Spyro Reignited Trilogy Reaches an Impressive Sales Milestone
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy collects the first Spyro the Dragon, Ripto’s Rage, and Year of the Dragon into one bundle, and sales have surpassed 10 million worldwide. Activision has revealed that there will be many surprises for all fans to enjoy in celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary. For one, the soundtrack of the entire trilogy is finally available on Spotify. Activision also released the following statement discussing the history of the franchise:
“Originally developed by Insomniac and published by Sony, the beloved platformer first debuted in September 1998 on PlayStation to critical acclaim. Fans quickly adopted the purple dragon as a new mascot worthy of Crash Bandicoot’s status, and a video game icon was born. Not only was the original launch a triumphant success, but its original soundtrack made a name for itself. Created by The Police drummer, Stewart Copeland, the 49-tracks have also become a staple of the original games.
Toys for Bob launched the Spyro Reignited Trilogy in November of 2018 which has been a big part of the series’ 25-year history that spans fourteen games. This includes a range of Spyro-focused games, a reboot, three spin-offs, and one collection—all of which received positive reviews. Spyro fans rejoiced when the original first three games would be receiving a remaster from Activision with Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The game did not disappoint—receiving high scores across the board for its attention to detail, timeless charm, and stunning graphics, all while remaining faithful to the original masterpiece.”
Lastly, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is available now on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is also available on Steam for $9.99 for a limited time.
