For months, rumors have persisted that Activision is remaking the original Spyro the Dragon games for modern consoles. While we are still waiting on an official announcement, it looks like a proper reveal for the Spyro the Dragon remakes will come our way sooner rather than later, thanks to a strange new marketing tactic by Activision.

IGN associate news editor Jonathon Dornbush was mailed what appears to be a purple dragon egg, along with a note that says, "Something's about to hatch." The note is signed by someone named "Falcon McBob," which just so happens to be the name of the unverified Twitter account with the handle @SpyroTheDragon.

While this is still far from a confirmation that Spyro the Dragon remakes are in development, it is the strongest evidence yet. It seems as though Activision is now actively teasing its reveal, which means that an announcement could come any day now.

While some may be surprised that Spyro the Dragon appears to be making a comeback, the writing has been on the wall for months. Even if one discounts the many leaks about the game, there's the fact that Activision itself has made it no secret that it plans on aggressively pursuing remasters. Plus, when one considers the huge sales success that was the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, a Spyro the Dragon collection seems like a no-brainer.

What remains to be seen is if the Spyro the Dragon remakes will be timed-exclusive for PS4 like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Since the original games were three of the most beloved PS1 exclusives back in the day, it would make some sense to have the remakes only available on PS4 for at least a little bit. However, Activision could potentially stand to make a lot more money if it releases the remakes across all platforms simultaneously.

Before fans get too concerned about what platforms the Spyro the Dragon remakes are in development for, though, they should wait for the project to be officially announced. Luckily, if the purple dragon egg IGN received in the mail is any indication, an announcement should be right around the corner.

The Spyro the Dragon remakes are rumored to be in development for unspecified consoles.
