A potential game-breaking bug in "Spyro: Reignited Trilogy" has been discovered... and it's an old one that was eventually patched out of the original versions. It has seemingly found it's way back into the new version once again. The remastered collection, which brings the beloved dragon Spyro back to life with stunning modern graphics and gameplay enhancements, is potentially marred by a critical issue that renders the third installment, "Year of the Dragon," nearly unplayable for some.
This glitch has not only frustrated players but has also seemingly slipped under the radar of major gaming outlets and, more critically, the developers responsible for maintaining the trilogy's integrity.
To be clear, I have not confirmed this issue personally, but wanted to draw attention to it as I have seen a couple reports of it occurring.
According to Savitar on twitter (@CEOofSWG):
...it's the time trial races in Year of the Dragon, the 3rd Spyro game, that can brick your save. Sometimes, it says you already have the dragon egg from the trial, even if it's your first time. If you get that notification, it means your save is now corrupted!
The core of the problem lies in the game's time trial races. A glitch often occurs indicating that the player has already collected a dragon egg from these trials—even on a first attempt. This notification is a grim precursor to a far more severe outcome: the corruption of the player's save file. Once this occurs, the only recourse is to start the game anew, a frustrating prospect for those aiming to achieve 100% completion.
