Video Gaming News - April 2003
Los Angeles, CA (April 25, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games announced
today that the next installment in the Spyro the Dragon video game franchise,
Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Game Boy
Advance in fourth quarter 2003.
From Vivendi Universal:
In this platform action/adventure game, Spyro and his friends have
inadvertently torn a hole in the fabric of space between the Rhynoc and Dragon
Realms. At the command of the elusive Ripto, droves of Rhynocs are now pouring
into the Dragon Realms. Spyro must help close the hole quickly before the portal
and Ripto’s ego grow too large and the two realms fuse together permanently.
Developed by Digital Eclipse Software, Inc., Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs,
features fourteen new isometric lands, three playable characters, and new Spyro
abilities including the Head-Butt Slam, Cyclone Attack, plus head-to-head and
cooperative multiplayer game modes never seen before in a Spyro GBA game.
“Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs continues the Vivendi Universal Games tradition
of strong character-based franchises and quality handheld game experiences,”
said Philip O'Neil, SVP Sales & Marketing, Vivendi Universal Games. “The new
game features RPG elements that will offer more depth than previous Spyro
titles, including quests, mini-quests, and a new inventory system, creating
multiple ways to enjoy the Dragon Realms.”
A winner of a 2002 Parents’ Choice Fun Stuff Award, the Spyro the Dragon
video game franchise has sold more than 11 million units worldwide to date.
