one-liners.
The trilogy spans witty 2D and 3D platforming, secret-filled levels, inventive character disguises, fluid animations, and a wide array of gameplay mechanics like scuba diving, gliding, and tongue grabbing.
Nods to Pop Culture and Celebrity Talent
Throughout the trilogy, players encounter witty parodies of television and cinema, with Gex often donning different costumes to lampoon pop culture.
Notably, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko features Baywatch’s Marlice Andrada as Agent Xtra, further contributing to the series’ legacy of satirical humor and celebrity appearances.
The voice work of Dana Gould continues to provide over a thousand quips and impressions across the three titles, ensuring the games’ legacy of comedic platforming endures.
