After what feels like months of teasing, Activision officially announced the Spyro Reignited Trilogy earlier today. The compilation is in development at Toys For Bob, and it’ll include Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
Each game will receive a full high definition makeover by the developer, and the colorful environments will be “remade from the ground up” by the developer. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy will also sport “updated controls, brand-new lighting, and recreated cinematics for added flavor”:
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an awesome gaming experience that builds on the excellence of the first three games. Each level in Spyro Reignited Trilogy is mapped faithfully from the originals. The characters are creatively re-imagined with additional flair, allowing fans to rekindle the fire with Spyro and his crew like never before. Players will experience a trilogy that’s loaded with an astonishing amount of detail, refreshed modern day mechanics, full analog stick support, and smooth camera handling. Spyro Reignited Trilogy also re-imagines Stewart Copeland’s original soundtrack from the first three games.
“We’re deeply passionate about staying true to the legacy of the original three Spyro games with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy,” said Paul Yan, the Chief Creative Officer at Toys For Bob. “We’ve poured a lot of love into making the personalities and worlds feel just like fans remember them, while also keeping the game collection surprisingly fresh with lush, high definition detail. We’re bringing back the Spyro we all fell in love with 20 years ago.”
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One on September 21. A short trailer showcasing some of the improvements being made to the series (and which can also be accessed in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy by pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Square on the Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped title screen) has been embedded above.
