Spyro has always been a very kid-friendly and fun game series for all ages, and fans should expect that this will be the case for the next title.

This structure will mostly likely be kept for the series' upcoming entry.Īdditionally, the next game needs to have a similar tone as the original games. The first game in the trilogy had six relatively small hub-worlds, while the second and third games had three and four larger hub-worlds each, respectively. Each game in the original series consisted of several hub-worlds that each had several worlds of their own, bonus levels, and a boss to fight, along with plenty of characters for Spyro to interact with. While most other 3D platformers usually only contain one single hub-world, Spyro sets itself apart structurally by having multiple hub-worlds. Spyro games have a tried-and-true formula that has worked well in past titles, and the next game in the series should continue to stick to it. Likewise, Spyro 4 needs to incorporate some fresh new ideas that will help set itself apart from past games, while still staying true to its overall identity. When comparing Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Odyssey, each game is defined by its location and new power-ups. The Super Mario franchise, for example, does an excellent job of making each mainline game in the series feel unique by introducing brand new gameplay mechanics. Spyro 4 should probably go even further by also introducing a few new gameplay mechanics that help set itself apart from past games. The next entry should also bring back plenty of classic characters like Hunter, Money Bags, and Ripto, but also shouldn't be afraid to introduce brand new characters as well. Spyro 4 should do the same: the series has always been largely focused on 3D platforming gameplay with a ton of collectibles, striking a balance between platforming and completing various missions. The reason that Crash 4 was received so well was the fact that it took the same gameplay already established from past titles and expanded upon it in interesting and new ways. Like Crash Bandicoot 4, the next Spyro game needs to offer something very familiar to fans while also still being unique and fresh.
