Spyro: A Realm Beyond — Tom Kenny Returns, Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Set for Next Spring

Introduction

Activision has unveiled Spyro: A Realm Beyond, confirming the franchise’s return to the Nintendo ecosystem with a planned release on Nintendo Switch 2 next spring.

The announcement highlights a brand-new Spyro adventure that Activision positions as both accessible to new players and fresh for longtime fans.

At the time of the announcement, Activision is the publisher; a specific development studio credit has not been disclosed.

Tom Kenny returns as Spyro

Activision confirmed that veteran voice actor Tom Kenny will again voice Spyro in Spyro: A Realm Beyond.

Kenny has portrayed the character since Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and his return completes the vocal continuity many fans associate with the series.

Kenny’s wider career includes leading roles such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Simon Petrikov / The Ice King in Adventure Time, and both the Narrator and the Mayor in The Powerpuff Girls.

What Activision says about the game

In its announcement materials, Activision described Spyro: A Realm Beyond as an entirely original adventure that introduces a brand-new world, expanded opportunities for exploration, and gameplay changes that evolve the classic Spyro formula.

The publisher emphasized the game is designed to welcome a new generation of players while also offering longtime fans a distinctly fresh experience.

True dragon flight and gameplay focus

Activision also highlighted a specific gameplay change: the return of full flight mechanics.

The company stated the game will feature true dragon flight rather than limited gliding or confined flight stages, signaling a broader movement and exploration model for Spyro compared with earlier installments.

Release window and trailer

Spyro: A Realm Beyond was announced for Nintendo Switch 2, and Activision confirmed a release window of next spring.

A debut trailer was released alongside the announcement; players can view the trailer on major video platforms and Activision’s official channels for the first look at the game’s world and art direction.

What to watch for next

Expect further publisher updates on platform specifics, detailed developer credits, and footage showing the new flight mechanics as Activision rolls out more information ahead of the game’s launch on Nintendo Switch 2 next spring.
