Leaker: New Spyro RPG with Island Hub Could Debut at Xbox

A leaker known for earlier Rayman tips has shared details of an unconfirmed Spyro title that may be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase, scheduled for tomorrow at 6pm UK time. The information has not been confirmed by any publisher or developer.

The source described the game as including role-playing game mechanics, an island or beach-style hub area and a main antagonist who has appeared in past Spyro entries. The leaker also compared the project’s tone or design to another title called Shadow Legacy.

The same source said the project has been in development at Toys for Bob for several years but added it was unclear whether the studio still leads the work now. Toys for Bob developed the 2018 Spyro Reignited Trilogy, a remaster of the original Spyro games.

The leaker indicated the title would typically be announced during Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase. Microsoft and the Spyro franchise owner have not issued any statement to confirm the report.

If the report is accurate, the features listed by the source would distinguish the project from the remastered trilogy. The leaker did not provide specific platforms, release timing or the name of the returning villain.

The Xbox Games Showcase is the event the source named for an announcement. The showcase is scheduled to include multiple first- and third-party presentations; any official reveal would come from Microsoft or the game’s rights holder.

Until an official announcement is made, the details should be treated as a rumor. No developer or publisher has verified the leaker’s claims.
