Fans of the beloved dragon-themed platform series are buzzing with excitement this holiday season as reports suggest a new installment is underway. The whispers of a Spyro 4 game have emerged after a former developer from Toys for Bob, a studio under Activision, revealed on his LinkedIn profile that he worked on ‘Spyro’ for nearly two years, concluding in March 2024.
The Next Adventure for Spyro
The timeline of this mysterious project indicates it is unrelated to the Reignited Trilogy, which debuted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 13, 2018, and later made its way to PC and Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2019. This development strongly points toward a fresh chapter in the Spyro saga, crafted by the creative minds at Toys for Bob.
A New Era for Toys for Bob
Toys for Bob, based in Novato, California, had previously contributed to the development of Call of Duty Warzone in 2021. The studio later introduced the multiplayer game Crash Team Rumble in June 2023, which did not receive a warm reception. By March 2024, the studio had regained its independence from Activision, now under Microsoft’s ownership. However, rumors suggest their inaugural independent project might still involve collaboration with Microsoft, potentially bringing Spyro back into the limelight.
A curious detail is that the concept of Spyro 4 surfaced about five years ago. Back then, the art book for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, another Toys for Bob creation, featured new artwork connected to the charming purple dragon.
Current Deals and Offers
While anticipation builds for an official Spyro 4 announcement, fans can enjoy the Reignited Trilogy, currently available at a 65% discount on PC (Steam) and Xbox. Unfortunately, PlayStation users must purchase it at full price ($39.99) via the PlayStation Store, though it’s also accessible through the Game Pass Premium and Ultimate tiers.
