What is the North American release date of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!?

The North American release date of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! was November 2, 1999.

Insomniac Games developed the sequel for Sony's original PlayStation after the strong reception of Spyro the Dragon. The follow-up moved Spyro beyond his home Dragon Realms into Avalar, where Elora, Hunter, and the Professor summon him to stop the sorcerer Ripto and his allies, Crush and Gulp.

The North American launch came on November 2, 1999, while the European release followed on November 5, 1999. That small regional gap can cause confusion when dates are copied from international release lists. The game was also known as Gateway to Glimmer in PAL regions, although that was a regional title rather than a different release.

Spyro 2 expanded the original formula with several new abilities, including underwater swimming, ladder climbing, head-bashing, and hovering after a glide. Its three main homeworlds—Summer Forest, Autumn Plains, and Winter Tundra—connect the game's individual adventure realms.
