Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/09/2026

This week in the comments

The week is dominated by fallout from a developer interview, where the 'dragon puberty' punchline overshadowed almost every real announcement. The mood stays upbeat, but a few recurring worries (Sparx, the flight formula) resurface.

The 'dragon puberty' joke goes viral

Nearly 10% of the week's comments quote or joke about this interview answer, making it almost more discussed than the game itself.

« "I don't want to experience dragon puberty" is still my favorite line from the whole interview. Can't wait to see more of this new Spyro! »

Where's Sparx?

Several comments worry that Sparx wasn't mentioned in the interview, a topic already raised earlier this summer.

Hint at a physical release

The possibility of a physical release, mentioned in the interview, revives hope already expressed earlier in September.

Free flight: still the same worry

About a dozen comments fear free flight will replace classic level design, a direct echo of the debate running since June.
