Publisher Limited Run Games has officially confirmed the June 16 release date for the Gex Trilogy, along with details about its physical editions. This marks the triumphant return of the beloved Gex series, introducing a new generation to the wisecracking lizard hero.

Before the announcement of the remastered Gex Trilogy, the franchise had been dormant since the late 90s. Known for its pop-culture references and quirky humor, Gex remains a nostalgic gem. The remaster stays true to its roots, packed with the same hilarious one-liners that defined the original games.

In a recent store listing, Limited Run Games revealed that pre-orders for the Gex Trilogy will open on May 9. While the core gameplay remains faithful to the originals, technical upgrades include native widescreen support and improved analog controls for smoother platforming.
