[edit] Gameplay
This is the first Spyro game that a player can fly at anytime they want (free-fly mode). The game also features a co-op (two player) play with Cynder. Four never before seen breaths are rumored as well used by Cynder. Also, the game introduces players to 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. Co-op play is confirmed and one player can swap out between Spyro and Cynder at will. While Spyro still commands fire, electricity, earth, and ice as his powers, Cynder controls poison, wind, shadow, and "fear". Also, along with the standard power ups that gems will bring, Spyro and Cynder can now both equip dragon armor in pieces that they find. Spyro and Cynder have also undergone a small makeover to make them seem more adult and larger.
[edit] Plot
In this epic culmination, or "climax" game, Spyro, Sparx, and Cynder wake up in the future. In the final chapter of the trilogy, players find Spyro teaming up with Cynder to face and defeat Malefor, the Dark Master and first purple dragon ever born, but banished into exile, hoping to save the Dragon World from evil and darkness that is plaguing the world. In the last cutscene of the previous game, "The Eternal Night," you can see the character "Hunter of Avalar" in the bottom-left corner, where he stares at Spyro, Cynder and Sparx stuck in suspended animation for 3 years until they reawaken from their long sleep.
[edit] New characters
The Dark Master and Hunter of Avalar will make their first full appearance in this game. It is currently unknown whether any other additional characters from the original Spyro the Dragon series will be included.
