Sierra Entertainment just announced The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon that will make its way across a whole bunch of platforms, including the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2 and Nintendo DS. This will be the third chapter in the popular Legend of Spyro trilogy, featuring voice acting from two popular Hollywood leading men - Elijah Wood and Gary Oldman. In addition, you will also hear the voices of Christina Ricci, Blair Underwood, Mark Hamill and Wayne Brady throughout the game, making one wonder just how much closer to Hollywood will computer games get in the near future.

In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Sypro teaming up with an unlikely ally - Cynder, his former enemy, to face his most challenging mission to date. As the Dark Master’s (voiced by Mark Hamill) evil envelopes the world like a plague, Spyro must fulfill his destiny and unlock the true power of the purple dragon within him to stop the Dark Master in his tracks. The game introduces two never before seen elements into the Spyro universe: Spyro can now fly at any time and players can drop-in/drop-out with the new cooperative feature. The co-op feature allows players to have the option of completing the game as either Spyro or Cynder, giving them more freedom to explore Spyro’s world in completely new ways.

Parents need not fret where online child safety is concerned, since the Moshi Monsters team diligently monitors site activity According to Al Simone, senior vice president, Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment, “Spyro has grown up a lot since his debut, and players are going to notice advanced gameplay, character design and story lines in Dawn of the Dragon. The game takes some exciting twists and turns - fans of the series and newcomers alike will experience non-stop fun, a renewed sense of intensity and the type of challenging adventure only Spyro can overcome.”
