The official The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon website has updated with several wallpapers and a screensaver. They've also added in more screenshots and concept art but they're all ones we've seen before.



It also looks like Etranges Libellules are getting a new logo soon.

If you are looking for new screenshots, there are a couple you might not have seen yet on Xbox.com. You can also find them all in the new look gallery here on darkSpyro.

The folks at Spyro's Lair have added their first new mini-game since release. Wings of Fury sees you play as either Spyro or Cynder (there are apparently some differences between them), in the new Dawn of the Dragon style, flying through up to ten levels of near constant air combat.

You can find the game by clicking on Activities once you're in the Lair.


Unfortunately the game doesn't appear to add your score to your Spyro's Lair scoreboard but you can still mark your achievement on a highscore table with a 3 letter name at the end. Edit July 1st: It does record your score to Spyro's Lair now.

It's another year that has rolled on by and darkSpyro celebrates its fourth birthday. Since this time last year we've had the addition of a guide for the latest game, The Eternal Night, a new guide of the old game Enter the Dragonfly and the rapid expansion of the Guidebook which now contains over 700 characters.

As for statistics, well the site has received over 30 million hits, the forum has broken the 1000 registered members mark and there are now currently around 175,000 posts. The forum has gained several new features including the much requested Private Message service.

What's in the future? I made a comment regarding a new Guidebook last year, that's progressed since then and is still on its way, as too are reworkings of the Season of Ice and Attack of the Rhynoc sections. And of course a guide for the new game Dawn of the Dragon once it becomes available towards the end of the year.

It appears that much like the previous years, the banner on Sierra's forum is indeed the new boxart. You can see them all (except PS3 for some reason) over on Amazon.com.

A new batch of 21 screenshots has arrived, though they look a lot like the previous bunch. You can check them out in their full glory in the The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon gallery.

Spyro's Lair has updated its avatars to match the new style of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. This time they've made it possible to create Spyro and Cynder exactly so expect to see a few of them bouncing around.

After ticking down for the past few days the countdown on Spyro's Lair has reached zero. And with impeccable timing nothing happened. UPDATE: Several hours later and here it is: the minisite for The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.

Developed by newcomers to the series, Etranges Libellules and Tantalus Interactive (DS version), the game appears to be taking a much more realistic look after the previous two Legend of Spyro games. The game is due to appear on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS this October.



The minisite for Dawn of the Dragon is up and running with the official Press Release, five screenshots and five pieces of Concept Art. You can also see those images in our gallery.

The first 18 images from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have appeared on IGN. As they're from the Xbox 360 version, they're quite big. They also confirm all the information from ToTheGame, right down to the typo in Spyro's name.

See also Kotaku for DS screens.

Thanks go to Spyro Technics for spotting them on IGN.

Confirmation of the information from tothegame has appeared in Sierra's own news section.
