Spyro: Special Delivery Fan Film Review

"If 1990s Insomniac Games made a Spyro animated short film" is what I describe this Spyro fan project by Dessert Monkey.

Special Delivery is a fine example of a fan film done by passion and time. There are a few fan film projects in the Spyro community and a portion of the fanbase have been anticipating this film for a while. We were shown early sneak peeks and WIP videos of Special Delivery, before two trailers dropped that lead to its full release on Spyro's 28th anniversary on September 9, 2026.

Spyro: Crisis in Chronolia Fangame Cancelled

Bundragoness has recently announced that her Spyro fangame, Spyro: Crisis in Chronolia, has been cancelled. She explained that this was due to lack of motivation and to avoid potential copyright issues with Activision after the announcement of Spyro: A Realm Beyond. She is also disallowing others from finishing the fangame for her.

 

What if they set up the Reignited Trilogy as a Coming of Age story for Spyro in A Realm Beyond?

In the first Spyro the Dragon installment of the original trilogy and its Reignited remake, a couple of Peace Keeper dragons (Gunnar, Ivor, and Ragnar) mention to Spyro that they have anticipated Spyro's potential as he ventured through the Dragon Worlds to rescue the dragons, reclaim their treasure and defeat Gnasty Gnorc and his minions.

 

The events of Spyro 1, and possibly Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Year of the Dragon, could be what finally pushed Spyro into being what these elder dragons saw in him. In the Spyro games after the original trilogy, this was never brought up again, and we never find out what potential nor destiny these elder dragons were speaking of.

Toys For Bob mentioned that the mysterious new villain of the upcoming game, Spyro: A Realm Beyond, will challenge Spyro’s abilities and push him to new emotional depths that will see Spyro grow as a hero. Perhaps in A Realm Beyond, we might see the answer to what the elder dragons say Spyro is ready for?
