The realization of Spyro remasters was originally teased in April 2018 when several media outlets received a package with a purple egg from someone under the alias 'Falcon McBob'. In 2017, developer Vicarious Visions stated that they were aware of how high the popular demand was for a revival of the classic Spyro trilogy following the release of their previous remaster, Crash Bandicoot N. Later that same year, Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price also stated that making a new Spyro game was a possibility. In July 2014, now former Sony Computer Entertainment chairman Andrew House stated that his team was considering bringing Spyro back, adding that he believed longtime fans would be interested in revisiting a character from their youth. Development Ī comparison between the first hub world of the original game (above) and the Reignited Trilogy version (below)ĭiscussions around the revival of Spyro the Dragon began as early as 2014. Additionally, a genie character in Ripto's Rage! had its name changed from 'Bombo' to 'Bob the Flagkeeper' to avoid referencing a stereotype of Arabs and Muslims common since before the publication of the original game.

Some enemies in the first game, for example, wielded semi-automatic weapons that shot bullets in the original PlayStation version of the game they shoot a gunge-like substance in the Reignited version. The remaster also made a few changes to content in the originals that was no longer considered appropriate. A few features included only in one or two of the original trilogy were unified across all three games in Reignited, such as the addition of 'skill points' in the first game, or Spyro's ability to roll from side-to-side in later installments. Each level is designed to match the size and layout of the levels in the originals.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy attempts to mostly remain faithful to the gameplay of the original games. Additionally, the games feature a number of collectibles which must be acquired to make progress, such as gems, which also act as currency, and dragon eggs. Spyro's sidekick, a dragonfly named Sparx, acts as an indicator of his health, defending him from a limited number of enemy attacks. Each game is a 3D platformer featuring the titular protagonist, a juvenile purple dragon named Spyro, as he attempts to restore peace in a set of worlds specific to each game by vanquishing enemies. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a remaster of the original Spyro trilogy developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
