The account has been retweeting many fan’s favorite Spyro memories, o in other words, its Twitter timeline is currently a rush of nostalgia and will make you feel very old.
For those that don’t know: Spyro is a 3D platforming series that debuted on this day, 20 years ago, in 1998 on PlayStation via the release of Spyro the Dragon. Since its introduction, the series has spawned many sequels and spin-offs. And while recently the series was reserved to just toys-to-life, it is making a comeback, in time for its 20th birthday, with the release of Spryo Reignited Triology, which is taking the original trilogy of the games and remaking them so they look like a product of 2018 and not the late 90s.
If the remake re-release does well enough, hopefully we will see a brand-new entry in the series. I know I would personally love that.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is poised to release on November 13 via the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For more news, media, and information on the game, be sure to check out our previous coverage of it by clicking here.
