Activision Blizzard and developer Toys for Bob used this year’s Spyro Community Day to unveil new concept art and promotional details for Spyro: A Realm Beyond, the first original Spyro title from Toys for Bob in nearly two decades.
The studio confirmed the game will launch at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in Spring 2027, and announced that Tom Kenny returns as the voice of Spyro.
Background and announcement
The publisher marked Spyro Community Day with a playful promotional stunt: custom burn-away cakes sent to fans, creators, and press that reveal a hidden image as the outer layer burns away.
Activision Blizzard said the reveal was designed to celebrate the franchise and its fanbase while offering a tangible preview of the new game.
Community and franchise context
Activision Blizzard emphasized that Spyro Community Day is an annual gathering of fans who have supported the purple dragon across generations.
The company noted that long-term enthusiasm from players, artists, and content creators has kept the franchise in the spotlight, and that the studio wanted this year’s Community Day to highlight both fan contributions and the upcoming title.
Arcadian Vale concept art
Toys for Bob shared concept artwork for a region called Arcadian Vale, describing it as a calm, vibrant valley featuring cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs, ancient stone structures, and rich greenery.
The developer emphasized attention to small environmental details and populating the world with charming creatures and interactive fauna to reinforce the series’ trademark warmth and whimsy.
What Toys for Bob says about the new game
Toys for Bob characterizes Spyro: A Realm Beyond as a fresh chapter for the franchise that introduces a brand-new world, expanded exploration, and new gameplay designed to evolve the classic Spyro experience.
