Honestly, getting a Spyro/Crash crossover instead of Spyro 4 after waiting for so long would be kind of insulting. It would just prove to me that they don’t believe that Spyro can stand on his own, and he needs to rely on the Crash franchise to stay profitable. Not all of us are Crash fans either. They’ve used Spyro to boost Crash’s popularity three times in the last 5 years, now it’s time for Spyro to get his own game.
A crossover game could still be cool to see don't get me wrong. But wait till spyro actually gets a new game and then maybe think about a spyro crash crossover game
It would not prove they think Spyro can’t stand on his own. It would just mean they think they have a good idea to cross them over. And if they think that, so what? You act like you’re insulted and they shouldn’t think that lol if they think that they probably have a good reason based on the sales of the reignited trilogy as opposed to the insane trilogy. They wouldn’t make that up if they did that. But that would not mean they think that if the game is crossover. I’d love for them to come out with crash bandicoot five and spiral four in the same year and set up crossover. Not make it feel like it’s being introduced at the beginning of the crossover game, but it’s being introduced all through the entire game before the crossovers. I’d love a crash bandicoot movie that as good as the Mario movie and a Pokémon movie that’s as good as the Mario movie and Spiro in the crash bandicoot movie and then give us a smash Brothers film with all of these films. I think that would be really cool. Apparently I’m 12 years old…
Also, they aren’t using Spyro to boost crashes popularity. If anything is the reverse. But maybe they aren’t really using any of them to boost any of their popularity and they’re not saying one is better than the other. It’s just a really cool event they like to do in the games because it’s been a part of their history forever. Excited for a new game and a new game ASAP. That’s fine but everything else you’re saying it is incorrect and sounds kind of petty.
Not only due to YOTD but the year also ending with *4,* huge year of opportunity and I'm giving up hope entirely if nothing is at least officially announced that year.
I agree this year. I love Spyro but I’m more excited for a new crash game that’s either a sequel to crash team racing nitro fuel or another platform and I’d rather have that. I also think nitro fuel had the perfect art style. I love the more Pixar animation as opposed to this kind of Playdo look. I love that the rocks looks pretty real and some of the metal looked pretty real and there was a little more detail to the fur. I think nitro fuel had it just right. At least two is for Bob, it genuinely looks like it could be a well aged 360 game. It’s got a timeless graphics I’d say but they should at least put more work into this art style and make sure it’s very polished and finished looking.
@@PESHajnal30 unless something crazy happens it’s definitely coming eventually. So if it’s not next year there’s always 2025 but I think it’ll be next year. I think we might get a new crash bandicoot game also. I wouldn’t mind playing crash team rumble but I paid for it and it doesn’t let me play it anymore and says I need to purchase it. Lol.
Not only that, but it would also be perfect launch title for next gen console successor to Nintendo Switch. Can't say no to potentially huge sale boost
I was sure Spyro 4 was going to get announced at The Game Awards. It was a perfect cross-promotion opportunity. My next guess is a release in September 2024, since it seems to be the Spyro month and they had such a long time by now to develop it, as well is giving us a lot of teasers, in addition to this data mine with the new assets.
It’s coming my friend. Be excited. I think they’ll give us more teases first. And they may have wanted to come out a year or two ago and something happened and they had to push it back. They may be almost finished, and I have to push it back again. Lol. It’s not quite the priority. Certain franchises are, of course.
If they changed Elora's design the way they have, it might even be because she could be playable in Spyro 4. In Reignited she only needed to move in a few ways for cutscenes and a few in game animations. If she's playable now, they might would need to completely overhaul her base model to make her move right in game.
@@Mike14264 I imagine a more acrobatic version of Sheela. Like being able to jump higher and move quickly in percarious places so up mountains or through forests/jungles. And since she has hands, she'd be able to use equipment built by the professor. And I imagine Hunter would be good for speed ways and sports.
Crash Team Racing lead into Crash 4. It makes sense if Rumble leads into Spyro 4. I wonder if these new portal power ups and Ripto will be tied into it as well
I think this new models could potentially lead to a new Spyro game. Maybe Toys For Bob will give out these new models as a hint for Spyro 4? Maybe they had to update the blue thief to make it more friendly than the Reignited model? The way I see it is that the blue thief is like the original blue thief from the original Spyro games.
I could’ve fathom why they make these new models if they did not have a new game coming. Maybe they couldn’t port them over or there were something with the rights that we just don’t know all the top of our head… maybe they just really wanted to change the models but I think there’s a new game coming. it’s weird they’re using concepts from the older games in the new games. Were there egg thieves and all three original games? I can’t remember for some reason. If he’s just in the first game, maybe it doesn’t mean a new game is coming… or they want to bring back for the game. I love the thieves.
It was weird that Spyro 4 didn't get announced at the Game Awards. I feel like if it's going to be out by the end of 2024 it's going to be announced in like February.
Why? They could announce and release it in three months or six months from the announcement. They might announce it this month or next month or February and release it in summer.
Hey CGE! I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before but I was just replaying the reignited trilogy and ONLY just noticed that the platinum trophy for Year of the Dragon is called “Party like it’s 2024” and with 2024 being the Chinese Year of the Dragon…coincidence?!
Spyro 4 is already destined to happen. Spyro being in CT Rumble is like basically a confirmation. Speaking of CT Rumble can’t wait for the jam packed events today.
To be fair, he was also in nitro fuel, and we haven’t gotten anything yet. But I do agree. I think they put him in this to get people excited for the new game but I think the new designs for elora especially are going to be for the new game
It's not a confirmation. That's like saying Johnny Bravo makes a cameo in some modern day cartoon. It's meant as a throwback/reference for those that know of him and watched that show (like me). It does not mean he's getting another cartoon. Until the Devs/those that own the IP say so, always assume there won't be another one.
It’s definitely interesting that they’d redo the models. Looks like some folks in the comments think it’s to improve poly count, but it doesn’t necessarily seem like the new models would be any more performant than the old ones. There’s ways to make models more performant without totally redoing them. Another thing I personally noticed is the buildings behind Spyro’s hero profile at 3:15. I can’t recognize them as being from any existing Spyro (or Crash) game. I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am, but that struck me as strange and new when I first saw it.
There is no way they wouldn’t change Spyro and ripto but would change elora for something like that. Elora looks older and more like an adult now. She looks like she was 13 and human years and it may be more like 17 or 18 now. I figured they’d age Spyro ever so slightly and subtlety if they were going to age his friends. Ripto may not be in the sequel and dragons probably live 1000 years so he may not age very much in five years like elora. She may only live to be 100 or two, so she probably ages quicker? The egg thieves makes sense to get a redesign if they are in a new game. They are different from the ones we fought after all. But why would they bring the crystal dragons back? That makes me think maybe they just want new models. I don’t know if that’s a concept that was in other games outside of the original trilogy. If so, I think it’s safe to say they’re bringing that back for the fourth game. I really want crash bandicoot five and Spyro four to set up crossover game! And give us a Pokémon movie as good as the Mario movie with the same animation and the same thing with crash bandicoot and then give us a smash Brothers movie lol I’m sorry I’m 12 apparently
Lol it's not happening. Activision missed the announcement window. Just get used to it. As long as Activision is in charge, there will never be a new Spyro game.
@@stopdroproll7258 Except Activision now being owned by Microsoft means that Toys For Bob now has the free reign to make whatever the hell they want. It's not as impossible now.
All these new assets definitely gives me vibes that a new Spyro is indeed in the making! I sure hope so anyways, it's been a long time since he's had his chance at a 'proper' 4th game, here's hoping! I love Elora's new look in Rumble too. she looks great! :D closer to the original concept art of her as well!
I think the new Thief design was just made to tone down the polygon count, and I might be wrong, but I think that the Dragon Statue model is just from Skylanders
Think so too. Ripto's model also got a change even I didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me. The end of his cape is smooth and round while in reignited it had this curly tip at the end of it. It was probably changed for the same reason. It's an online game so many models will have to be simplified.
@@TundravioletAt least for PS4 and Xbox One. They could've kept the Hi-Res models for PS5 and Xbox Series X as they could handle more detail without performance drops.
Could be. But elora has to be because of a new game. I’d bet $100 lol Ripto may not be in the sequel and Spyro may not age as quickly as elora since dragons, probably live a really long time compared to some type of furry mammal. Or maybe they really don’t want to spoil his design for the new game since he’s the main character… And again, riptide was some sort of reptile or dinosaur or dragon thing so he lives probably longer it may not age either if he’s in the next game! I don’t doubt a game is coming, but I do think this is an indicator.
ive never seen a dragon statue like that in skylanders! i could have missed it, but based on art style alone i can almost guarantee that the statue model is not skylanders. far too proportional. hahaha
One thing I've noticed, there is ZERO new content scheduled for February this season. Like there's usually a bit of a lull near the final month of every season but there's usually SOMETHING, and this season had plenty content to spread out (we're getting minigames and maps in the same week). It's suspicious they crammed everything in at the start before that specific date, like they maybe have a little surprise planned for then.
Pretty sure 'Dragonessence' was obvious as to what it was the second you heard it. The asset is a misdirection: It's clearly the name of Cynder's goth-metal band. :p
@@kirtheweasel what are you talking about? There are so many times they could announce it at so many different game shows because they have tons of these things every year. After they announce a game like crash or Spyro, it takes three months to six months to be released… what you said is not only not evidence or proof it’s not even good reasoning, or logic or an argument. Even if you happen to be right, what you said is not an indicator you are right.
I'm willing to wait, but it would be REALLY nice if they could just announce it. It's hurting my soul having to go through this back and forth mental torment of thinking It's happening and then not thinking it's happening over and over and over again... 😫 it's mentally exhausting. Please, just confirm clearly whether he is getting a game or not. SOONER than later.
Something for future reference. Probably doesn't mean anything for this video, BUT: If you pause the game on the main menu, There's an option called "Game Guide". This has a bunch of things in it, Most importantly here: Explanations for the badges, How to get them for example. Here's the thing. It actually shows all badges for the maps and characters of that season, *Including ones not yet released.* It's through this, That it's revealed that Elora is going to be a healer character, With her personal badge mentioning a "Healing pulse." Also, One of the maps has a relic station involving Moneybags. Makes me think that for the Spyro maps, The Wumpa are going to be switched out for gems, And you can kill the Thieves in order to get the gems they have.
For those wondering, The Badges for unreleased content and their descriptions are as follows, If somebody wants to boot up their game and follow the above instructions you can vouch for me: *Elora's Hero badge* THE HEAL DEAL: Heal allies for 100 health with a single Heal Aura. *Relic Station Badges* FAIRY: Fairies increases your damage, defence, and knockback strength. ICE WIZARDS: Ice Wizards roam their domain and freeze enemies with frost attacks. MONEYBAGS: Steal a sack of gems from Moneybags! ENCHANTED TOWER: Bring the tower to life to fire arrows at nearby enemies. *Epic Relic Station Badges* GULP: Gulp rains terror from the sky and causes earthquakes with his slams. ELEMENTAL ORBS*: Collect elemental orbs to harness their powers! *The Elemental Orbs are the ones from Ripto's boss fight.
*HOLD THE PHONE!!* I just checked "Party mode", There's some badges here not used anywhere else. My guess based on them gives me the idea that they may be old modes on new maps: JUICER: Deliver ingredients (earnable multiple times per match)* FOREST RUNNER: Pass speed pads (Earnable multiple time per match)* * LOUISE SINKER: Beat Louise Boss as fast as possible.* * * BOB BASHER: Beat Bob Boss as fast as possible.* * * * JUICIN' LONGSHOT: Score 2 ingredients in a row from a long distance (Earnable once per wave) FOREST SPEEDSTER: Complete a fast lap (Earnable once per wave) *My guess is this is an alt map version of "What's cookin'?" * *Obviously, an Alt map of "Speed run". * * *The sea monster mini-boss from Crash 4, My guess, They're the boss of the new Speedrun stage. * * * *Bob is the guy from Scorch in Spyro 2 that throws bombs at you while you try to raise flags. My guess, He's the boss of the Juicing stage.
Im not even bothered at this point. With Kingdom Hearts 4 not even getting a mention at TGA this year and Metroid Prime 4 apparently not even close to finishing pre production phase, I have no hope left
Hey Canadian Guy, just wanted to say that the dragon statues seen in Rumble are confirmed to be reused models from Reignited. Not the final game, but the work in progress scrapped files, we've been able to access the files since 2019. And 3:26 I know those eggs aren't what the eggs in Reignited look like, but they're very very clearly and very obviously based off the original Spyro 3's eggs. Again, perhaps even pulled from the unused Reignited assets like the dragons were. But not found in the released Reignited games files. Not saying that these details mean that Spyro 4 is never happening, but just that those specific things don't necessarily point towards it. Honestly it's very questionable if you didn't notice instantly that the eggs are based off the original Spyro 3.
We might as well get a Spyro 4 come 2024 during Spyro 26th Anniversary. Happy 25th & 26th Anniversaries, Spyro! It won't be at a new "E3" now that ESA is officially dogging it. But it could be at the SGF.
5:25 I was gonna say "Oh the spirit thingies from Spyro 2", but in Reignited they were blue instead of purple, and... they're don't come out of dragons, but mostly Riptocs. 6:56 WAIT HANG ON that little symbol looks very Legend-y... like the Convexity/Aether breath symbol 😱😱
Dude I honestly would love to have that trilogy either remade or just brought to current/next gen consoles! I love my original boy but also love this grown up version and story/lore in this version too!❤❤
Let him cook. I'd wait another decade for a brilliant fourth title. The last thing I want is for the devs to push out a playtest and have them call it the fourth game.
Yes but they need to respect their spyro community & at least verbally say there will be a fourth game soon (they don't even have to say a date). Instead the're playing mental tormenting games with their loyal community teasing them making them follow clues & riddles. They seem to be a villain to us called the riddler.
@@joshuadansby2874 Disagree. That Spyro is getting any attention at all - and that the devs have gone on record to say that they love Spyro and are aware that the community loves him, as well as never outright denying that a fourth game is in development, - is evidence enough for me. We just need to be patient. These guys have eyes on their community and are actively a part of it. Enjoy the cameos and guest appearances while we have them. I'm sure a new Spyro is in the future.
@joshuadansby2874 Yes, but I am seeing this as a glass half full situation. Look, Spyro could be like Sly Cooper or Jak and Daxter. Shit could always be worse. Spyro is fairing well. The stars are aligning for a fourth game. Demanding some kind of affirmation from the devs is silly - they don't owe us anything.
@@thewooz7398 They need to stop teasing us was all I was saying & we don't own them anything as well. This is all about money so... My point was with all the evidence for Spyro four they still never verbally said there will be a fourth game that doesn't mean there won't be. It is never respectful to tease, toil & send loyal fans on a scavenger hunt for years! They don't have to make the game but they Do owe us a clear response to wether they're making the game or Not. Many other (most) Ip's have said to their customers that there will be a new game coming soon but the most loyal customers (Spyro) they don't say anything. There is No reason why you should be disagreeing with this instead of kissing TFB butts saying to be patient. Yes I will be patient for as long as they need to Make the game but I will not be patient for an absolute conformation from the source that they will be making the fourth Spryo Not assumptions!
If we don't count Reignited due to it being a remake, this is the first time where Spyro & Ripto fought since the GBA's Attack of the Rhynoc's back in 2003!
So the extra life is actually a previously unused version of the asset from Reignited. That's according to the Spyro modding discord anyways. So that isn't completely new at least but it's interesting they chose that instead of the final version of the extra life. The eggs are probably just meant to resemble the PS1 version of Spyro 3's eggs. Why change it? idk lol
Hey Canadian guy. Have a question what if spyro 4 has a multiplayer arcade segment where you play the minigames and side quest not only solo but with players locally and online?
I think the art shown at the end of the video is connected to the dragon essence. I feel like the dragon sorcerers are related to the dragon essence in some fashion (story-wise and/or game mechanics), but I'm not sure how. As for the promotional art, I honestly thought the promotional art was for a CTRumble event teasing Spyro 4, not necessarily a crossover title. Regardless, looking forward to what you think the art is for!
@@TomTheyy Hey, I'm not in the loop on who Nicolas Kole is. Do you mind telling me? Also, just because people are no longer at TFB doesn't mean the asset can't be used. Lay-offs are everywhere these days.
@@fe_fanby2278 character designer on Reignited and Crash 4. Suffice to say, they can just reuse that pitched stuff, but his statement doesn't give me hope beyond that.
Im surprised you didn't mention spyro's horns glowing when he does the charge attack as another change they did. That could be reused or from for spyro 4
It was likely done to indicate to other players that Spyro is charging. I don't know if the charge is instantaneous or not in CTRumble compared to Reignited Trilogy.
As some people have pointed out, including pretzeldelicious4200, the thief could be an optimization: given how simplified it is, I guess they made a version with a reduced polygon count so that it wouldn't make the engine implode (as we know, the game can get quite crowded). The Dragon statue could be a similar reason: new assets with less polygons (I'm not sure about this one though). About the crossover idea... my two cents: two players game like Bugs & Taz Time Busters. Spyro can glide but can't jump high enough, while Crash can jump very high but cannot glide (duh). In single player, the player can switch between them while the other is controlled by an AI, and Crash can (like in the concept art) ride Spyro so that they two remain close together while on ground (gliding with Crash on the back may either be impossible or drastically reduce the distance) Additionally, Crash can use Spyro as trampoline to reach even higher areas, while Spyro can be thrown by Crash to glide for longer distances. This is how I think a crossover game may be handled.
The eggs really just looked like a cleaned up version of the reignited eggs so they could have heard that criticism and with Microsoft there owner now they could have been able to clean up the design. For the egg thieves it could have been as simple as with there reignited designs they slowed the processing power to much with so many people in the map so they simplified it.
Honestly I prefer the Reignited thief better. More detail and all that. The loose wrappings make them look more active for their profession. As for Elora's updated appearance, my guess is it could have something to do with how she moves. In Reignited she isn't seen walking around quite as much as some of the other characters. Usually she stands in place and only moves while off screen. The few times Elora does move on screen, she has a weird and seemingly stiff way of walking. Almost like she struggles to move her legs. So because she is a playable character in Crash Team Rumble (and hopefully in Spyro 4 alongside Hunter and Bianca), it was probably easier to animate her with a more slender design. I'm just spitballing here so I could be wrong. It may also just be a design choice by the devs for the sake of it.
Honestly, I see 2024 as possible and perfect time for new Spyro game, because of the year of the dragon, by all that remodeling, maps and possibly new elder dragons in CTR. But. If that doesn't happen (Which I doubt won't), I don't think I'll expect it to happen in future years. That doesn't mean I won't stop loving Spyro. We still have amazing artists, writers, and fans who love him.
@@TomTheyy Yeah, but Spyro stuff already has the new art style designs. While those characters NEED new ones. My point is that the new Spyro models are extremely unnecessary unless it was for something bigger.
I’m probably overthinking, but those dragon essence does give me Legend vibes, they look more mystical than any collectibles in the original games, plus the name being dragon essence implies they might be spirits from dragons, which goes more in line with the tone of Legend than the originals.
Idk if anyone else noticed this but 2024 is specifically called out in reignited trilogy’s Spyro 3 platinum trophy…the trophy is literally called “Party like it’s 2024”. Now 2024 is year of the dragon as well, so likely what they were referencing but maybe also a subtle hint Spyro in 2024????? Who knows!
After VGA I done waiting. I've been burned to many time and honestly, you've been one of the reasons I hot my hope up about nothing. Until Activision them selves announce something I'm out. I'll play Reignited till the heat death.
I really hope Spyro 4 is an improved version of Enter the Dragonfly, was one of my first Spyro games and I'd be so happy if its potential is fully realized
I still struggle to let myself believe for now.. but yeah if there really isn't a new game all these hints are just plain evil. If there is though then it's not evil... but they could maybe announce it already..
Hi, I unfortunately not recieved Spyro in the time due to business. When he will be fully released please? I'm not able to find any information about that. Thank you :)
Toys for Bob revamping Elora's and the Egg Thieves' models for Crash Team Rumble definitely raises eyebrows, including mine. However, I'm not getting excited until the studio puts out videos or press releases related to Spyro 4.
The dev team is really doing a good job with the design in this game. I do hope the game only improves, and has a good amount of seasons, because it's generally fun to play.
Imagine if they threw in Ignitus, Cyril, Volteer, and Terrador, because if you look at the horns on the Crystal Dragons, they look like how they are in The Legend series
My disappointment when I watched through the whole game awards and didn't see a spyro 4 announcement, im still hoping we will get some kind of announcement next year, or if the game releases next year even better
I hope Spyro has a 4th game because of it being the year of the Dragon next year so I bet it’s Spyro year of the Dragon 2 or Spyro 4 and whatever the games gimmick is about.
You mean like in The legend of Spyro series? The Dawn of the Dragon you were able to fly but I wish it was a bit more open world for you to fly around. But I would stay tethered with Cinder in the forest and just fly around lol
I think they may have changed Elora's design to make her less "suggestive" than in Reignited. As for the other remodels, it may be to "Crash-4-ify" them (and by that I mean make their appearances more in-lime with the rest of Rumble, which does re-use certain assets from Crash 4). And regarding Dragon Essence, it could be for one of the maps coming to the game (I haven't played Artisans' Arena yet even though it released already), or perhaps the Summer Forrest speedrun party mode? Though it could still mean Spyro 4 may exist, I'm not betting on it. (also I don't think the Spyro skins mean anything outside of Rumble). Anyway, I don't think you saw this comment I made on your last Rumble stream, so I'll paste it here in case you read the comments to this video (it is very important). Can you try to bring attention to some of the core glitches that have been happening with the game when specifically in a party? Some include: -Host disconnects when matchmaking (but everyone else gets in) -Party members randomly getting kicked from the group after a match (which is really bad because they can get autobalanced onto the other team at that point). -Invites not working at all without restarting the game at least once (this only started happening in season 3). -Disconnecting from the game if you unplug your controller/headset in the character select screen. There are some other glitches that should be addressed too, like getting teleported off/through the map because the latency is preventing the game from updating player positions properly (even for people with good internet), same with hit detection/priority for things that shouldn't have landed (again because the game fails to update player positions on time). I ask you this favour because these glitches have been around since season 2 and are crippling the experience of playing this game with friends. I would try to tell the devs about this but I can't because Twitter requires phone numbers now, same with their discord server (and I'm not about to doxx myself just to ask for a bug fix). Thank you for attending my TED Talk. Again. Edit: Perhaps Dragon Essence was meant to be the replacement of relics in Spyro maps, like how gems replaced Wumpa (in the non-icy version of Artisans' Arena)?
this is completely unimportant but im a big tlos fan. the new dragon statue has banded horns, which was a stylistic choice in tlos, but as far as im aware is not really a thing in classic spyro. it also seems like the aether symbol is on it too. i doubt whatever new spyro project thats coming up is anything close to tlos, but it seems like a callback at the very least! it would be very cool for the team to pull from other spyro timelines and bring some fan-favorite characters like cynder and ignitus into a new light, and give them rep in the classic timeline! maybe im just looking at this with waaaay too much of a desperate eye. but they havent been afraid to reference skylanders and skylanders spyro (even though spyro fans have a massive hate campaign against him. unjustly i may add. hes great, if you can get past his unfortunate face!) so, it'd be cool to see tlos' legacy be worked into spyro's near and bright future.
This is so disrespectful what Toys for Bob is doing to their loyal community. They need to respect their community & at least verbally say there will be a fourth game soon (they don't even have to say a date). Instead the're playing mental tormenting games with their loyal community teasing them making them follow clues & riddles. They seem to be a villain to us called the Riddler.
Something else to note is the Season Three calendar. There are ZERO content adds for February, despite having LOADS of stuff this season. Everything seems rushed into December and January, with some weeks even adding two or more things at once (this seemed to cause some errors with events too, see the silver dragon items being activated instead of the winter cookies, suggesting Winter event collided with an Artisan Arena themed one). It feels like everything is getting done with before February for some reason, with the Calendar kinda awkwardly structured to try and hide that. Now the start of February is the Chinese New Year and which one is it for 2024? THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON.
I can believe all this new stuff including new models of past characters or objects is a purpose for a new Spyro title. Such as the dragon statues; they could be statues of female dragons rather than male dragons given the slender appearance of these statues. Elora's new look looks just right, even if I liked her design in the Reignited Trilogy before I watched this.
I’m seriously contemplating on getting Team Rumble just so I can see Spyro and Elora again. If that’s the closest we’re going to get to Spyro for the next X amount of years, that’s good enough for me; cuz if we don’t get one next year (or at least an announcement) then I don’t know when we’re going to get one. Even if we do get a new one or an announcement next year, the earliest I think we’ll get one is February because that’s when the Chinese New year (Year of the Dragon) starts
I was thinking about the dragon essence maybe it's a game to where a dragon is trapped in crystal and if you collect the most you free the dragon and win the game
I may be getting ahead of myself but "Dragon essence" sounds a LOT like something that would be in the tLoS series. Gives me a lot of purple dragon powers/ aether vibes
5:22 I think that pink light ball is a character from Skylanders Imaginators, or at least is very similar. If you don't have the game check videos about the light sensei realm.
How many years have you been saying its about to be announced? This is like Homer Simpson claiming the traffic light is gonna turn green now, the light stays red, and he keeps saying "Now!! Now!! Now!! Now!!" until the light actually turns green like he actually predicted when the light would change
I think the change in Elora's design is because of China's censorship policy, I think they didn't like that we see Elora's crotch and Toys for Bob censored the outfit so that the update is coming out in China.
The 3D models were most likely changed to fit the style of the Crash Team Rumble game. There could be a hidden reason behind it, but things like dragon essence and model changes can simply be artistic directions. Regarding a Crash and Spyro game, it would be interesting, but I don't think I'd like it. The design differences between the two characters in level design, camera, etc. would clash too much. Something would have to be given up that made those games what they are. I personally dislike fixed cameras, running away from the camera, and overly linear design in 3d platformers, but I digress.
Why are they making new models to make them not look as good? I do think elora looks cool. She looks more attractive and more grown up. Ripto wouldn’t need a new model because he may not even be coming back for the fourth game though. I hope he does. I’m surprised they didn’t age Spyro up just a little bit. design is literally perfect in CTR and in his reignited trilogy. But if five years have passed or a year or two it makes sense. He looks just a little bit older and a little bit bigger. But it should be subtle.

Honestly, getting a Spyro/Crash crossover instead of Spyro 4 after waiting for so long would be kind of insulting. It would just prove to me that they don’t believe that Spyro can stand on his own, and he needs to rely on the Crash franchise to stay profitable. Not all of us are Crash fans either.
They’ve used Spyro to boost Crash’s popularity three times in the last 5 years, now it’s time for Spyro to get his own game.
Yeah if we only got a crossover game and not a real Spyro game I would be throwing sh*t at the walls for an hour.
True and well said
A crossover game could still be cool to see don't get me wrong. But wait till spyro actually gets a new game and then maybe think about a spyro crash crossover game
It would not prove they think Spyro can’t stand on his own. It would just mean they think they have a good idea to cross them over. And if they think that, so what? You act like you’re insulted and they shouldn’t think that lol if they think that they probably have a good reason based on the sales of the reignited trilogy as opposed to the insane trilogy. They wouldn’t make that up if they did that. But that would not mean they think that if the game is crossover. I’d love for them to come out with crash bandicoot five and spiral four in the same year and set up crossover. Not make it feel like it’s being introduced at the beginning of the crossover game, but it’s being introduced all through the entire game before the crossovers. I’d love a crash bandicoot movie that as good as the Mario movie and a Pokémon movie that’s as good as the Mario movie and Spiro in the crash bandicoot movie and then give us a smash Brothers film with all of these films. I think that would be really cool. Apparently I’m 12 years old…
Also, they aren’t using Spyro to boost crashes popularity. If anything is the reverse. But maybe they aren’t really using any of them to boost any of their popularity and they’re not saying one is better than the other. It’s just a really cool event they like to do in the games because it’s been a part of their history forever. Excited for a new game and a new game ASAP. That’s fine but everything else you’re saying it is incorrect and sounds kind of petty.
I feel 2024 is gonna be the year, our purple boy needs his fourth game
Not only due to YOTD but the year also ending with *4,* huge year of opportunity and I'm giving up hope entirely if nothing is at least officially announced that year.
@@TerrorOfTalossame. My expectations are low now, but 2024 is literally the last year that makes sense, so I'm keeping up my hopes for one more year.
I agree this year. I love Spyro but I’m more excited for a new crash game that’s either a sequel to crash team racing nitro fuel or another platform and I’d rather have that. I also think nitro fuel had the perfect art style. I love the more Pixar animation as opposed to this kind of Playdo look. I love that the rocks looks pretty real and some of the metal looked pretty real and there was a little more detail to the fur. I think nitro fuel had it just right. At least two is for Bob, it genuinely looks like it could be a well aged 360 game. It’s got a timeless graphics I’d say but they should at least put more work into this art style and make sure it’s very polished and finished looking.
@@PESHajnal30 unless something crazy happens it’s definitely coming eventually. So if it’s not next year there’s always 2025 but I think it’ll be next year. I think we might get a new crash bandicoot game also. I wouldn’t mind playing crash team rumble but I paid for it and it doesn’t let me play it anymore and says I need to purchase it. Lol.
Not only that, but it would also be perfect launch title for next gen console successor to Nintendo Switch. Can't say no to potentially huge sale boost
Spyro 4 is no longer a question of if, it is now COMPLETLY a question of when.
I was sure Spyro 4 was going to get announced at The Game Awards. It was a perfect cross-promotion opportunity. My next guess is a release in September 2024, since it seems to be the Spyro month and they had such a long time by now to develop it, as well is giving us a lot of teasers, in addition to this data mine with the new assets.
It’s coming my friend. Be excited. I think they’ll give us more teases first. And they may have wanted to come out a year or two ago and something happened and they had to push it back. They may be almost finished, and I have to push it back again. Lol. It’s not quite the priority. Certain franchises are, of course.
Changed after the Microsoft acquisition
I was so disappointed when no announce was given during the TGA for Spyro 4...
Still hope for 2024
If they changed Elora's design the way they have, it might even be because she could be playable in Spyro 4. In Reignited she only needed to move in a few ways for cutscenes and a few in game animations. If she's playable now, they might would need to completely overhaul her base model to make her move right in game.
If Spyro 4 has multiple playable characters like in Year of the Dragon, then honestly Elora coming back like this isn't too insane of an idea.
Ooh, imagine that... What do you think her gameplay style would be?
@@Mike14264 I imagine a more acrobatic version of Sheela. Like being able to jump higher and move quickly in percarious places so up mountains or through forests/jungles. And since she has hands, she'd be able to use equipment built by the professor. And I imagine Hunter would be good for speed ways and sports.
@@naterivers6107 yeah, sounds about right!
All I want for Christmas 🎄 is a Spyro announcement
Crash Team Racing lead into Crash 4. It makes sense if Rumble leads into Spyro 4. I wonder if these new portal power ups and Ripto will be tied into it as well
I love new eloras new look in crash team rumble it’s amazing
Isn’t 2024 the year of the dragon?!?
I think this new models could potentially lead to a new Spyro game. Maybe Toys For Bob will give out these new models as a hint for Spyro 4? Maybe they had to update the blue thief to make it more friendly than the Reignited model? The way I see it is that the blue thief is like the original blue thief from the original Spyro games.
I could’ve fathom why they make these new models if they did not have a new game coming. Maybe they couldn’t port them over or there were something with the rights that we just don’t know all the top of our head… maybe they just really wanted to change the models but I think there’s a new game coming. it’s weird they’re using concepts from the older games in the new games. Were there egg thieves and all three original games? I can’t remember for some reason. If he’s just in the first game, maybe it doesn’t mean a new game is coming… or they want to bring back for the game. I love the thieves.
It was weird that Spyro 4 didn't get announced at the Game Awards. I feel like if it's going to be out by the end of 2024 it's going to be announced in like February.
Why? They could announce and release it in three months or six months from the announcement. They might announce it this month or next month or February and release it in summer.
Chinese New Year falls in February, so it’s a good prediction
I just hope they announce Spyro 4 on February 10th.
That's the next Lunar New Year, which will be the next Year of the Dragon.
The legend of spyro spyro horns are on the new silver dragon
The old one looks a lot like ignitus
Hey CGE! I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before but I was just replaying the reignited trilogy and ONLY just noticed that the platinum trophy for Year of the Dragon is called “Party like it’s 2024” and with 2024 being the Chinese Year of the Dragon…coincidence?!
Spyro 4 is already destined to happen. Spyro being in CT Rumble is like basically a confirmation. Speaking of CT Rumble can’t wait for the jam packed events today.
To be fair, he was also in nitro fuel, and we haven’t gotten anything yet. But I do agree. I think they put him in this to get people excited for the new game but I think the new designs for elora especially are going to be for the new game
@@jessejive117 And On The Run, and Reignited's promotion had long ended by then.
It's not a confirmation. That's like saying Johnny Bravo makes a cameo in some modern day cartoon. It's meant as a throwback/reference for those that know of him and watched that show (like me). It does not mean he's getting another cartoon. Until the Devs/those that own the IP say so, always assume there won't be another one.
It’s definitely interesting that they’d redo the models. Looks like some folks in the comments think it’s to improve poly count, but it doesn’t necessarily seem like the new models would be any more performant than the old ones. There’s ways to make models more performant without totally redoing them.
Another thing I personally noticed is the buildings behind Spyro’s hero profile at 3:15. I can’t recognize them as being from any existing Spyro (or Crash) game. I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am, but that struck me as strange and new when I first saw it.
Artisan Home maybe? It's kinda hard to tell the lamp post is throwing me for a loop
Yeah that background image definitely isn't from any Spyro 1,2,3 level.
There is no way they wouldn’t change Spyro and ripto but would change elora for something like that. Elora looks older and more like an adult now. She looks like she was 13 and human years and it may be more like 17 or 18 now. I figured they’d age Spyro ever so slightly and subtlety if they were going to age his friends. Ripto may not be in the sequel and dragons probably live 1000 years so he may not age very much in five years like elora. She may only live to be 100 or two, so she probably ages quicker? The egg thieves makes sense to get a redesign if they are in a new game. They are different from the ones we fought after all. But why would they bring the crystal dragons back? That makes me think maybe they just want new models. I don’t know if that’s a concept that was in other games outside of the original trilogy. If so, I think it’s safe to say they’re bringing that back for the fourth game. I really want crash bandicoot five and Spyro four to set up crossover game! And give us a Pokémon movie as good as the Mario movie with the same animation and the same thing with crash bandicoot and then give us a smash Brothers movie lol I’m sorry I’m 12 apparently
I think that the dragon essence is like some kind of magic that lives in all dragons and gives the dragon to use different elemental breaths.
2024 it MUST be his year.
After The Game Awards, I felt insulted.
So much for literally nothing.
Lol it's not happening. Activision missed the announcement window. Just get used to it. As long as Activision is in charge, there will never be a new Spyro game.
@@stopdroproll7258 Except Activision now being owned by Microsoft means that Toys For Bob now has the free reign to make whatever the hell they want. It's not as impossible now.
@stopdroproll7258 How do you know it's not happening? Are you a fortune teller or some bullshit?
@@elusivenarwhal1996 Because we all know Activision doesn't care about games, only money! That's why all they care about is their COD machine.
@@stopdroproll7258 Well now that they're owned by Microsoft, things maybe different
I just here hoping that Cynder gets a spot in the new game
i imagine the game will be announced in late March - Mid April and released sometime in September - November
If and when spyro 4 is announced I will be returning to spyro reignited trilogy to get ready for the epic games announcement 😎
"Those developers are up to somethi'n"
All these new assets definitely gives me vibes that a new Spyro is indeed in the making! I sure hope so anyways, it's been a long time since he's had his chance at a 'proper' 4th game, here's hoping! I love Elora's new look in Rumble too. she looks great! :D closer to the original concept art of her as well!
I think the new Thief design was just made to tone down the polygon count, and I might be wrong, but I think that the Dragon Statue model is just from Skylanders
Think so too. Ripto's model also got a change even I didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me. The end of his cape is smooth and round while in reignited it had this curly tip at the end of it. It was probably changed for the same reason. It's an online game so many models will have to be simplified.
@@TundravioletAt least for PS4 and Xbox One. They could've kept the Hi-Res models for PS5 and Xbox Series X as they could handle more detail without performance drops.
Could be. But elora has to be because of a new game. I’d bet $100 lol Ripto may not be in the sequel and Spyro may not age as quickly as elora since dragons, probably live a really long time compared to some type of furry mammal. Or maybe they really don’t want to spoil his design for the new game since he’s the main character… And again, riptide was some sort of reptile or dinosaur or dragon thing so he lives probably longer it may not age either if he’s in the next game! I don’t doubt a game is coming, but I do think this is an indicator.
ive never seen a dragon statue like that in skylanders! i could have missed it, but based on art style alone i can almost guarantee that the statue model is not skylanders. far too proportional. hahaha
@H2OZan Are you sure?I think I seen that as a decoration in a level, probably Dragon's Peak or something (but probably i'm just stupid)
0:27 "thanks eh" got me laughing 💀
They could announce it/release a trailer for it on the day of the Chinese New Year, 10th February 2024, the Year of the Dragon!...😃
One thing I've noticed, there is ZERO new content scheduled for February this season. Like there's usually a bit of a lull near the final month of every season but there's usually SOMETHING, and this season had plenty content to spread out (we're getting minigames and maps in the same week). It's suspicious they crammed everything in at the start before that specific date, like they maybe have a little surprise planned for then.
Pretty sure 'Dragonessence' was obvious as to what it was the second you heard it. The asset is a misdirection: It's clearly the name of Cynder's goth-metal band. :p
YESSS!!!
They mentioned that Dragons were the source of magic. Maybe that's what the dragon essence is.
If Spyro 4 is coming out soon, then Activision should release it late next year since next year is the year of the dragon.😊
@@kirtheweasel Proof please
@@kirtheweasel what are you talking about? There are so many times they could announce it at so many different game shows because they have tons of these things every year. After they announce a game like crash or Spyro, it takes three months to six months to be released… what you said is not only not evidence or proof it’s not even good reasoning, or logic or an argument. Even if you happen to be right, what you said is not an indicator you are right.
@@kirtheweasel Well maybe they're just keeping it a secret from the public
I'm willing to wait for Spyro 4, but I hope it comes eventually.
I'm willing to wait, but it would be REALLY nice if they could just announce it. It's hurting my soul having to go through this back and forth mental torment of thinking It's happening and then not thinking it's happening over and over and over again... 😫 it's mentally exhausting.
Please, just confirm clearly whether he is getting a game or not. SOONER than later.
I hope 2024 we get a new spyro game
I didn’t realize Elora’s dress was updated. It makes sense; now she’s not flashing everyone! 😂
Spyro 4 when ????
Something for future reference. Probably doesn't mean anything for this video, BUT:
If you pause the game on the main menu, There's an option called "Game Guide". This has a bunch of things in it, Most importantly here: Explanations for the badges, How to get them for example. Here's the thing.
It actually shows all badges for the maps and characters of that season, *Including ones not yet released.*
It's through this, That it's revealed that Elora is going to be a healer character, With her personal badge mentioning a "Healing pulse."
Also, One of the maps has a relic station involving Moneybags. Makes me think that for the Spyro maps, The Wumpa are going to be switched out for gems, And you can kill the Thieves in order to get the gems they have.
For those wondering, The Badges for unreleased content and their descriptions are as follows, If somebody wants to boot up their game and follow the above instructions you can vouch for me:
*Elora's Hero badge*
THE HEAL DEAL: Heal allies for 100 health with a single Heal Aura.
*Relic Station Badges*
FAIRY: Fairies increases your damage, defence, and knockback strength.
ICE WIZARDS: Ice Wizards roam their domain and freeze enemies with frost attacks.
MONEYBAGS: Steal a sack of gems from Moneybags!
ENCHANTED TOWER: Bring the tower to life to fire arrows at nearby enemies.
*Epic Relic Station Badges*
GULP: Gulp rains terror from the sky and causes earthquakes with his slams.
ELEMENTAL ORBS*: Collect elemental orbs to harness their powers!
*The Elemental Orbs are the ones from Ripto's boss fight.
*HOLD THE PHONE!!* I just checked "Party mode", There's some badges here not used anywhere else. My guess based on them gives me the idea that they may be old modes on new maps:
JUICER: Deliver ingredients (earnable multiple times per match)*
FOREST RUNNER: Pass speed pads (Earnable multiple time per match)* *
LOUISE SINKER: Beat Louise Boss as fast as possible.* * *
BOB BASHER: Beat Bob Boss as fast as possible.* * * *
JUICIN' LONGSHOT: Score 2 ingredients in a row from a long distance (Earnable once per wave)
FOREST SPEEDSTER: Complete a fast lap (Earnable once per wave)
*My guess is this is an alt map version of "What's cookin'?"
* *Obviously, an Alt map of "Speed run".
* * *The sea monster mini-boss from Crash 4, My guess, They're the boss of the new Speedrun stage.
* * * *Bob is the guy from Scorch in Spyro 2 that throws bombs at you while you try to raise flags. My guess, He's the boss of the Juicing stage.
Im not even bothered at this point. With Kingdom Hearts 4 not even getting a mention at TGA this year and Metroid Prime 4 apparently not even close to finishing pre production phase, I have no hope left
Regarding the concept art, Nicholas Kole stated that the team behind that was disbanded a long time ago.
Hey Canadian Guy, just wanted to say that the dragon statues seen in Rumble are confirmed to be reused models from Reignited. Not the final game, but the work in progress scrapped files, we've been able to access the files since 2019.
And 3:26 I know those eggs aren't what the eggs in Reignited look like, but they're very very clearly and very obviously based off the original Spyro 3's eggs. Again, perhaps even pulled from the unused Reignited assets like the dragons were. But not found in the released Reignited games files.
Not saying that these details mean that Spyro 4 is never happening, but just that those specific things don't necessarily point towards it.
Honestly it's very questionable if you didn't notice instantly that the eggs are based off the original Spyro 3.
We might as well get a Spyro 4 come 2024 during Spyro 26th Anniversary.
Happy 25th & 26th Anniversaries, Spyro!
It won't be at a new "E3" now that ESA is officially dogging it.
But it could be at the SGF.
5:25 I was gonna say "Oh the spirit thingies from Spyro 2", but in Reignited they were blue instead of purple, and... they're don't come out of dragons, but mostly Riptocs.
6:56 WAIT HANG ON that little symbol looks very Legend-y... like the Convexity/Aether breath symbol 😱😱
Dude I honestly would love to have that trilogy either remade or just brought to current/next gen consoles! I love my original boy but also love this grown up version and story/lore in this version too!❤❤
Let him cook.
I'd wait another decade for a brilliant fourth title. The last thing I want is for the devs to push out a playtest and have them call it the fourth game.
Yes but they need to respect their spyro community & at least verbally say there will be a fourth game soon (they don't even have to say a date). Instead the're playing mental tormenting games with their loyal community teasing them making them follow clues & riddles. They seem to be a villain to us called the riddler.
@@joshuadansby2874 Disagree.
That Spyro is getting any attention at all - and that the devs have gone on record to say that they love Spyro and are aware that the community loves him, as well as never outright denying that a fourth game is in development, - is evidence enough for me.
We just need to be patient. These guys have eyes on their community and are actively a part of it. Enjoy the cameos and guest appearances while we have them. I'm sure a new Spyro is in the future.
@@thewooz7398 Re-read what I said. Everything I said is True
@joshuadansby2874 Yes, but I am seeing this as a glass half full situation.
Look, Spyro could be like Sly Cooper or Jak and Daxter. Shit could always be worse.
Spyro is fairing well. The stars are aligning for a fourth game. Demanding some kind of affirmation from the devs is silly - they don't owe us anything.
@@thewooz7398 They need to stop teasing us was all I was saying & we don't own them anything as well. This is all about money so... My point was with all the evidence for Spyro four they still never verbally said there will be a fourth game that doesn't mean there won't be. It is never respectful to tease, toil & send loyal fans on a scavenger hunt for years! They don't have to make the game but they Do owe us a clear response to wether they're making the game or Not. Many other (most) Ip's have said to their customers that there will be a new game coming soon but the most loyal customers (Spyro) they don't say anything. There is No reason why you should be disagreeing with this instead of kissing TFB butts saying to be patient. Yes I will be patient for as long as they need to Make the game but I will not be patient for an absolute conformation from the source that they will be making the fourth Spryo Not assumptions!
Spyro needs a new game.
If we don't count Reignited due to it being a remake, this is the first time where Spyro & Ripto fought since the GBA's Attack of the Rhynoc's back in 2003!
So the extra life is actually a previously unused version of the asset from Reignited. That's according to the Spyro modding discord anyways. So that isn't completely new at least but it's interesting they chose that instead of the final version of the extra life.
The eggs are probably just meant to resemble the PS1 version of Spyro 3's eggs. Why change it? idk lol
I don’t think TFB would waste a perfectly new model made for CTRumble, they gotta use it for something else. *cough* Spyro4 *cough*
The feral pose of tje crystal dragons always remembered me more to Cyrl from the tlos series, rather the the classic spyro games
Hey Canadian guy. Have a question what if spyro 4 has a multiplayer arcade segment where you play the minigames and side quest not only solo but with players locally and online?
I think the art shown at the end of the video is connected to the dragon essence. I feel like the dragon sorcerers are related to the dragon essence in some fashion (story-wise and/or game mechanics), but I'm not sure how.
As for the promotional art, I honestly thought the promotional art was for a CTRumble event teasing Spyro 4, not necessarily a crossover title. Regardless, looking forward to what you think the art is for!
Nicolas Kole commented on it and said not to get your hopes up, saying the team who pitched the art is no longer at TFB.
@@TomTheyy Hey, I'm not in the loop on who Nicolas Kole is. Do you mind telling me?
Also, just because people are no longer at TFB doesn't mean the asset can't be used. Lay-offs are everywhere these days.
@@fe_fanby2278 character designer on Reignited and Crash 4. Suffice to say, they can just reuse that pitched stuff, but his statement doesn't give me hope beyond that.
@@TomTheyy Good to know. Thanks for telling me!
Need legend of spyro remake first.. its just more fair for all fans
Im surprised you didn't mention spyro's horns glowing when he does the charge attack as another change they did. That could be reused or from for spyro 4
It was likely done to indicate to other players that Spyro is charging. I don't know if the charge is instantaneous or not in CTRumble compared to Reignited Trilogy.
@@X2011racer yeah i thought the same thing. Still a interesting change
I don’t know how I would feel about a Spyro crash crossover
As some people have pointed out, including pretzeldelicious4200, the thief could be an optimization: given how simplified it is, I guess they made a version with a reduced polygon count so that it wouldn't make the engine implode (as we know, the game can get quite crowded). The Dragon statue could be a similar reason: new assets with less polygons (I'm not sure about this one though).
About the crossover idea... my two cents: two players game like Bugs & Taz Time Busters.
Spyro can glide but can't jump high enough, while Crash can jump very high but cannot glide (duh).
In single player, the player can switch between them while the other is controlled by an AI, and Crash can (like in the concept art) ride Spyro so that they two remain close together while on ground (gliding with Crash on the back may either be impossible or drastically reduce the distance)
Additionally, Crash can use Spyro as trampoline to reach even higher areas, while Spyro can be thrown by Crash to glide for longer distances.
This is how I think a crossover game may be handled.
That actually sounds like a fire idea for a crossover there, it sounds like something that can work really well and unique too.
I honestly would be happier if a crossover game never happened. I like them having their own games.
They already did one and Crash was in Skylanders, so there's no need really.@@cookiesontoast9981
The eggs really just looked like a cleaned up version of the reignited eggs so they could have heard that criticism and with Microsoft there owner now they could have been able to clean up the design.
For the egg thieves it could have been as simple as with there reignited designs they slowed the processing power to much with so many people in the map so they simplified it.
Honestly I prefer the Reignited thief better. More detail and all that. The loose wrappings make them look more active for their profession. As for Elora's updated appearance, my guess is it could have something to do with how she moves. In Reignited she isn't seen walking around quite as much as some of the other characters. Usually she stands in place and only moves while off screen. The few times Elora does move on screen, she has a weird and seemingly stiff way of walking. Almost like she struggles to move her legs. So because she is a playable character in Crash Team Rumble (and hopefully in Spyro 4 alongside Hunter and Bianca), it was probably easier to animate her with a more slender design.
I'm just spitballing here so I could be wrong. It may also just be a design choice by the devs for the sake of it.
Honestly, I see 2024 as possible and perfect time for new Spyro game, because of the year of the dragon, by all that remodeling, maps and possibly new elder dragons in CTR.
But. If that doesn't happen (Which I doubt won't), I don't think I'll expect it to happen in future years.
That doesn't mean I won't stop loving Spyro. We still have amazing artists, writers, and fans who love him.
Rumble reuses so many things, and it wouldn't make sense to make new models just for this game.
They've datamined Tiny, Nina and Pinstripe for next season, it does make sense.
@@TomTheyy Yeah, but Spyro stuff already has the new art style designs. While those characters NEED new ones. My point is that the new Spyro models are extremely unnecessary unless it was for something bigger.
I’m probably overthinking, but those dragon essence does give me Legend vibes, they look more mystical than any collectibles in the original games, plus the name being dragon essence implies they might be spirits from dragons, which goes more in line with the tone of Legend than the originals.
Idk if anyone else noticed this but 2024 is specifically called out in reignited trilogy’s Spyro 3 platinum trophy…the trophy is literally called “Party like it’s 2024”. Now 2024 is year of the dragon as well, so likely what they were referencing but maybe also a subtle hint Spyro in 2024????? Who knows!
After VGA I done waiting. I've been burned to many time and honestly, you've been one of the reasons I hot my hope up about nothing. Until Activision them selves announce something I'm out. I'll play Reignited till the heat death.
I really hope Spyro 4 is an improved version of Enter the Dragonfly, was one of my first Spyro games and I'd be so happy if its potential is fully realized
This video has me SO HYPED! Ahhhhh 💜💛
I feel like Activision will put Spryo in anything except a new Spyro game
God I've been waiting for Spyro for so long! Thank you God
There we go, Spyro 4 hints in Rumble, now we have good proof it's coming soon. 😊
I still struggle to let myself believe for now.. but yeah if there really isn't a new game all these hints are just plain evil. If there is though then it's not evil... but they could maybe announce it already..
Hi, I unfortunately not recieved Spyro in the time due to business. When he will be fully released please? I'm not able to find any information about that. Thank you :)
Reignited Elora was too lewd, they censored her with a new model.
Reignited Egg Thief had too many polygons, new model simplified it.
Etc.
Toys for Bob revamping Elora's and the Egg Thieves' models for Crash Team Rumble definitely raises eyebrows, including mine. However, I'm not getting excited until the studio puts out videos or press releases related to Spyro 4.
I am waiting for a new Spyro since childhood. Lets hope together it is going to happen and it will be a great game and not a quick cashgrab :)
Man. Im happy for you Spyro/crash fans. Im over here hoping Rayman 2 and 3 get a similar 1:1 remake with some expansion. This is cool btw.
The dev team is really doing a good job with the design in this game. I do hope the game only improves, and has a good amount of seasons, because it's generally fun to play.
Imagine if they threw in Ignitus, Cyril, Volteer, and Terrador, because if you look at the horns on the Crystal Dragons, they look like how they are in The Legend series
My disappointment when I watched through the whole game awards and didn't see a spyro 4 announcement, im still hoping we will get some kind of announcement next year, or if the game releases next year even better
I hope Spyro has a 4th game because of it being the year of the Dragon next year so I bet it’s Spyro year of the Dragon 2 or Spyro 4 and whatever the games gimmick is about.
What are your thoughts on a true open world spyro game? Not 4, perhaps as a side game, I have some thoughts on it. Ask if your curious.
9ooh yes! That would be amazing, and maybe like fly ability I would defo play 24/7
You mean like in The legend of Spyro series? The Dawn of the Dragon you were able to fly but I wish it was a bit more open world for you to fly around. But I would stay tethered with Cinder in the forest and just fly around lol

I think they may have changed Elora's design to make her less "suggestive" than in Reignited.
As for the other remodels, it may be to "Crash-4-ify" them (and by that I mean make their appearances more in-lime with the rest of Rumble, which does re-use certain assets from Crash 4). And regarding Dragon Essence, it could be for one of the maps coming to the game (I haven't played Artisans' Arena yet even though it released already), or perhaps the Summer Forrest speedrun party mode?
Though it could still mean Spyro 4 may exist, I'm not betting on it. (also I don't think the Spyro skins mean anything outside of Rumble).
Anyway, I don't think you saw this comment I made on your last Rumble stream, so I'll paste it here in case you read the comments to this video (it is very important).
Can you try to bring attention to some of the core glitches that have been happening with the game when specifically in a party? Some include:
-Host disconnects when matchmaking (but everyone else gets in)
-Party members randomly getting kicked from the group after a match (which is really bad because they can get autobalanced onto the other team at that point).
-Invites not working at all without restarting the game at least once (this only started happening in season 3).
-Disconnecting from the game if you unplug your controller/headset in the character select screen.
There are some other glitches that should be addressed too, like getting teleported off/through the map because the latency is preventing the game from updating player positions properly (even for people with good internet), same with hit detection/priority for things that shouldn't have landed (again because the game fails to update player positions on time).
I ask you this favour because these glitches have been around since season 2 and are crippling the experience of playing this game with friends. I would try to tell the devs about this but I can't because Twitter requires phone numbers now, same with their discord server (and I'm not about to doxx myself just to ask for a bug fix).
Thank you for attending my TED Talk. Again.
Edit: Perhaps Dragon Essence was meant to be the replacement of relics in Spyro maps, like how gems replaced Wumpa (in the non-icy version of Artisans' Arena)?
where'd you get the dragon animations from reignited?
Dragon essence could just possibly be that spirit energy after you defeat enemies in riptos rage.
this is completely unimportant but im a big tlos fan. the new dragon statue has banded horns, which was a stylistic choice in tlos, but as far as im aware is not really a thing in classic spyro. it also seems like the aether symbol is on it too. i doubt whatever new spyro project thats coming up is anything close to tlos, but it seems like a callback at the very least! it would be very cool for the team to pull from other spyro timelines and bring some fan-favorite characters like cynder and ignitus into a new light, and give them rep in the classic timeline! maybe im just looking at this with waaaay too much of a desperate eye. but they havent been afraid to reference skylanders and skylanders spyro (even though spyro fans have a massive hate campaign against him. unjustly i may add. hes great, if you can get past his unfortunate face!) so, it'd be cool to see tlos' legacy be worked into spyro's near and bright future.
This is so disrespectful what Toys for Bob is doing to their loyal community. They need to respect their community & at least verbally say there will be a fourth game soon (they don't even have to say a date). Instead the're playing mental tormenting games with their loyal community teasing them making them follow clues & riddles. They seem to be a villain to us called the Riddler.
2024 is going to be the year for both Shadow and Spyro
Elora kinda looks like Keira from Jak and Daxter
Something else to note is the Season Three calendar. There are ZERO content adds for February, despite having LOADS of stuff this season. Everything seems rushed into December and January, with some weeks even adding two or more things at once (this seemed to cause some errors with events too, see the silver dragon items being activated instead of the winter cookies, suggesting Winter event collided with an Artisan Arena themed one). It feels like everything is getting done with before February for some reason, with the Calendar kinda awkwardly structured to try and hide that.
Now the start of February is the Chinese New Year and which one is it for 2024? THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON.
I can believe all this new stuff including new models of past characters or objects is a purpose for a new Spyro title. Such as the dragon statues; they could be statues of female dragons rather than male dragons given the slender appearance of these statues. Elora's new look looks just right, even if I liked her design in the Reignited Trilogy before I watched this.
Essence is the genetic information carried by all life. Essence is change. Change is survival.
I’m seriously contemplating on getting Team Rumble just so I can see Spyro and Elora again. If that’s the closest we’re going to get to Spyro for the next X amount of years, that’s good enough for me; cuz if we don’t get one next year (or at least an announcement) then I don’t know when we’re going to get one. Even if we do get a new one or an announcement next year, the earliest I think we’ll get one is February because that’s when the Chinese New year (Year of the Dragon) starts
I was thinking about the dragon essence maybe it's a game to where a dragon is trapped in crystal and if you collect the most you free the dragon and win the game
I think the essence is from the spyro 2 ripto's rage enemy drops. Just a thought.
Same thought here
so why is it called "DRAGON Essence"?
@@zraeldreams my mind just thinks it could be a place holder. I want to be wrong for hope of spyro 4.
3 years of hints 😢
3 plus years of toiling with their loyal community is a crime & Not to be respected.
I may be getting ahead of myself but
"Dragon essence" sounds a LOT like something that would be in the tLoS series. Gives me a lot of purple dragon powers/ aether vibes

I think that pink light ball is a character from Skylanders Imaginators, or at least is very similar.
If you don't have the game check videos about the light sensei realm.
How many years have you been saying its about to be announced? This is like Homer Simpson claiming the traffic light is gonna turn green now, the light stays red, and he keeps saying "Now!! Now!! Now!! Now!!" until the light actually turns green like he actually predicted when the light would change
Its seem that developers took a chance and makes some assets close to the original games, pretty neat.
I think the change in Elora's design is because of China's censorship policy, I think they didn't like that we see Elora's crotch and Toys for Bob censored the outfit so that the update is coming out in China.
I’m just sayin I’m holding out hope because of the PSN achievement for reignited trilogy called, “Party like its 2024”
The developers know we want Spyro 4, I don't know what's taking them so long to do something.
The new models are good, but I really like the egg thieves cloak in the original better.
"Original" you mean in the remake.
They probably made the eggs resemble more like the original eggs from the ps 1 games because they do
Oh hell yeah we're getting a sequel to Crash purple and Spyro orange let's go massive W (it contains sarcasm)
The 3D models were most likely changed to fit the style of the Crash Team Rumble game. There could be a hidden reason behind it, but things like dragon essence and model changes can simply be artistic directions.
Regarding a Crash and Spyro game, it would be interesting, but I don't think I'd like it. The design differences between the two characters in level design, camera, etc. would clash too much. Something would have to be given up that made those games what they are. I personally dislike fixed cameras, running away from the camera, and overly linear design in 3d platformers, but I digress.
Why are they making new models to make them not look as good? I do think elora looks cool. She looks more attractive and more grown up. Ripto wouldn’t need a new model because he may not even be coming back for the fourth game though. I hope he does. I’m surprised they didn’t age Spyro up just a little bit. design is literally perfect in CTR and in his reignited trilogy. But if five years have passed or a year or two it makes sense. He looks just a little bit older and a little bit bigger. But it should be subtle.
