Read details on the franchise below:
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.
Since its launch, Spyro Reignited Trilogy has come to multiple platforms including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. In addition to remastering the game, Toys for Bob remastered the original soundtrack, which Activision has officially released to Spotify to celebrate the anniversary.

so where is our next Spyro with sales like that
4 years later? Man, that game has some legs.
People show over and over that demand for 3d platformers is pretty high yet most devs just won't make them anymore.
It is on sale for $13.99 pretty much every other week on one console or the other, so I'm sure a lot of people have purchased it on a whim when looking through the weekly games on sale. Still great sales, and deserving of a 4th game.
Many games could be always under 20 on all platforms and wouldn't even cross 2M =p
Very good sales - that's almost as much as the first three sold individually on PS1.
Fantastic numbers, I really liked the game.
Awesome news. Great retro series. Wonder if a Spyro 4 is in the works?
This came out of nowhere,
I thoroughly enjoyed it,
2 was my special nostalgic game coz it was my first 100% ps one game
Activision would be fools to not make a Spyro 4.
Wow! Very nice!
Honestly Spyro imo was more deserving of a sequel than Crash, the gameplay mechanics of the trilogy held up very well. Just needs a little more depth in Spyro 4.
I'm hoping Microsoft buying the IP heightens the chance of that happening
