Vivendi Universal Games announced today that the next installment in the best-selling Spyro the Dragon video game franchise, Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs is scheduled for release on the Game Boy Advance in fourth quarter 2003. 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. Read more for details and a dozen screens ...

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.
