IMTA alum Elijah Wood will provide the voiceover for The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, the third chapter in the popular Legend of Spyro trilogy which will be released this fall for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION3, Wii, PlayStation2 and Nintendo DS. Reprising their roles as the characters of Spyro and his mentor Ignitus, are two popular Hollywood leading men, Elijah Wood and Gary Oldman. In the last game of the trilogy, Sypro teams up with Cynder, his former enemy, to face his most hardest mission. The game has two new twists; Spyro can now fly at any time and players can drop-in and out. The new co-op feature allows players to complete the game as either Spyro or Cynder. Vivendi Games Mobile is also making The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon available for mobile phones throughout Europe and North America.
