Busby Collection, Clock Tower, Gex Trilogy, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, Tomba, and Tomba 2 have been resurrected for modern-day devices by LRG's Carbon Engine tech.
But that's not all. DoubleShake, Fear Effect, Fighting Force Collection Ghost, and Renaine are all set to release digitally as well as physically. The latter is set to release in autumn 2024, and the rest next year.
"LRG3 2023 was a huge success for Limited Run Games, with our showcase and trailer announcements seen by fans more than one million times to date," said CEO, Josh Fairhurst.
"We knew we had set a high bar and we've gone all out this year to deliver a presentation every bit as exciting, with over 20 massive announcements which we think gamers will go crazy for. We're delighted to bring fan-favorite classics like Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition and Busby Collection back to modern gamers and can't wait to share more details through the coming year."
Beyond Good & Evil 2 – thought for ages to be little more than vapourware – has had the longest-ever development period. In the meantime, the remaster of the first game will release digitally on PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (via Steam, Epic, and the Ubisoft Store) next Tuesday, 25th June. A physical release from Limited Run Games is due later, with pre-orders opening on 12th July.
