We’ve Got New Spyro Rumors Again

Merry Christmas!

I remember when the 25th anniversary of Spyro the Dragon arrived, and everyone hoped a new game would be announced.

And I remember a few months later when a blurred purple screen got people spreading Spyro speculation once again.

In fact, there have probably been more times since then, all without a new Spyro game ever being announced.

But it’s time to get our hopes up once again, because fans discovered that a former Toys for Bob employee lists on his LinkedIn profile that while he was employed by Activision between 2022 and 2024, he worked on both Call of Duty and Spyro.

That suggests that something related to Spyro was in the works during that time span.

This has sparked new hope that we’ll actually get a new Spyro game announced. Is that our Christmas present? We’ll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, I never played the remake of the original Spyro trilogy, but if a new game is announced, maybe I’ll finally check it out.

(Not that I’ve played the new Crash Bandicoot game yet, either… oops.)

Anyway, do you think we’re finally getting a new Spyro game?

Toys for Bob’s Mysterious Tweet Sparks New Spyro Hopes

It’s been 5 years since the Spyro Reignited Trilogy brought the first three Spyro games back, and 15 years since the last new game in the series.

(We are rapidly approaching 20 years since the last Spyro game I played, since I never tried the Legend of Spyro games, and I don’t quite know how to feel about that.)

Despite hopes of a new Spyro game announcement for the 25th anniversary, the anniversary came and went without so much as a tease.

Spyro was added to Crash Team Rumble recently, however, which has led some fans to hope that the new assets could hint at an upcoming new Spyro game.

Now we have another shred of hope to add more fuel to the fire, as Toys for Bob, the developer of the Skylanders games and the Reignited Trilogy, shared a tweet about working with Unreal Engine 5 that has blurred screens in the background of the picture. A blurred screen doesn’t say much, but one of the screens shows enough purple to get fans whispering about Spyro and Skylanders.

Personally, I don’t quite see it yet. It does look like the right shade of purple, but nothing else in that image really screams “Spyro” at me. Nevertheless, it at least seems like they’re hinting at something in development… and I’d love for it to be a new Spyro game.

I know, I know, I should play the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot 4 while waiting. I can’t really talk about anticipation for a new one when I’m still twiddling my thumbs about those.

Anyway, what do you think of the latest potential hints to a new Spyro game? Is Spyro 4 (or whatever they’d end up titling it) in development, or are we merely grasping at straws?

Spyro is Celebrating Its 25th Anniversary

We are quickly approaching the 25th anniversary of the Spyro series.

That’s right, the original Spyro the Dragon launched on September 9, 1998.

Now, I haven’t talked about the Spyro series too much here, but that’s because I played the original trilogy long before I started blogging, and the later games after the series switched developers never quite clicked with me.

I picked up the remastered collection, but haven’t played it yet due to having played the originals.

But those original three were among my favorites. I loved those games.

With the 25th anniversary fast approaching, they announced that the remastered trilogy has sold 10 million copies worldwide, a nice milestone to cross. The Spyro social media accounts also changed their profile and header pictures to reflect the 25th anniversary.

All in all, it looks like they’re serious about celebrating the 25th anniversary, so I have my fingers crossed for a new Spyro game announcement! Crash Bandicoot got a new game just a few years ago (which I still need to play), so why not Spyro?

Despite falling away from the series after the original trilogy, I’d definitely be willing to give a brand-new Spyro game a chance. Do you think they’ll announce a new game for the anniversary?
