Existence
There has been no official announcement about this game as of yet, so as of now it is hard to tell if it even exists. Codenamerevolution is an unreliable source. Why does this game, with so little information about it, even have a page? This page, without any official announcements to back it up, only rumours, should be deleted.Michael Mad 18:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I say delete it, but I have a strong bias against Spyro. --Gaming King 13:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Appearantly, the game indeed exists. Go here, and type Spyro into the search engine. Also, it appears that the game's title is now The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. Being an official site, it is more trustworthy than a run-of-the-mill Nintendo fansite. However, we can only say that a GBA version has been announced. Michael Mad 13:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the sources. They should be useful one day. Michael Mad 09:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Another two, courtesy of a Google News for "Spyro Eternal Night":


 * Gearlog.com and Gamedaily.com


 * Both mention that Billy West from Futurama is part of the voice cast. Added (and sourced). --Stratadrake 02:21, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Billy West's Voice Role
We heard that he's getting top billing alongside Elijah Wood and Gary Oldman, but how can we be sure that he's actually voicing Sparx? For all we know he could be voicing the Ape King or something like that.

To the recent editor of the article, where did you find your source? If you can't locate it in 48 hours, then the article will sadly be reverted to the last revision, or if there's been more edits in that time, that part will be removed.

Sorry if I was sounding like a dictator, but it had to be said. Freqrexy 11:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't want David Spade to be replaced. For all we know, Sparx could sound terrible? - B.J.

Well, it's official, West's voicing Sparx. Michael Mad 18:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hunter
Does Hunter from Avalar actually appear at the end of the game. I don't have it yet so I don't know. That would not make since though, they don't meet until Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. Sonicfan122 (talk) 04:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Remember, Vivendi Games rebooted the series, starting off from scratch and having nothing to do with the previous series, yet Vivendi may want some of the original characters to return to the new series, as we have seen with Spyro, Sparx, and now Hunter. It looks to me that Hunter now wears a cape, but still has the original bow and arrow and we may bet he will free Spyro, Sparx, and Cynder from the ice that Spyro used to save them as the Well of Souls collapsed around them. From: 216.201.46.183 216.201.46.183 01:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, yeah I know that but what I am saying is that the continuty is ruined now since Hunter does not meet Spyro until Ripto's Rage. It makes since with Sparx though since they knew each other before the orginal Spyro game for the original Playstation. Sonicfan122 (talk) 04:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Here's what I'm saying: ERASE the origional series in your head! This is a brand new series! Make the third LOS game the first time we meet Hunter! Yes, I think Sierra Entertainment (owns Spyro now) and Krome Studios may bring "a few" of the origional characters back, but you must include new characters in the series. Come to think of it, there's three reasons why I like the new series better than the origional: 209.143.55.23 (talk) 01:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC) (Origionally 216.201.46.183 up above)
 * 1. Dragons are combat creatures, not gem collectors who buy things (I love Spyro's variety of attacks and abilities).
 * 2. This series has a more "complex" storyline, meaning we don't just see cutscenes before and after beating a boss in a game.
 * 3. Cynder is without a doubt a love interest for Spyro, since he has developed feelings for her after The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (yet we need to know what her personality is) and I like to have Spyro fall in love since my other favorite PS2 character, Crash Bandicoot, will have a future girlfriend in his series.


 * hey hey hey, Sonicfan, its a reboot which means that its a whole new plot which means that the events of ripto's rage or any other spyro game (besides the Legends) didn't happen or arn't going to happen. --Crasnex (talk) 01:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Plot summary
From the edit history... The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night continues the storyline established by A New Beginning, which ended with the defeat of black dragon Cynder. As the Night of Eternal Darkness approaches, Spyro is haunted be recurring visions of an impending evil. He must master powerful new abilities on an epic quest to find the Well of Souls and prevent Gaul, the Ape King, from resurrecting the Dark Master. ''

Did anyone notice that this is a word-for-word transcription from the Spyro: Eternal Night official website? This was bad form, anons, partly because of the primary source's promotional tone, and also because it did not agree with the reference cited at the time.

I've rewritten it now -- complete with a new citation for the added info -- but this is still a game under development, so we need to be especially careful that what gets stated agrees with the sources. --Stratadrake 00:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused
There's a plot and a story in the article. What's the difference? --Coconutfred73 20:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The only difference is whichever editor wrote the respective sections. I've been all but avoiding this article until having beaten the game myself (just today), but I am certainly going to get involved again, shorten the plot summary and the like... --Stratadrake 02:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I too will chip in on this once I'm done. I'm almost there though, probably would take me another day to witness the ending. Freqrexy (talk) 12:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced Reception
Why is it when ever one removes anything tagged "ciation needed" in the reception section, some one puts it back? Either find a source supporting these claims or get rid of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.187.115 (talk) 15:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Is is cited, it just isn't showing up on the page, I'll fix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.24.125.144 (talk) 03:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Glitches?
Have those of you who have played this game encountered any glitches in the gameplay? In the first level, where you have to knock the Toad Weed-thingy through the root wall, nothing happens. I flip the Toad Weed into the air, jump, and press "B" as many times as necessary to knock it into the wall, it hits the wall with a "smack" sound, and nothing else happens. I've tried it over 3 dozen times from various angles, and nothing's worked. Judging from the amount of videos on Youtube showing gameplay, no-one else has encountered this problem... Any help? (I have the Wii version.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.121.180 (talk) 18:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry dude you may want to go some where else for that... the wiki isn't a forum...Wolly da wanderer (talk) 10:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC) i need ds version cheats thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.223.62.5 (talk) 03:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Spyro's father... Paul Frees?
that is physically impossible due to the death of paul frees on november 2nd 1986 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xxpaparoach315xx (talk • contribs) 07:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This would be perfectly good logic, except that people could have gotten sound bytes from his movies that he made while he was still alive. A better way to put this to rest might be to look at the game's credits. Anyone checked that recently? Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 07:43, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

GBA edition artist, Mark Ferrari?
Don't know how to edit Wikipedia articles, but I do see on Mark Ferrari's website (and on the Effect Games canvas cycle demo) that he seems to have does a bunch of backgrounds and level art for the GBA version of this game. Not seeing him on the page though?

Halfbrick as devs ?
The halfbrick studios page says that they developped the Wii and PS2 version of the game, but I don't see it mentioned here, has anyone got information regarding their role?

Thanks in advance, 21stCenturySloth (talk) 10:24, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
