It's not fake, it's just a lazy write-up.

By the way, that news that we had found is fake. (The thing that you mentioned Spyro LUVA.) I had taken a look at it myself. These ppl obviously haven't looked at the official website for the Spyro website. They said that DotD took place 10 years after TEN!! (They also couldn't spell Malefor's name rightsmilie)

SpyroGirlCazy, E10 means for everyone, yet they recommend it more for someone 10 or older.

smilie I have a terrible feeling that the wonderful and mysterious Cynder will be no longer with us by the end of the battle with Malefor... My guess is she will protect Spyro in some way and sacrafice her life for his because only he can defeat the dark master by unlocking the true power of the purple dragon...
I will be so sad not to see Cynder again, might even go so far as to say I will be devistated possible not be able to continue to play the game though if something happens to her... so just incase this sad day comes Im going to playing her character as much as possible even though Spyro is the main event... Long live Cynder!! The best female dragon character in the history of the game!!

No DARK CYNDERR this is NOT the last Spyro game. Also, I like that ending Pip!smilie I'm sure there are dragon games, like I of the Dragon (discontinued), and Eragon.
