August 2000, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is pleased to announce the November release of Spyro Year of the Dragon the next exciting installment in the hugely successful Spyro series which to date has sold almost 2 million copies in PAL territories alone.  

Spyro Year of the Dragon sees a progression from the first two instalments.  Upon returning from a much-needed holiday in Dragon Shores, Spyro and Sparx find themselves in the midst of the centennial egg ceremony, where the newest batch of dragon eggs are bought to the Dragon World by fairies. After an exhausting day of feasting and dancing, the dragons fall into a deep slumber. While they’re deep in sleep, the evil Sorceress and her henchmen creep up into the Dragon World and steal all of the dragon eggs.  When morning arrives, the dragons awaken to find that their newest brood has disappeared and it’s up to Spyro and Sparx to save the day as the race to collect the dragon eggs begins….
