The first 18 images from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have appeared on IGN. As they're from the Xbox 360 version, they're quite big. They also confirm all the information from ToTheGame, right down to the typo in Spyro's name.

See also Kotaku for DS screens.

Thanks go to Spyro Technics for spotting them on IGN.

#7 Rexy 11:39:02 28/04/2008
Why do I have a bad feeling that Krome Studios are not going to have a part in it anymore? We know that Etranges Liberelles or whatever have a part in the DS version but judging by the XBox 360 screenshots, it doesn't look like Krome's art style at all. That's what worries me here.

Still it looks pretty, but I can't help but wonder something skewiff is going on behind the scenes or something. o_O

#8 Dragon King 11:39:33 28/04/2008

I dobt that highly Rexy

why well Krome look like they did alot a work towards Spyro (and i mean ALOT!!!!!) and it looks like it came from the heart as well cause they would have just left it as the old kiddy Spyro storyline and never this new one with all this awesome crap going on and that would just carry on with the old kiddy Spyro.........so i dobt they would sell Spyro WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!!!!!! *plays song from ANB ad*

#10 Rexy 11:55:33 28/04/2008
Yeah, it does look like a significant step up from the style of the previous two titles. Yet, the fact remains that given what I've seen of the screenshots, I don't think Krome's art design team pushed their game THAT much in the previous few months. I still think something's not right.

It's not Krome, they've got another new developer.



^It was on the forum....I wonder who is doing it...

umm sorry Seirra is doing it not Krome

but Rexy your instincts are probrobly is just as wrong as mine

you see i thought there would be blood in the new game but i was wrong and i had a strong feeling that Seirra would had gona that far

so maybe your just over reacting just like i was........not mentally that is...

#13 Rexy 12:14:57 28/04/2008
I'm just being cautious over the issue. Apparently it's not Krome that's developing but Etranges Libellules instead, so this means that we might be in for trouble with a new and rawer developer at hand. I know they had some experience doing some videogames for Asterix and Arthur (and the Invisibles), but I need to know that I can trust them for putting forth a polished product.

#14 Dragon King 12:16:38 28/04/2008
umm your forgetting that Seirra is working with them to make this game ya know

#15 Rexy 12:18:03 28/04/2008
So? Sierra may be the publisher but that doesn't automatically guarantee them a polished game, as if Enter the Dragonfly and Shadow Legacy were of any given indication.

#16 Eternal Night 12:24:50 28/04/2008
OMG!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT!!!!

SPYRO IS OLDER!! ( Fantastic! )

AND I CAN PLAY AT CYNDER!!! YAYYYY!!!!!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT THIS GAME, I CAN'T WAITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND MULTIPLAYER! SO SO SO SO SO COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( I'm crazy smilie, put i can't wait, CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

#17 Dragon King 12:27:58 28/04/2008
uuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

*smacks head on desk so hard that it bleeds*

Krome Studios may not be working on it so the publisher (Seirra) will be taking over there work cause of the cooperation work they did with them

its like inheiriting something like.............when my mom dies i get her money cause she loved me the most because i helped her in the time of need

#18 Twilight 12:28:21 28/04/2008
I can definitely wait. That whole ultra-glossed look doesn't work well for me.

#19 Anonymous 12:39:49 28/04/2008

Cool graphics, have to say! Spyro and Cynder look little bit older too...

BUT WHERE IS SPARX? I DIDN'T SEE HIM in sreenshots. That's stupid smilie
Hopefully he will be in this game!!!

#31 Dragon Lover 13:41:21 28/04/2008
^Yup.

#32 SilverDragon 13:49:36 28/04/2008
Oh sorry, now I saw him smilie

#33 Dragon Lover 14:00:57 28/04/2008
Is it the yellow sparkly thing?

#34 SilverDragon 14:38:57 28/04/2008
Yes, I think so smilie

#35 Dragon Lover 14:46:46 28/04/2008
Ok then.

#36 Rexy 16:44:49 28/04/2008
Dragon King, I'm not Razzek at DA - that's Razz here. I'm rexrock69 out there and I haven't updated my archive in ages o.o

Whichever, I can understand the detail placed into the concept art, but the complete change in graphical style for this final instalment is still having me concerned. But if there are some critics saying some good things about its initial build, then that's good for me to know for now.

#37 Forgotten World 19:01:25 28/04/2008
*this game doesn't have enough polygons, hmmm, oh well.* Well it,s just the beginning framework for the game, right? *well couldn't they just do alot more work* We'll see at the end. So far I give the graphics a 3.25 on a gamepro bases. I'm expecting the graphics to go up to a 4.0 yet we'll have to see. this is out of a 5.0. Or rather rated 6/10. ....this is for the Xbox360

#38 SequoiaDragon 23:13:17 28/04/2008
smiliesmiliesmilie This... this...th.... This looks ALMOST the same as MY video games look! Or... at least the way I imagine them in my head. It looks ALMOST like an Interactive Fantasy game! But the stolen-from feeling is only just slight and scant, and anyway I'm waaaaay too excited to care. I cannot WAIT 4 this video game! YAY SPYRO!!! smilie

#39 Spyrodude25 00:08:35 29/04/2008
I wish krome were here to do it i really wanted to have there style for the third instalment.

Yes, Krome's graphics were cute, I think.

It's cool that Spyro and Cynder has big wings. Now they look more older dragons smilie
But still they was neverendingly cute baby's in ANB and TEN smilie

#41 SpyroGamer2008 20:41:01 29/04/2008
What's that purple bar on top of the pictures represent in which Spyro and Cynder are battling enemies in Co-Op Mode?

#42 Rexy 21:01:59 29/04/2008
I'm assuming that's a joint fury bar. If that's the case, are both characters going to perform furies at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME?!

#43 Gwenio 01:21:10 30/04/2008
That is what many other games with coop do. (Eragon and Samuri Warriors to name some)

In those games, does those bars on top represent the distance a person/character is from another person/character?

No, how long till you can use a special ability that is powerful like furies are that requires both players to fill.

#48 TrueSpyroFAN 17:57:13 02/05/2008
I CAN'T WAAAIIT!!! Why does it have to take so long for a game to come out?? >.<

#49 Dragongyrl1000 21:12:16 04/05/2008
lol In that Kotaku thing, it called Cynder "gothic like" smilie
And this is gonna be a great game! Even Hunter's gonna be in it! And the places in this game looks AMAZING!!!
