Nicholas Kole, one of the character artists who worked on the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, uploaded his version on what Cynder would look like in the Spyro Reignited universe. He even gave her an insect companion, like Sparx is to Spyro. Nicholas even did a Procreate video process on the artwork.
Nicholas Kole tweeted:
I'm keen to explore what a gang of lady elder dragons might look like, but first things first: Cynder & Sting her dragonfly(esque) best bud, imagined in the style of the Reignited Trilogy. Unofficial fanart for those who, like my wife, loved her lots!
Nicholas Kole tweeted:Alt palette- playing with something close to Black Cynder after talking with a few fans- I think dark purple is still a better fit for the tone of the RT, but I wanted to see what this would look like!
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy gained first place during the competition of game best sellers in the United Kingdom after their release last week, barely outselling both Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

GameIndustry.biz wrote:
"Although Pokémon was technically the best performer of the week, because both games are listed separately, the official No.1 is Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Activision Blizzard's remaster has started strongly, and continues the firm's success with 1990s remakes following the impressive performance of Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy.
Like that game, the title has performed very well on PS4 - 75 per cent of Spyro's sales came on Sony's platform.
That means there are two sets of 1990s remakes which sit atop the UK charts this week. Nostalgia remains a potent sales tool for video games, which bodes well for the upcoming PlayStation Classic.
Pokémon and Spyro were two of four major games released at retail this past week. Unfortunately, the other two had a tricker time on the High Street."
First 4 Figures released plans for more statue merchandise for the Spyro brand.

IGN has reached to Activision about clarification on the content download for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy that stated to need the internet in order to download Spyro 2 and 3.
IGN wrote:
"Activision has confirmed to IGN that "The trilogy will ship with content from each of the three games, including the entire first game and a subset of levels from games 2 and 3. In order for the full Reignited Trilogy offerings, a day one update is required.
When asked for further clarification, Activision confirmed this means some full levels will be included on the Reignited Trilogy disc, and other full levels will need to be downloaded as part of a Day 1 update. So, should someone purchase the Trilogy on disc but not be able to connect their console to the internet, they would be able to play those levels on the disc, but not the full, original level suites of Spyro: Ripto's Rage and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.""

Season 3 press release:
All is not right at Skylanders Academy. After being turned evil at the hands of uber-villain STRYKORE, Spyro returns as an undercover agent, set on finding an ancient artifact hidden at the Academy that will help his new dark master take over the Skylands! With Kaos out on his own quest to spread evil as a dastardly pirate captain, it will take all of the Skylanders uniting together -- along with some new characters and alliances -- to help Spyro remember the true hero he really is if they have any hope of stopping Strykore and restoring peace to the realm.
