Finished The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night and wondering when you're going to find out what happens next? Well wonder no longer. Velvet Octopus, involved with the upcoming Legend of Spyro film, have posted the first information about the third entry to the trilogy.

Quote:
  • First appearance on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
  • Epic culmination of "Legend of Spyro" storyline Spyro finally faces the Dark Master
  • Fly at any time - first free flight in a Spyro game
  • Co-op play with Cynder (female dragon)
  • Global release Oct/Nov 2008


Other platforms aren't mentioned but I wouldn't cross them out just yet.

And even though this will wrap up the Legend of Spyro story they also go on to mention that annual releases of Spyro on all major gaming platforms in 2009 and beyond are planned.

UPDATE: Called "Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour"? EBgames, they list PS3, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360 and DS versions of the game.

Thanks go to Vitani333 on SpyroForum and Neal from SpyroWorld.

Ah I see,
Erernal night was also made in the same month as the New beginning. plus I think that this game will be made in the same month as the other two, yet I can see how the other game (TEN) didn't fare so well.

Dude! What if Cynder gets turned evil, cuz the Chronicler did prodict that she would and lets not forget that spyro is facing the dark master and no doubt she'll be there. Who knows?


Who knows maybe Cinder gets killed off by the dark master. you won't know untill the game comes out.

Wow! Just imagine what spyro is going to look like on the PS3.

Also imagine what the enemies are going to look like in the game, this could get brutal.

Think about how huge the enimies in TEN were, that makes you wonder how huge and powerfull the enimies in TDH will be! I cant wait for TDH!! Free flight might be fun but then again it could get realy hard, and would Cynder have free flight too?

Agreed!

On the plus side, I bet that they will make the game longer, because this is the last game after all.

Expect the realese date to be set back a few months, because this company is making this game on the PS3. rather than the other two games that were made on the PS2.

Well, I think that the final boss will be the Dark Master. Just look at the other two games, ANB; the final boss was Cynder. TEN, the final boss was Gaul. I don't think that the next one will be any different. They are working on this one harder but I think that it will be the exactly the same, you got to hand it to them, it is a good stopping place. smilie

Don't you suppose that they will show more new characters to the series like smilie . (I hope I got that right )

Besides, the company will probably show Ripto and why he hates dragons, in the later series. Maybe this game will show even newer characters, because they feal like it. Expect this game, and the other game to show up ( storywise ) in the future and past games. Plus there would be no reason to put up new characters like smilietto: in one or two games and have him show up anywhere else. Besides I bet the top 20 characters are going to be very important in the later games.

Well I would have felt that to make the trilogy really stand out, there could be a more powerful entity than even the Dark Master himself and that could be the final boss. It tends to work in trilogies like this. We find out in Star Wars (particularly Return of the Jedi) that Darth Vader wasn't pure evil but the Emperor was pulling the strings on him. And there are also quite a few games in my collection that resulted in the final antagonist being a more threatening one than what is assumed as your main antagonist at the beginning.

Heck, even Krome Studios did the same thing with their Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series; for most of the time it was all one big confrontation with Boss Cass, but that apparently received a dynamic finish through Night of the Quinkan, in which Cass was reduced to an ally role apparently. >.> Given their direction with said series, I feel that Krome could pull something out of the bag with this one.

The only person I could see at this point being a different end guy would be the Chronicler. Maybe he gets annoyed that Spyro did something different to what he's written down and has run out of Tipp-Ex.

Lots of people may not agree with me. Except the last two LOS games hat the end levels that were more scary than the rest. What I bet will happen, is that this game will have it's final level be teen rated. Besides this game will have the dark master as the final boss. Also, the preview to this game is only at it's beggining stages. smilie

I think that Cynder will be stronger but no have the Dark Powers. I don't think that she will be able to because she is no longer connected to the Dark Master. Still, you never know. smilie
