GG Aleste 3 is a sequel for the Aleste series and a direct followup to GG Aleste II, released in December 2020 as a special bonus included on the Aleste Collection for the Sony PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch and as part of the limited edition Game Gear Micro included with the premium edition of the collection. The game was developed as a true Game Gear game, not being a simple recreation of the system's technical aspects.
