New 'Spyro' game gets release window, brand-new flight feature

June 8, 2026 - 02:52

The purple dragon is getting ready to take off again. A new "Spyro" game has been officially announced with a release window, and it is bringing a brand-new flight mechanic that could change how players explore its colorful worlds. The upcoming title, which has been rumored for months, is set to launch sometime in late 2025, according to the developer's latest statement.

This new entry marks a significant shift for the series. While past games allowed Spyro to glide short distances after charging off a ledge, the new feature gives him full, sustained flight. Players will now be able to take to the skies at will, soaring over levels and reaching areas that were previously out of bounds. Early previews suggest this will open up larger, more vertical environments designed specifically for aerial exploration.

The announcement has sparked excitement among longtime fans who have waited years for a proper follow-up. The last major "Spyro" release was the "Reignited Trilogy" in 2018, which remastered the original three PlayStation games. This new project is not a remaster but a completely original adventure, built from the ground up for modern consoles. More details, including the game's official title and a first look at gameplay, are expected to drop later this spring.
