This is a tricky one. Back before Spyro: Reignited Trilogy was delayed into November, it was discovered that only the first game would be on the Blu-Ray, and that players would have to download the second and third titles digitally. This caused a bit of a stink, as some people either don't have access to the internet, don't want to take their PS4 online, or have a poor connection. We then had the delay, which many hoped was to allow Activision the time to squeeze the three games onto the disc, or at least come up with a better solution.
We're now less than a month away, and the official website for the collection still states that Spyro 2 and 3 need to be downloaded via the internet. However, a couple of people on Twitter have been in contact with various retailers, all of which claim that the Reignited Trilogy will in fact ship with multiple discs in the box, as is the case with Red Dead Redemption 2.
As you can see from the above images, the two fans pose similar questions to both Target and Walmart customer service -- will you need to download anything, and how many discs are included. Frustratingly, the answers aren't consistent; Target says the game consists of two discs but you'll need to be connected, while the Walmart employee states there will be three Blu-Rays in the box, and that no digital download is required. To add to this, one of the fans also claims to have heard from a Gamestop assistant that the Reignited Trilogy will have two discs.
We think, if this is at all true, the game could be spread across two Blu-Rays, but with different outlets offering conflicting information, it's hard to tell if they're actually in the know or not. Of course, we should wait to hear from an official source before we get carried away, and it may be that Activision's plans haven't changed at all. Still, it is interesting that several retailers have advised of multiple discs for the retro remake.
What do you think? Will Spyro: Reignited Trilogy come with more than one Blu-Ray on PS4? Are these customer advisors onto something, or are they misinformed? Don't set fire to the comments section below.

In a chat with the butcher in front of my house I've been told it will come in a refrigerated box.
How the hell does a spyro trilogy need more than 1 disc? There is no way it couldn't fit on 1 like the Crash trilogy
its actually going to come out on 1 million floppy discs!
@Boldfoxrd Probably just terrible optimisation. The file size can be as big as you want if you don't remove all the unused assets, sound files, etc., no compression, etc.
if this is true, which i doubt i fell sorry for those going to get it on the switch if rumours are true of it getting the game
They're probably going to be using those disks from the initial printing that only had the first game on them so they don't have to go to waste. Disk one will probably have Spyro 1 while the other 2 will be on the second disk. The game probably isn't going to be huge in size, they just want to get rid of all those disks.
Spyro and multiple discs are sooo '90's.
so if true then basically Activision noticed the backlash from the whole download the other 2 games thing and decided that delaying it and putting the other 2 games on a second disc was better than scrapping every disc they had already pressed that only had the first game on
makes sense honestly and was probably is best way to do it
@folgin Fair point, they'd have to replace all the cases though. Seems like a lot of manual labour, since I don't think they happen to own an automated machine that is able to take all the discs out and put them into a new case.
i was chatting with jason voorhees and he told me the game comes in 3 disc.word up son
@ApostateMage i spoke to chucky and he said it comes sith 3 disc.word up son
@folgin You know what... I reckon you're probably right.
@andreoni79 i also spoke to michael myers. and he told me spyro comes with 3 discπ±ππ.hahaha.word up son
I hope this is true. Iβll happily buy this if that is the case.
When it comes over to Switch, it'll be 6 cartridges!!!!
This is weird. All 3 Crash games were on one disc, so why not pyro too. Perhaps they added bonus videos and bonus parts, but other than that, it'll mess it up if they did this. I'll still buy it, but with slow internet, it'll take forever to download the other two (if it's just part one on a disc) and it seems like just putting one on a disc, and the others as a download only, is a pretty weird decision...IS THIS A VERY EARLY APRIL FOOLS JOKE???!!!!!
Hope these rumours are true, but I'll wait for official confirmation before assuming anything.
Well, it'll help solve the problem of the second and third game not being on the disc.
Digital download will happen
Disc + download will probably happen
Dual disc seems unlikely but who knows
Triple disc is sites garnering clicks but IMO too cost prohibitive unless as a "Spyromaniac" box set with figurine, box of dragonart matches and encased in dragonglass
"I need to know how many discs it'll be because I don't know if I have room for 2 discs in my room."
What?
Well now we know the reason for the delay.
FOR F*CKS. SAKE. ACTIVISION. STOP RUINING EVERYTHING.
Why canβt they just tell us?
@folgin Sounds right. I wonder if this means future prints will only have one disc.
Target say 2 discs and Walmart say 3 discs. Hmm...
It's not coming out on disc at all. Just a cool million double sided cassette tapes.
@JLPick most likely IF it's true is they had already pressed a butt load of discs with just the first game on so decided that doing a second disc with the other 2 one was quicker and cheaper than scrapping all the previous discs and doing it again
@Cycologist its β¬18,99 for 20 discs i guess if you order 1million discs you will get a some discount. π
Lol at the first conversation where the guy needed to know how many disks there are to see if he has enough room XD Sounds legit!
@FullbringIchigo Kind of wondering that IF it's true, are they going to up the price of the game too, considering that they possibly could if they wanted to. Right now, it's said to be $40, but if they add more discs, they could easily push it up to a full priced game.
@folgin Hmm this actually makes alot of sense...hope the release is only 2 discs.
@Flaming_Kaiser That's what they told Atari when they made E.T. π
The games better be on disc(s) for the physical copy now after this delay.
