2023
16/2/2023 - Hello! This is the first update for the year in regards to Gex. While, it's strictly talking about Gex. There's been a recent news article which announced that Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal are going to be releasing five triple-A games by March 2028. At first glance, it doesn't seem all that important. But, it does elude some interesting details about remakes, sequels and revivals on the horizon.
"Prior to last year’s completion of a $300 million deal to acquire a large part of Square Enix’s western development arm, Embracer said it was envisaging releasing sequels, remakes, remasters, spin-offs and more for Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal IPs, which also include Thief."
"And in November, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos CEO Phil Rogers said Crystal Dynamics had received an overwhelming response to a survey designed to gauge interest in a potential revival of its long-dormant Legacy of Kain series."
"24 will be published internally, 28 will be developed internally, 23 are based on owned IP, 24 are based on established IP, and seven are based on new IP."
This is very interesting development which actually doesn't rule out the possibly of a Gex revival on the table. This is very exciting news and I hope to hear more news in the near future!
2022
26/8/2022 - Well it's official as of 26th August 2022, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Interactive have been acquired by the Embracer Group. This is probably interesting news as this could possibly lead into Gex seeing into the limelight again. Due to the holding companies' track record of giving creative freedom to their developers. Also, given THQ Nordic's success under the company. This might be good for Crystal Dynamics when it comes to future projects. Only time could tell though, after being Square Enix for over 10 years. This could be good news for the series.
3/4/2022 - Well, it's been a long while since we gotten an update from the wiki. But there has been an amazing development, there was an unreleased Gex game which was just revealed by Hidden Palace, introducing Gex Jr. From what it could be seen, it looks like educational game based on the titular character to cater to the younger demographic. This is amazing as it seems to show there was more plans for Gex beyond the 90s! If you want to check it out, follow the link to the Hidden Palace page.
Also, watch the YouTube video while you're at it.
31/1/2022 - This is the first update to the Gex wiki for this year. We have been reviewing some articles and come to conclusion, we really haven't scratched all the bases yet. Since, we really want to keep the quality of the wiki updated. We going to make some changes:
- Expansion of the first Gex game articles and a possible rework to include the Gex Alpha build
- The Gameboy Color version of Enter the Gecko and Deep Pocket Gecko given seperate pages and more coverage since they are relatively unknown.
- Articles to include Gex in popular culture and cameos which probably could have whole page on its own.
- An update on walkthrough sections and design/inspiration sections of articles
- Inclusion of game manuals and other tidbits.
- More coverage on foreign releases of the game (Spin Tail, Contre Dr Rez, possibly Russian bootleg collections) and commericials for the games.
- Update and completion of quotes/reference pages for all the game series, and maybe some Spin Tail.There's a lot more to possibly cover, the Gex wiki would like to keep things as up-to-date as possible. Thank you readers for the continued support throughout the years. We hope could continue the tremendous work accordingly.
2021
21/9/2021 - Hey, it's been a long while since the last update, that's because there hasn't been much community news since we are pretty small community at the moment. But, there has been a pretty interesting discovery. In the original Gex, footage of the the inaccessible cut level, Grave5, has finally been uncovered. Thanks to an avid fan, Nitrazepamum. As a rundown, it's one of the levels which mentioned by developers which you can try out from the 3DO level select debug menu. However, when selected it just shows a black screen. However, due to this hack, this enables you to access the level through the PC and PS1 versions of the game. For your viewing pleasure, I would recommend you take a look for yourself. It's just great to see more discoveries regarding the 22 years after release. Follow the link and enjoy the video!
29/6/2021 - Hi, fellow editors. It has come to our attention, we uncovered a bit more about Gex 4 which was cancelled the sequel to the Gex trilogy. We did a bit of searching and we found it's origin of the concept art outside the Unseen64 article. It was done by Senior Environment Artist, Freddie Lee, who worked at Crystal Dynamics at the time, notably for his work on Whiplash, Mad Dash Racing and Legacy of Kain! It's really awesome news we wanted to share. Since, Gex 4 has been a bit of a mystery for a long time of where the concept art has came from. If you want to check out more of his brilliant artwork, follow this the link to his site, you won't be dissapointed :)
