No, I'm certain they are not replacing Spyro. Like i said, Mystic Galaxies (maker of Grandwing) and Sierra/Activision (owners of Spyro) have seemingly NOTHING to do with each other. I 'll go to the Activision forums and ask about Grandwing.

Grandwing starrs a Griffin called firo and it is by Mysic Galaxies. Spyro is by Sierra/Activision, so I don't think Spyro will end as the two companies/developers don't have a thing to do with each other as far as I can tell.

We were assure there will be more Spyro games, though LOS is over, yes. LOS was a reboot of the series so as to allow for more expansion and growth. They wouldn't go to all that trouble and just throw Spyro aside for some new Grandwing game.

I heard from a topic in the forum that there not making anymore Spyro. And that this new game is taking his place. It's called Grandwing. The main character is a griffin called Firo. And it is like Spyro 1, 2 and 3 (having portals, gems etc). smilie So I think DOTD is the last off Spyro. smilie

And I don't think it's a rumor. Because many sites, including Wikipedia, is saying the game is real. But I'm not quit sure if it is replacing Spyro or not so don't get sad yet! They might still make more Spyro!
