Making its official Nintendo Switch debut during this year’s Nintendo
Direct at E3, Spyro Reignited Trilogy will mark the first
time all three original Spyro games will be available on a Nintendo
console. The trilogy will also mark the first Spyro appearance on a
Nintendo console since Skylanders® Imaginators in 2016,
and the first Spyro-led game on a Nintendo console in more than 11
years. With Nintendo Switch, players can jump, glide, charge and flame
their foes as they take on the challenges and adventures from the
remaster both on the go in handheld mode or from the comfort of their
homes in TV mode.
Spyro will also take his first ever flight on PC via Steam when
Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision
Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) brings the dynamic gaming collection in
fiery 4K and an uncapped framerate to delight both veteran and new
franchise fans.
Immaculately remade from the ground up, Spyro Reignited Trilogy
features the exciting and nostalgic gameplay that fans enjoyed years ago
with over 100 levels, enhanced reward sequences, as well as the
beautiful redesigns of Spyro’s hoard of zany dragons and other goofballs
(including Sparx the Dragonfly, Hunter, Sheila, Agent 9 and Sgt. Byrd)
and many more. The trilogy also includes enhanced environments, a
remastered soundtrack, updated controls, brand-new lighting and
recreated cinematics for added pizzazz in this beloved adventure. Lead
developer Toys For Bob is back at it again to bring the Spyro
Reignited Trilogy to Nintendo Switch, while the PC version will have
the talented developers at Iron Galaxy leading the charge.
“Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a love letter to the fans. Bringing
this nostalgic experience to the Nintendo Switch and Steam means that no
matter what gaming platform they choose, players will have the
opportunity to experience this incredibly fun and iconic game,” said
Michelle Fonseca, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing,
Activision. “Our goal is to transport players back to their precious
memories from the ‘90s, while also inviting new fans to dive into
Spyro’s world on whatever platform they desire.”
Spyro Reignited Trilogy demonstrates the cultivation of
epic game remastery that builds on the incredible experience of the
original games. The characters and personalities are creatively
re-developed with additional flavor allowing fans to reignite the flames
with Spyro and his crew. Players will experience a trilogy packed with
an astounding amount of detail, refreshed modern gameplay mechanics, and
smooth camera handling. For more information, please visit www.SpyroTheDragon.com
