It’s been four years since we last heard from the Spyro series, the classic purple dragon saga that has captivated many players in the past. Ever since the release of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, a collection that wanted to evoke titles from the past but beyond that gave no news of a new title in development.

In November, a rumor surfaced that development of a new Spyro title had already started in mid-2020. This rumor didn’t get widespread as it was just speculation that a studio like Toys for Bob, which develops other Crash Bandicoot games, was directing a dragon game. To put an end to all the rumours, today a very reliable new industry source has denied all of this and refused to admit the possibility of a game being made.

Spyro, a classic saga that time has forgotten

Sylux, a well-known industry whistleblower, was asked about the rumors and clarified that none of them were true. Now, with this sad news, we face a 3D platformer drought. Games like Banjo-kazooie, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and even Conker are on the decline. Since Microsoft bought Rare, these games, which were the studio’s flagships, have become irrelevant and have become just cult, something that could be undone today, but it looks like that won’t be the case.

Spyro’s case is the same, with Activision in the driver’s seat, interest in Crash Bandicoot seems to have eclipsed the purple dragon and relegated him to mere cameos in other developers’ games. So if you want a brand new Spyro game, you can wait. In the meantime, and in case you haven’t tried them yet, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is available on all platforms at a very affordable price.
