they would never kill spyro. if anyone is going to die in this game, it should be ignitus. he's really important to spyro and it would be real dramatic and they can keep going with the spyro games!

I don't think that Spyro will die. But I'm thinking up a cool ending like Spyro deafeats the Dark Spyro in a cave and in the middle of the battle the cave just suddenly cruches spyro and the dark master cynder and sparx escape then every ones boo hoo when the credits roll but at the end of the credits the Chronicler or Ignites says: And So is the death of Spyro and Malefor. (Spyro's paw pokes out.) Or not. then it goes to the start screen. wouldn't it be a big clif hanger then gamers will be eager to find out more!
Um I just want to know is Spyro the ONLY dragon game?

draconiangem, you talk as though this is part of the original series of games, but it's not, it is a reboot of the series.

There is no way Spyro can die you sillies! This is saposed to be a pre-series, sort of an episode 1 sort of deal. How on earth would that work in the time line if he has only just met Hunter and NO ONE else that eventually meets and fights in the other games. Hunter is a part of Avalar, and is linked to the other games, so I wouldn't be surprised if others fallow... if Spyro died, that would only make all the games we have played over the years an afterlife? It wouldn't make sense, so that's why it can't happen.

i will cry for months if spyro dies. it would end the whole spyro games. but mabe if there are other games in the futur and spyro does die, mabe in a nother game he will come back 2 life like magic! that would b cool. but i hope spyro does not die.

I wonder how the graphics will look on the Playstation 2. I know it will be a lower resolution than the amazing Xbox 360/PS3, but I'll still like nonetheless.
Anyway, I think Spyro should die because it'll make the story that much more interesting! If Spyro and the Dark Master both die, how cool would that be? Someone has to die...
