Spyro: A Realm Beyond announced for Switch 2, due 2027

Activision and developer Toys for Bob announced Spyro: A Realm Beyond for the Nintendo Switch 2. The studio describes the game as the first new mainline Spyro title since 2008 and has set a 2027 release window. The announcement emphasizes expanded aerial gameplay as a central feature.

The reveal trailer shows Spyro flying over wide, colorful landscapes, weaving between treetops, diving from large landmarks and firing fireballs at targets. The trailer introduces a new enemy faction called the Scavs and outlines a story in which Spyro is stranded and must find a way home. The trailer’s on-screen description reads: “When Spyro finds himself stranded, his journey to discover a way home is interrupted by the arrival of a vicious invading force known as the Scavs. Spyro must make new allies and rise to protect this realm before it’s changed forever. Feel the freedom of flight as you soar above vibrant landscapes, weave between treetops, dive off massive landmarks and wing your way through this new realm in Spyro’s boldest evolution yet. Carve your path through the skies and chain together dives, climbs and tight turns as you navigate the world your way. Crafted by Toys For Bob, this is a new evolution of Spyro, built to send the purple dragon soaring higher than ever before.”

Toys for Bob, the studio behind the Reignited Trilogy, is leading development for publisher Activision. Studio material highlights a flight system that lets players chain dives, climbs and tight turns to traverse environments. Footage released so far focuses on in-air movement and basic combat rather than traditional ground-based level progression.

The announcement specifies the Nintendo Switch 2 as the platform; no other platforms have been listed. No exact release date has been given beyond the 2027 window, and the publisher has not provided details on multiplayer, progression systems or total play length. Additional information is expected to be released closer to 2027.

The title is presented as a new mainline entry that expands aerial control while retaining Spyro’s fire-based attacks and a character-driven storyline.
