Toys for Bob, the California studio, is developing a new Spyro title for release in spring 2027, marking the first original game in the series since 2008. The project, announced at Microsoft’s Xbox Game Showcase, is being produced in collaboration with Activision and will come to Xbox, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Multiple outlets report that the game is titled “Spyro: Realms Beyond,” sometimes described with a closely related subtitle (“A Real Beyond”). The game features a redesigned version of Spyro while keeping key character traits, including the actor Tom Kenny reprising his role as the character’s voice. A major gameplay change is that players can fly at any time, reflecting the game’s focus on leveraging dragon mechanics. Reported details include decisions around flight and movement, with actions such as diving to build speed, using fire-breath to create effects like lighting campfires, and generating updrafts to gain lift before flapping. Overall, coverage frames the new game as a modern continuation of the classic 3D platformer, aimed at both long-time fans and new players.
