Well, there we have it. After ranting about the slow trickle of ActiBlizz games coming to Game Pass right at the end of last week, the team goes ahead and announces another one - Spyro Reignited Trilogy is coming to the service tomorrow, November 12th. Following on from the addition of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy back in August, another set of family-friendly platformers will enter the library soon - and anyone who played these back in the day will no doubt love this new arrival.

We have a special sort of nostalgia for the original Spyro trilogy, you know. Yes, it never felt as big as Crash back in the PS1 days, and yes, some of those later releases in the franchise were a bit underwhelming, but man - these three games in particular are some brilliant 3D platformers that still hold up to this day.

We've seen a few small in-house arguments break out at Pure Xbox HQ recently about which of these ActiBlizz series' is best, and while we never quite agree on the true Activision platforming king, this lil' purple dragon definitely deserves his spot alongside his more popular bandicoot brother. Plus, these remasters are gorgeous, extremely polished and only further highlight how good Insomniac's original efforts were.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy errs more on the open-area 'collectathon' side of the platforming world, but these games never overdid it in that department. In the current era, this trilogy makes for a 3D platformer that feels modern to control - you get none of that jarring Crash clunkiness that comes from the different, admittedly more unique perspective that Crash plays from. Spyro is just good old over-the-shoulder platforming fun, and it'll be really easy to get back into in 2024.

That's why we reckon that this new Xbox Game Pass addition will be a true nostalgia trip for those of you who've embarked on these platforming journeys before. Spyro Reignited Trilogy plays exactly as you remember the old games playing, and that's brilliant for hopping back in and taking a trip down memory lane. New players will be welcomed with open arms, too - we mean it when we say that these '90s-born Spyro games still feel modern to this day.

So, 3D platformer fans from all walks of life will be wise to embrace this latest ActiBlizz Xbox Game Pass addition; we're certainly looking forward to seeing what you all have to say about it later this week. Spyro Reignited Trilogy finally comes to the Xbox Game Pass library on November 12th.
