A fire-breathing Spyro drone is flying across America to deliver a copy of Spyro Reignited Trilogy to Snoop Dogg

Alight of the Valkyries.

A Spyro the Dragon drone is flying from New York City to Los Angeles to "personally" deliver a copy of Spyro Reignited Trilogy to Snoop Dogg.

It seems the pair become BFFs after Snoop retweeted Spyro's "I'm back" tweet, adding: "Yooo my lil neffew @SpyroTheDragon lookin straight !! Bring me that new Spyro Reignited Trilogy!"

Since then, Spyro's been on the move to make Snoop's dreams a reality. So far, the drone - which can also breathe fire - has stopped to set alight a Toasty-lookalike, watch someone get a tattoo of him, and do a little drag racing over Spooky Swamp.

To keep abreast of the latest, keep an eye on the Spyro Twitter page. Thanks, ResetEra.

Just in case you missed it, a new Half-Life mod replaces Gordon Freeman with Spyro the Dragon. Year of the Dragon is now out in early access, complete with a playable demo to give you a taster.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is out on 13th November, 2018, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
