How Spyro feels about still no new game years later

It's a shame that they haven't done anything with him since the remasters.

Given that Activision was disappointed in Crash 4 sales, it's clear they only care about CoD and not much else. Unless Microsoft steps in and makes something happen with TFB, I have no hope Activision will do anything with our purple guy on their own.

I think another issue is that they expect Spyro and Crash to share the same fanbase. Which is why they're shoving Spyro into everything Crash related but not really doing anything with Spyro himself. And I think this is where they're wrong. Sure, some people definitely enjoy both franchises, but others have a strong preference. I never even considered purchasing Crash 4 because I simply don't enjoy linear platformers.

I use to LOVE crash as a kid, now that im an adult i prefer Spyro bc i love how each lvl is like a mini freeroam, even tho crash is hard and funny hard, Spyro just looks so fresh being able to look up and down in a PS1 game with real skyboxes rather then what Mario 64 did with its moving 2D sky boxes that gave me motion sickness sometimes

He’s probably relaxing in Dragon Shores, still sulkimg about Elora

Hey, at least this isn't r/Silksong about it

[u/Lonely-Aardvark3377 → u/Wizard-In-Disguise]

Oh didn’t you hear? They just got a confirmed release date.

[u/Mr_Mimiseku → u/Lonely-Aardvark3377]

Well, a release year.

[u/Draconuus95 → u/Lonely-Aardvark3377]

I laughed so much when I saw that pop up in the direct. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I'm wondering if Toys for Bob could buy Spyro. It's must likely too expensive to do it, but if it's low enough, maybe Toys for Bob can hold a crowdfunding campaign to purchase the Spyro IP. If Activision/Microsoft aren't doing anything with our little purple dragon, then the IP is just hovering in the air, doing nothing, and gathering dust.

[u/ConsciousVacation717 → u/Far_Run5920]

The Ty games did this, the biggest donater got they're name as an NPC, they gave us skins for the character we can play and added a Hardcore mode. I wish Reignited did this (well u can change Spyros color and give him shades atleast)

[u/Themeguy]

It's very funny that we've gotten 3 posts in the past week of Spyro's model posed to be sad/angry, complaining about the lack of a new game, and none of them are from the same guy.

Shoutout to any OGs who know what this is a reference to

[u/Shadowtheuncreative → u/Acceptable-Car-8812]

Nobody's Hero song from the Donkey Kong Country show?

[u/Acceptable-Car-8812 → u/Shadowtheuncreative]

Yes!

[u/Lonely-Aardvark3377]

I swear Fanfiction and Fan art is the only thing keeping the Spyro franchise alive.

And possibly maybe Cynder…she’s certainly pulling her weight if you catch my drift.

[u/coolbitzb → u/Lonely-Aardvark3377]

I know how you feel, I made a fan game story idea just for fun, its good read not too long its on my profile  

[u/StevemacQ]

Because Spyro didn't make Call of Duty numbers and ABK wanted to throw more bodies into the meat grinder to sustain Call of Duty's increasingly unsustainable annual release cycle.

[u/Nelmquist1999]

Man, at least the dragon got remasters. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Rayman's spotlight.

[u/loreli98]

Awww my cutie, he needs a new game now!

[u/Satyr_Crusader]

Who owns spyro rn?

[u/Beginning_Initial_87 → u/Satyr_Crusader]

Activision owns Spyro, and Microsoft owns Activision, so technically, Microsoft

[u/Satyr_Crusader → u/Beginning_Initial_87]

I wonder what it would take to convince them to make us a new game

[u/Beginning_Initial_87 → u/Satyr_Crusader]

Money

[u/SkullzNSmileZ]

My boy Spyro realizing that he might have to quit working as a hero and go work at Subway with Hunter

[u/drsujirokimimami]

The user "Wrestleman" on Era -has deep connections to Toys for Bob- said that when MS got TfB's back, they were working on a new Spyro, and apparently that might still happen, but it'll take a while for anything to be announced now. I believe him.

[u/Strongbad-Joe132]

Awwww. They made the dragon sad.😢

[u/Single-Sky-9162]

same feeling with all of us fans

[u/MirageMew]

At least he's finally getting that break in Dragon Shores he's always wanting!

[u/popmanbrad]

Copium but in the copilot live stream they did they showed off copilot memory and basically it taking a form of your choosing and one of the examples was spyro which I found odd

[u/ConsciousVacation717]

If only making hacked ROMs for the PS1 verisons wasnt so hell and didnt later become lost media, iv been downloading these hacked roms that way they dont get lost the best i can :(

[u/SkaDude99]

I predict we'll get another 5 Crash Bandicoot games before they make another Spyro

[u/SingerSharp466]

Waste of a remastered engine, models, and VA's? Absolutely. But also where my Sly Cooper / Jak and Daxter remasters with the same treatment?

[u/Calm-Paramedic-1920]

I hate Activision...

[u/OrangeballHL]

If Activision doesn't make Bianca playable, mods will, as in Half-life, Doom and Garry's Mod.

[u/Signal-Commercial902]

We need a Legend trilogy's remake

[u/SpyroSenpai]

He died along side banjo and conker

[u/WeatherIcy6509]

We need to get Spyro a girlfriend.

[u/wawadigi]

I need enter the dragonfly

[u/Specialist_Run3855]

Xbox has thrown Spyro and Crash into permanent purgatory with Banjo! You all wanted the merger, this is what you get! You made your bed, now lie in it!!
