The story so far
What we know about Spyro: A Realm Beyond
Spyro: A Realm Beyond is a new original Spyro adventure developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision. It was announced on 7 June 2026 and is described as the first original Spyro game in nearly two decades. Tom Kenny returns to voice the purple dragon.
The official description has Spyro stranded in a strange realm, searching for a way home. His journey is interrupted by an invading force known as the Scavs, and he has to make allies and defend the realm before it is changed forever. The main pitch is true dragon flight: soaring over landscapes, weaving between treetops, diving off landmarks and chaining dives, climbs and tight turns, in place of the gliding and limited flight levels of earlier games.
A first region, Arcadian Vale, has been shown, a calm, nature-focused area with waterfalls and ancient stone structures. The game is planned for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC for a Spring 2027 window, with no exact date announced yet. It can be wishlisted on digital storefronts.
