Around two weeks ago some rumors surfaced regarding the release of Spyro Reignited Trilogy for PC, due to the title being rated by the Taiwanese ratings board. Now, it seems it’s also heading to another console.
According to a source from GoNintendo, it would seem that Spyro Reignited Trilogy is getting a release on the Nintendo Switch. The source is said to be reliable, and has constantly delivered spot-on information to the publication over the years. That said, it’s still important to take this news with the biggest grain of salt, as, you know, it’s still just a rumor.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Since we got some almost confirmed rumors of Spyro Reignited Trilogy coming to PC, surely, we might see a release for the Nintendo Switch? I’m here to tell you that a PC release is actually feasible, since there was a cover shown on the Taiwanese ratings board. In the said cover, it listed Iron Galaxy as the developer for Spyro Reignited Trilogy on PC, the same studio that did Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy for PC a year after its release on consoles. The release for the Switch, as much as I hate to admit it, is based entirely on hearsay. While it’s not entirely within the realm of impossibility, I would most definitely wait for something more concrete to be excited about.
It’s not like there’s nothing going on for both the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon franchises either. Just last week, as quoted in an investors’ call meeting, Activision has reiterated that both Crash and Spyro are flagship brands for the company, meaning that they’re basically on the same level as Call of Duty.
This only means that we will inevitably see more Crash and Spyro games in the future. It’s not that surprising that Activision made that statement, either; both Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy sold very well for being remasters of old IPs. Continuing to bank on that nostalgia could only mean good things for both franchises, and this in turn could mean new games across all platforms, even the Switch.
