APEX, North Carolina — June 6, 2022 — Limited Run Games believes your favorite games should be available in physical format in a place of prominence with your most cherished collector’s items. Today, Limited Run Games reveals 33 new titles for over eight different platforms during its annual LRG3 summer showcase which aired on Twitch.tv. The digital event was co-hosted by co-founders Josh Fairhurst and Douglas Bogart and produced in partnership with Mega64. Highlights include STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic II, Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection, a Shantae statue reveal, DOOM Eternal, and a tease of the highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Collector’s Editions!
In addition, four new titles developed with Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine emulation tool were also spotlighted. Titles included Bill & Ted's Excellent Retro Collection, Rendering Ranger R-2, A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection, and Shantae for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. These games join River City Girls Zero and the original Shantae in the highly coveted and growing catalog of revitalized retro classics now available on modern platforms from Limited Run Games.
“Limited Run Games has always been best known for our bespoke high-quality collector’s editions – and that’s not something we plan on changing anytime soon,” said Josh Fairhurst, Co-Founder at Limited Run Games. “But a lot of folks may not realize we also help develop games and we’re beyond excited to be able to share an early look at retro classics made with our Carbon Engine, like Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Adventure and A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection, coming soon for modern platforms.”
Limited Run Games also announced continued key partnerships with KONAMI, WayForward, LucasFilm Games, along with a host of beloved – new and ongoing - game companies. This year’s LRG3 lineup represents some of the best talent and games in the industry, which Limited Run Games is proud to be able to partner with in its mission to increase accessibility and preservation of great games in physical format.
