Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Spyro: A Realm Beyond is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, marking the first new original Spyro title tied to Toys for Bob in nearly two decades, according to the publisher.
The game is scheduled to launch worldwide at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop in Spring 2027, and the announcement was released alongside a trailer and official screenshots.
Developer and cast
Toys for Bob is credited as the developer on the project.
Activision Blizzard notes that Toys for Bob is leading the creation of what the publisher describes as the first original Spyro game in almost 20 years.
Veteran voice actor Tom Kenny will return to voice Spyro in this new entry.
Story and gameplay overview
Activision Blizzard outlined the game's premise, explaining that Spyro becomes stranded and must find a way home while confronting a hostile invading force known as the Scavs.
The publisher said Spyro will form new alliances and take on a protective role for the realm as it faces permanent change.
On gameplay and movement, the publisher emphasized expanded traversal and aerial mechanics.
They described a renewed focus on flight freedom—allowing players to soar over vibrant environments, weave between treetops, dive from large landmarks, and chain together maneuvers such as dives, climbs, and tight turns.
Toys for Bob framed these systems as an evolution of the classic Spyro experience, aiming to broaden exploration and introduce new gameplay elements.
Platforms and release
Spyro: A Realm Beyond is confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 and will be available both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop.
The global release window is Spring 2027.
No specific day or month has been provided by Activision Blizzard at the time of the announcement.
What the announcement means for fans
For long-time Spyro fans and Nintendo Switch players, the title represents a notable return of the purple dragon in a newly developed, original adventure.
With Toys for Bob at the helm and Tom Kenny back as Spyro's voice, the project signals a deliberate effort by Activision Blizzard to position the franchise on Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
Further information, including detailed feature lists, platforms beyond Nintendo Switch 2 (if any), and exact release dates, will come from Activision Blizzard in future updates.
For now, Spring 2027 is the confirmed window and the Nintendo eShop will host the digital release upon launch.
