They don't excactly need Ignitus for more games; he wasn't even around in TEN, and I don't think he will be needed to learn Spyro's fire breath in DotD. I wonder if Cynder will be around in other games? And Hunter, and the other Guardians.

I heard that there is going to be more spyro games, and i highly doubt that ignitus will die, its to soon, if they are going to make any more games tey can't kill off Ignitus he's like a father to Spyro, speking of fathers, woldnt that be crazy if Malefor WAS Spyro's father, that will be like the biggest twist EVER, i did hear Elijah Wood saying that there was going to be alot quite big twist in the nezt one, and if Malefor is Spyro's father what are they going to do about the other games?????? its not going to be about spyro stoping Malefor, maybe Malefor changes his mind about being evl and he accidently created a creature much worse than him???? i dont know well just have to wait and find out, OMG i just cant wait for DOTD to come out, its just so exiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That would sound cool, SpyroCrazy! But it's too bad thay can only be 10 generations or more apart. Great great (great) grandfather maybe...

yeah, that's something someone just gives away at an interview... I don't think someone would be thick enough to just blurt out a major spoiler like that at an official interview. That would ruin a company's entire game before it comes out. You "read" that is was... so it's not proof. It's either a fake or fan-based rumor. You have to watch out for those. You wouldn't believe the things Ive herd so far.

I really don't want anyone to die. But it could be Malefor.
Wait as soon as Malefor is gonna kill Spyro Cynder will shout " You can't kill him!" The Dark Master will say "Why?" And Cynder will say " Because... Because he's your son!" It's always the way.
