And the Spyro nostalgia beat doesn’t end there! Franchise fans
can go down music memory lane as the Spyro Reignited Trilogy
brings a new in-game audio feature that allows players to switch
between Copeland’s original and the newly remastered soundtracks.
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.
“Creating new music for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy has
been incredibly fun and nostalgic for me,” said Stewart Copeland,
acclaimed musician (The Police), film score writer and
composer. “Seeing how the fans loved the original series and
soundtrack was a very heart-warming experience 20 years ago, and
being able to revisit that fun with the new game has brought things
full circle. I can’t wait for players to hear the new intro title
track and enjoy the option to play the remastered game to my
original music when the trilogy arrives this fall. ‘Tiger Train’
includes some of my favorite themes from the original soundtrack,
which I’m sure the Spyro faithful will appreciate!”
Spyro Reignited Trilogy developer Toys for Bob was joined
today by Stewart Copeland; key members of Insomniac Games,
including Ted Price, Brian Hastings and Brian Allgeier, as well as
Tom Kenny (the voice of Spyro) and Michael John (producer at
Universal Interactive Studios on the original Spyro trilogy) to
share their favorite moments creating and remastering one of the
most beloved trilogies in video game history. During the panel,
fans were also treated to a first look at remastered gameplay
footage from Spyro™ 2: Ripto’s Rage!
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a dynamic gaming collection
that will have both veteran and new franchise fans “Spyro-ing” out
of control when it releases September 21, 2018. Players will feel
the fully remastered fire of the three original Spyro™ games that
