Limited Run Games held its 2024 Summer Games Showcase earlier today, and it included a bunch of upcoming Xbox titles! Just like last year, some of these announcements were for physical versions of games that have already been announced / released, while others were for games that had never been revealed before.
Firstly, here's the list of already-announced Xbox titles that will be getting physical Xbox versions:
- Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
- Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP
- Starship Troopers: Extermination
- Penny's Big Breakaway
Sadly, there were also quite a lot of announcements at the event for games that aren't coming to Xbox, including the likes of the Fighting Force Collection, PS1 game Fear Effect and Tomba! 2. We would have loved those too!
Now, let's take a look at the new Xbox announcements and trailers from the Limited Run Showcase:
Gimmick 2! (TBD 2024)
"Yumetaro is back! Embark on a sparkling journey in this long-awaited sequel to SUNSOFTās legendary NESā¢ platformer Gimmick! Solve puzzles, trick enemies, and explore a physics-based playground."
Beyond Good & Evil - 20th Anniversary Edition (2025)
"Armed with her dai-jo and faithful camera, Jadeās adventure will get you to freely explore Hillys, combat creatures large and small, infiltrate dangerous areas, solve enigmatic puzzles, play addictive mini-games, race the best hovercraft pilots, and take pictures of the whole experience. Be ready to dive into a trailblazing blend of action gameplay and thrilling emotional cutscenes!"
Rugrats: Adventures In Gameland (TBD 2024)
"Everyone's favorite babies are back in action! When Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil see a commercial for the new Reptar video game, they pretend that they're in a video game of their own. Through the power of imagination, the babies transform Tommy's house into a video game world full of action, excitement, and adventure. Toggle between beautiful 8-bit and HD art, select your favorite baby and play this neo-retro platformer! Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland can be played solo, or team up with a friend for some two-player co-op fun!"
Ghosts (TBD 2025)
"GHOSTS is a full motion video, horror game stepping into the shoes of Night Trap, Phantasmagoria and The 7th Guest. Itās a real-time live action game which means that it has to be played at 10pm in your local time zone. Written and Directed by Jed Shepherd (writer and exec producer of HOST - āThe Scariest Movie of the last Decadeā - Dread Central & āThe Genre Phenomenon of 2020ā - Forbes) in partnership with Visible Games & Limited Run Games. The game takes inspiration from the works of Manx screenwriter Nigel Kneale and the blurring of fact and fiction in the found footage movies from the last 25 years. However, unlike previous games in this oft-forgotten genre weāre creating a horror experience that aims to truly chill your blood and send full motion video games screaming into the modern day."
GEX Trilogy (TBD 2024)
"Gex Trilogy is the definitive edition of the classic platforming series with Gexcessive attitude, complete with Gextras like rewind and save anywhere. Relive Gexās snark-laced adventures through the warped lens of twentieth-century pop culture and use your Gexterity to survive an onslaught of television-themed challenges."
Clock Tower: Rewind (TBD 2024)
"Turn back the clock for one of the pioneers of the survival-horror genre. Translated and released outside of Japan for the first time, Clock Tower: Rewind is a revival of the terror-inducing 16-bit classic that dares you to explore the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor. As teenage orphan Jennifer, you must search every disturbing corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to evade Scissorman, a murderous, unstoppable, shears-wielding psychopath."
Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection (TBD 2025)
"Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection is a playable history that includes games, artifacts and interviews. All of the games have been carefully updated for modern PCs and consoles using Limited Runās proprietary Carbon Engine. Along the way the team was able to smooth out some of the gamesā rough edges."
Any of these upcoming Xbox titles take your fancy? Let us know down below.

Wait. What? We're getting the Gex trilogy on Xbox?
I'm too excited to know what to do with this information.
AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW YEAH BUBSY, BABY!
Bubsy 3D better be in there or they have no guts haha.
" Along the way the team was able to smooth out some of the gamesā rough edges" - I'm sure this means that Bubsy 3D will finally become the 10/10 that it deserves, as with the rest of the franchise.
...Oh yeah, the other games there were cool too. Getting a physical and digital Ninja Five-O on modern consoles (except Xbox...) is nuts, as that game is one of the most expensive GBA games. Cosmic Fantasy Collection 2 was an awesome surprise, as with Tomba 2 getting remastered as well, and Gimmick 2 being made. Great to see Gex pop up again, and great to see BGaE is getting a physical, I honestly thought that Ubi would make it digital only. Plenty of other cool stuff too! Not a top tier showcase, but still pretty good overall!
@BHPM What could PAWSSIBLY go wrong?
Anyone else remember when Rugrats was supposed to release in March and then justā¦ didnāt? And still no release date now
@NEStalgia Any Bubsy Fan: Do you want a list?
Seriously, The 3D game was terrible, The cartoon show didn't get beyond the pilot...
Hopefully, the Purrfect Collection will be what Bubsy needs to actually survive in the modern age... or it will fail miserably like everything else he touches.
@ValentineMeikin In some ways the guarantee that everything Bubsy is guaranteed to fail almost becomes part of his appeal. They need to lean into that and make him self-aware of his own failed mascot status. That would actually be a great game!
I'm convinced Volvy is actually part based on Bubsy, and it's all so much funnier that way.
@InterceptorAlpha Same, I put so many hours into them back in the day. š
@InterceptorAlpha Bubsy and Gex will have a gladiator style showdown to the death and Iām all for it. What a time to be alive.
Bubsy and Gex should do a crossover. š
Man. They really aren't doing much to those Gex games, huh?
I want Tomba!
Rugrats NES version looks amazing.
Looking forward to the Gex Trilogy just need a date now (along with a date for Killing Time Resurrected and Suikoden 1 & 2).
Good year for 3do remasters with POed and Freestars (Star Control 2) on Steam.
