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.”
