In Spyro Reignited Trilogy, lead developer Toys For Bob
is giving fans an all scaled-up version of the original three Spyro
games that started it all, Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2:
Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, but with a
modern-day feel that makes it fresh and fun for today’s player.
Adding to the fun, voice actor Tom Kenny is returning to the
franchise as the voice of Spyro in all three remastered games.
Longtime fans will be treated to Toys For Bob’s reimagined version
of the classic soundtracks, in addition to an all-new title-screen
theme from original soundtrack composer Stewart Copeland.
Additionally, the new game brings an in-game audio feature that
allows players to switch between the original and the newly
remastered soundtracks, for those who want a more classic gameplay
experience. Players can simply fly in to the “options menu” at any
time during gameplay, unleash their preferred nostalgic or
scaled-up groove, and glide right back into the Spyro action
without losing saved data.
"It’s been a real pleasure to bring back one of most iconic
videogame characters of all time through the Spyro Reignited
Trilogy,” said Paul Yan, Co-Studio Head at Toys For
Bob. “We’ve poured everything we’ve got into making sure every
detail was done right to deliver a great Spyro experience for fans.
We hope players will have as much fun revisiting the Spyro world
and characters as we did remastering them.”
In the road up to the official release of Spyro Reignited
Trilogy, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), created a
first-of-its-kind, life-sized, fire-breathing and talking Spyro
Dragon drone. The drone took off from “Stone Hill” castle near New
York City, spreading his wings across the U.S. to explore the
cities and iconic landscapes that resemble levels and themes from
the original Spyro games. As part of the tour, the Spyro drone
chased sheep, fired up some BBQ and delivered an early copy of
Spyro Reignited Trilogy to fellow O.G. and entertainment
icon, Snoop Dogg. Highlights from the Spyro drone’s delivery to
Snoop Dogg can be found here.
“Fans have been asking Activision to bring Spyro back for some
time now. The response to Spyro Reignited Trilogy has been great
thus far, and we’re absolutely thrilled that we’re able to continue
to reimagine and reinvigorate some of the most iconic videogames
and characters of all time with our remastered experiences,” said
Steve Young, Chief Revenue Officer at Activision. “With this year
being the 20th anniversary of Spyro, there’s no better time to pay
homage to everyone’s favorite purple dragon.”
The Spyro community is invited to geek out and elevate their
fandom even further through the elite global partnerships from the
Activision Blizzard Consumer Products Group (ABCPG). Collaborations
with Funko, Traly Pins, Exquisite Gaming, KidRobot, USAopoly,
Trends International, Rubber Road, and Changes have created new
avenues for fans to share their love for the return of Spyro, the
original roast master. Spyro consumer products across apparel,
collectibles, figurines and more are now available at retailers
