This is not the last Spyro game ever, but the movie might corrupt the next year 4 Spyro. Micheal and Chris say there is more after DotD.

Not at all. They'll definately come back! Though I wonder if the series will now be called The Legend of Spyro. Just like how Metal Gear is now Metal Gear Solid.

To Dawn: I think they might show up in other games too. Ex: Hunter is showing up in this trilogy when he was in the original trilogy so there's a good possibility that the others will show up in the next games

To Spyro LUVA: If you search on youtube for DotD interview it tells that the owner or whoever is speaking they say that this is the last game for The Legend trilogy and then there's a poster on this somewhere for the movie- Hope that helps smilie

Hey, do you think just because this is the end of the trilogy (the game) Cynder The Guardians, and the Chronicler has left for good, like not showing up in any other games. "/

and they wouldn't kill spyro and cynder off. After all, how would they continue the series if he was dead?

#2239 Dsc 20:22:05 08/06/2008
I had a feeling they would continue it.

With this evidence on hand it obviously means that Spyro and Cynder lives!
