Spyro Reignited Trilogy has been officially confirmed with a trailer. Here are all the details of the press release:
"Remastering a classic is a unique undertaking for a game developer – unlike the creation of a new game where you have to find the fun, you’re starting with a game that already has proven, time-tested fun."
"The real challenge lies in how to remaster a beloved classic in such a way that is true to the spirit and feel of the original while also maximizing fidelity (art, animation, visual effects, sound effects, music, controls) and integrating quality-of-life improvements that modern players expect (analogue stick camera control, auto-save system, more fast-travel options, etc.)."
"Given the intense passion the fans have for the original trilogy, we are approaching development with reverence – a deep respect for all the decisions that went into making the original games."
"In the interest of getting the feel right, one of the first things we agreed upon internally was that Spyro’s original movement metrics — speeds and accelerations for walking, running, jumping, charging, gliding, flying, swimming, hovering, and more – should be matched as closely as possible."
"And in a similar vein, an authentic recreation of the platforming gameplay throughout the expansive and enchanted levels of the original trilogy would require the dimensions and collision details of the world geometry to come very close to matching the originals. Needless to say, the Dragon Realms of 2018 utilise considerably more polygons than their 1998 counterparts."
To celebrate Spyro's 20th anniversary, Activision warms the hearts of fans all over the world. As for Spyro's original reveal, from Monday, April 9th, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy players will be able to insert the legendary code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← →) in the Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped title screen to watch the trailer by Spyro Reignited Trilogy.

The collection will include the first three chapters of the series, Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and will be available for $ 39.99 / € 39.99, both digital and physical.
