A look at the Spyro series, according to Activision:
Originally developed by Insomniac and published by Sony, the beloved platformer first debuted in September 1998 on PlayStation, receiving critical acclaim. Fans quickly adopted the purple dragon as a new mascot worthy of Crash Bandicoot’s status, and a video game icon was born. Not only was the original release a triumphant success, but its original soundtrack also made a name for itself. Created by The Police drummer Stewart Copeland, the 49 tracks have also become a staple of the original games.
Toys for Bob released Spyro Reignited Trilogy in November 2018, which has been an important part of the series’ 25-year history spanning fourteen games. This includes a variety of Spyro-focused games, a reboot, three spin-offs, and a collection, all of which received positive reviews. Spyro fans rejoiced when the original three games would receive a remaster from Activision with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The game did not disappoint, receiving high marks across the board for its attention to detail, timeless charm, and stunning graphics, all while staying true to the original masterpiece.
Since its release, Spyro Reignited Trilogy has arrived on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. In addition to remastering the game, Toys for Bob remastered the original soundtrack, which Activision has officially released on Spotify to celebrate the anniversary.
An impressive milestone for the iconic Spyro series!
