Today during Xbox’s big summer showcase, Activision and Microsoft announced the next entry in the long-running and popular Spyro franchise. It’s called Spyro: A Realm Beyond, and it’s out next year on all platforms.
Here’s the trailer, which shows off some early gameplay.
Xbox calls this a “brand-new adventure” that is being developed by Toys for Bob. Here’s more info from Xbox’s official YouTube description for the trailer:
Feel the freedom of flight as you soar above vibrant landscapes, weave between treetops, dive off massive landmarks and wing your way through this new realm in Spyro ’s boldest evolution yet.
There have been rumors and leaks about a new Spyro game for a bit now, with Toys for Bob attached as the developer. The studio worked on the well-received Spyro remastered trilogy as well as Crash Bandicoot 4, and before all that, the Skylanders series, which was a spin-off of Spyro, so the folks there have a lot of experience with everyone’s favorite purple dragon. It’s nice to see Xbox and Activision investing in big, colorful platformers.
Spyro: A Realm Beyond is set to launch on Xbox, PS5, Switch 2, and PC in 2027.
