The classic PlayStation series 'Spyro the Dragon' returns this September, and it's getting a huge makeover

Apr 6, 2018, 02:06 IST

"Spyro Reignited Trilogy" features the first three "Spyro the Dragon" games.

That includes "Spyro the Dragon," "Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!" and "Spyro: Year of the Dragon."

Like "Crash Bandicoot" before it, "Spyro Reignited Trilogy" is a major re-mastering of a classic franchise. The graphical enhancements are vast leaps in detail, lighting, fidelity, and much more.

The improvements are so noticeable because of the huge differences in technology since "Spyro" last dominated PlayStation consoles in the late 1990s.

If you've never played the "Spyro" series, you're in for a treat — it's a relatively simple, colorful 3D platforming game along the lines of "Super Mario 64" or "Banjo-Kazooie."

The game's tone is Pixar-esque — silly and smart and sarcastic. All of the s-based adjectives.

"Spyro Reignited Trilogy" costs $40, and is set to arrive on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 21. Check out the debut trailer right here:
