Activision announced a new entry in the Spyro series, titled 'Spyro A Realm Beyond,' during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 livestream on June 8.

The title is scheduled for release in spring 2027. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), and Nintendo Switch 2. The game will be playable from day one on Xbox Game Pass. The series began with its first installment on PlayStation in 1998 and has continued through various developers. The announcement was part of a larger showcase that included other titles such as 'Gears of War: E-Day' and 'Persona 6.'
The Xbox Games Showcase 2026, which began at 2:00 AM JST on June 8, featured the reveal of 'Spyro A Realm Beyond' alongside other major titles like 'Gears of War: E-Day' and 'Persona 6.' The trailer showed Spyro leaping across stages with agile action, and hinted at a new antagonist with the line 'the rise of a new evil.' Sources agree on the spring 2027 release window and the multiplatform launch, though one source listed Xbox One while another omitted it, and one source included Nintendo Switch 2 while others did not. The game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Activision has not yet detailed specific gameplay mechanics or story elements beyond the teaser. The series, which began in 1998, has seen remakes and spin-offs but not a wholly new mainline entry in recent years.
