Confirmation regarding a potential new entry in the Spyro the Dragon franchise may surface before the year concludes. With the Reignited Trilogy surpassing the 10 million sales milestone, the arrival of a completely original installment seems like a natural progression for the series.
Concept artist Donald Yatomi, who contributed to Toys for Bob from August 2022 to March 2024, recently listed work on a “new Spyro game” in his professional portfolio. His notes highlight that during his tenure with Activision Blizzard, the studio’s creative focus extended far beyond supporting the Call of Duty machine.
While influencer Canadian Guy Eh suggests these references might simply point to Spyro’s appearance in Crash Team Rumble, industry observers note that a standalone project would typically be categorized more distinctly in a professional portfolio or LinkedIn profile.
Adding weight to the rumors, veteran designer Toby Schadt—who has spent over 26 years at Toys for Bob—indicated that he concluded his work on Crash Team Rumble in December 2023 to transition into a high-profile, unannounced project.
Even if an official announcement materializes early next year, perhaps during an event like the Xbox Developer Direct, fans should be prepared for a substantial wait before the purple dragon makes his full-scale return.
