Spyro the Dragon Fans Rejoice: Spyro Reignited Trilogy Coming to Xbox Game Pass
Exciting news is on the horizon for fans of the beloved purple dragon! Xbox has officially confirmed that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy will be available on Xbox Game Pass starting tomorrow, November 12th. This announcement follows a tantalizing tease earlier in the day, and it promises to bring the nostalgia of Spyro back to gamers across multiple platforms. Whether you’re a console player, a PC enthusiast, or someone who enjoys gaming on the cloud, if you subscribe to Game Pass Standard, Ultimate, or PC, you’ll have access to this remastered collection.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy, released in 2018, is a remaster of the first three games in the iconic series: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Originally exclusive to the PlayStation, these games have been lovingly reimagined by Toys for Bob, with input from the original developers at Insomniac Games. The remaster stays true to the spirit of the originals while introducing modern enhancements that elevate the gameplay experience.
One of the most notable improvements is the stunning graphic overhaul. Characters have been redesigned, and the worlds have been transformed into vibrant, visually appealing landscapes that breathe new life into the classic levels. For those who grew up playing these games, the remastered versions evoke a sense of nostalgia while also feeling fresh and engaging.
The Impact of Xbox’s Acquisition
The rights to the Spyro the Dragon franchise were acquired by Xbox as part of its purchase of Activision Blizzard last year. Since this acquisition, Xbox Game Pass has been steadily expanding its library with a variety of Activision titles, including the Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy and several entries from the Call of Duty series. The addition of Spyro Reignited Trilogy marks another significant step in this expansion, and it raises hopes for even more classic titles to join the Game Pass lineup in the future.
A Bright Future for Toys for Bob
Following the acquisition, Toys for Bob has transitioned to an independent studio, allowing them greater creative freedom in their projects. While they are no longer under the Activision umbrella, their relationship with Xbox remains strong, as evidenced by their next game being published by Xbox Game Studios. Speculation is rife regarding what this new project might entail, with many fans hoping for a continuation of the Spyro or Crash Bandicoot franchises.
The studio has shown a clear affinity for these characters, as they are prominently featured on their website. While details about their upcoming game remain under wraps, the excitement surrounding the potential return of these iconic characters is palpable among fans.
Join the Celebration
With the Spyro Reignited Trilogy making its way to Xbox Game Pass, fans have a fantastic opportunity to revisit the enchanting worlds of Spyro. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, this remastered collection offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern gaming.
