Classic PS1 Trilogy Set to Finally Return Next Month

Next month, a group of three classic games initially popularized on the PlayStation 1 will make their return in a combined collection. Over the past few years, the PS1 has seen a surge of interest, leading to several remasters and remakes of its games such as Tomba!, Suikoden, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Tomb Raider, and many more. Now, this trend of reviving PS1 games is set to continue, with a new focus on three cult-favorite titles.

The much-anticipated “Gex Trilogy” will be available next month, specifically on June 16th. This collection, published by Limited Run Games, will grace PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. Inside this compilation, you’ll find the original “Gex,” “Gex: Enter the Gecko,” and “Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko.” Originally released from 1995 to 1999, only the PS1 platform managed to host every game in the series. Since then, the Gex franchise has been dormant, making this remastered pack the first major development with the property in over two decades.

As a devoted fan, I’ve always appreciated the visual enhancements Limited Run has brought to each Gex game, but what truly excites me is their focus on refining controls and gameplay. For instance, they’ve added analogue controls to the 3D entries, making navigation smoother than ever. Additionally, they’ve introduced features like a rewind function and quick saves, greatly enhancing the overall gaming experience. It’s been a long wait since the announcement in 2023, but finally, we have a release date for this collection! Here’s hoping it lives up to our expectations.

If you’re interested in getting a head start on understanding the Gex Trilogy, you might want to take a look at its latest trailer and an overview provided by Limited Run Games, which are shared below.

Gex Trilogy

The “Gex Trilogy” enhances the gaming experience of the channel-surfing Gecko’s games, offering enhancements like Rewind and Save Anywhere features across all titles. Notably, “Gex: Enter the Gecko” and “Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko” will support native 16:9 widescreen and have been redesigned for full 360-degree analog control, which is a significant improvement from the original 8-directional movement. To put it simply, Gex was already smooth as a reptile, but now he handles even better, feeling more slick than a slippery salamander.
