The rumors of Activision bringing a remastered version of Spyro the Dragon to consoles has finally been set in stone. Theย Spyro Reignited Trilogyย will be heading to PlayStation 4 and
Activision announced earlier this week that the remaster will include the three original games:ย Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Riptoโs Rage, Spyro: Year of the Dragon.ย In the 90’s, Insomniac Games made the original games, but the remaster has been built from scratch by lead developer Toys for Bob, the developer behind Skylanders. It will feature “improved environments, updated controls, brand-new lighting and recreated cinematics,” and old favorites, like Sparx the Firefly and Sheila, have been “creatively re-imagined with additional flair.”
There are over 100 levels in the remaster, and, according to a press release from Activision, they have all been faithfully recreated from the original. In case your nostalgia wasn’t strong enough, Tom Kenny will be returning to voice Spyro forย Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rageย andย Spyro: Year of the Dragon, andย Stewart Copeland will remaster the soundtrack.
Paul Yan, Chief Creative Director for theย Spyro Reignited Trilogy,ย wrote:
We’re deeply passionate about stayingย true to the legacy of the original three Spyroย games with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.ย We’ve poured a lot of love into making the personalitiesย andย worlds feel just like fans remember them,ย while also keeping the game collectionย surprisingly freshย with lush,ย high definitionย detail. We’re bringing back the Spyro we all fell in love with 20 years ago.
In celebration of Spyro’s 20th anniversary, the developers inserted a Spyro easter egg inย Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.ย If you insert the following codeย (โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ square) in the menu screen ofย Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped,ย the newest trailer forย Spyro Reignited Trilogyย will start to play.
