Spyro the Dragon: Reignited Trilogy Pre-Orders ‘Well Ahead’ of Expectations

During its quarterly financial conference call for investors and analysts, Activision Blizzard didn't have too much new details on its games. We did get a juicy tidbit about a new mode and expansion coming to Destiny 2, however; and it sounds like Spyro the Dragon's recently announced revival is catching fire across the gaming community.

The company revealed that its Spyro collection is getting huge attention from classic gamers and newcomers alike. It noted that pre-orders for the trilogy, being developed by Toys For Bob, have already skyrocketed "well ahead of expectations," although an exact number wasn't given at the time of the call.

In addition, Activision also made note of how well the game was doing on the social media side. It noted how well these remakes are received by fans, like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was when it arrived on PlayStation 4 last year. As a result, the initial trailer that debuted earlier this month has already gotten "tens of millions" of views across multiple social channels. An exact count wasn't given, but that's tremendous news all the same.

The game had been rumored for months before Activision finally announced it, complete with a trailer that pushed its hype to maximum levels. No doubt that Spyro the Dragon: Reignited Trilogy will play a big part in the publisher's E3 showcase in a few weeks.

The following three games will be included in the Trilogy:
