News Spyro the Dragon Tweet Ignites Hopes for a Sequel
We want to believe
Proving the timeless power of the IP, an affirmational Tweet from the official Spyro the Dragon account has caused a stir, fueling speculation that another entry in the series might be in the offing. The Spyro: Reignited Trilogy was released in 2018 on PS4, and outside of an appearance in Crash Team Rumble, we haven't seen much of...
News Spyro the Dragon Is Back... in Crash Team Rumble
Part of the game's third season of content
Believe it or not, the mostly forgotten PS5, PS4 multiplayer Wumpa Fruit collecting game Crash Team Rumble is closing in on its third season of content, and the big thing studio Toys for Bob has to talk about this time is Spyro the Dragon becoming a playable character. Coming on 7th December 2023, the...
News Xbox Now Owns Legendary PlayStation Series Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon
Woah
A curious consequence of Microsoft’s earth-shattering $70 billion buyout of Activision is that Xbox now owns legendary PlayStation franchises Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. Sony made these games in collaboration with Universal Interactive back in the 90s, but that company was acquired by Vivendi which later merged with Activision to...
Rumour Is the Crash Bandicoot 4 Art Book Hinting at a New Spyro Game?
Spyro 4 on the way?
Activision has successfully revitalised interest in its colourful mascot platformers. With Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon in its ranks, the publisher has brought them both back with a bang. After several excellent remakes of PlayStation classics, the orange marsupial was given a huge new game in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's...
News Activision Looking into Possibly Making New Crash and Spyro Content, More Retro Remakes
Cash Bandicoot
There's no question that Activision struck nostalgic gold with its Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon remakes. The N. Sane Trilogy, Reignited Trilogy, and the recent Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled have all been big sellers, so it makes total sense that the publisher will be chasing more retro-tinged games later down the line, as...
News Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Patch 1.03 Finally Adds Subtitles on PS4
That dragged on
One of the biggest criticisms that faced Spyro: Reignited Trilogy when it launched last year was the absence of subtitles. A basic feature in almost all games, the lack of such a fundamental accessibility function was pretty baffling, and left many players unimpressed. Thankfully, Activision has now finally put things right. A new...
News Lack of Subtitles in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is a Result of 'No Industry Standard'
Activision fuels the fire
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is out now, and it's a gorgeous remake of the beloved PSone platformers. While many are enjoying their time with Spyro and Sparx, some are left flabbergasted by the apparent lack of subtitles across the three games. Some minor characters in the games have them, but the main cutscenes don't, leaving...
Hands On Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Fires Up Our Nostalgia with Gorgeous Remake
Flamin' good
Spyro holds a special place in our heart. The little purple dragon that could sits right alongside Crash as one of PlayStation's first great platforming heroes, so it's a pleasure to see him given the same treatment with a current gen remake. Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, much like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, brings together all three...
Review Spyro the Dragon - The Classic Collectathon That Put Insomniac on the Map
Don't Gnorc it
While Insomniac Games has become one of PlayStation's most recognised developers, it cut its teeth with the little known PSone first-person shooter Disruptor, which launched in 1996. It was a DOOM clone among many others that populated the gaming landscape at the time, but there were aspects to it that made it stand out among the...
News A Spyro Drone Is Making Its Way Across the US to Deliver Spyro: Reignited Trilogy to Snoop Dogg
Sorry, what?

Ahead of the launch of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, Activision has created a Spyro-shaped drone, and it's embarked on a country-wide flight towards Snoop Dogg in order to deliver him a copy of the new game. It can also breathe fire. As far as marketing strategies go, this is...

News Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Bundle Spotted on Retailer Websites
Together at last
Now that we think of it, a Crash and Spyro game bundle makes so much sense. As Activision is responsible for the two beloved platformer characters, and seeing as they both have had their original trilogy of adventures remade for PS4, why not put them together? While nothing official has yet been said about such a product, multiple...
Rumour Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Physical Copies to Have Multiple Discs
Red Dead 2 style
This is a tricky one. Back before Spyro: Reignited Trilogy was delayed into November, it was discovered that only the first game would be on the Blu-Ray, and that players would have to download the second and third titles digitally. This caused a bit of a stink, as some people either don't have access to the internet, don't want
