Darth Vader much?

Still, it's interesting to see these details that could've been added in if not for the sudden development changes and rushed time.

regardless, i agree, i don't think we need another TLOS game

This does indeed fill in some lore from the TLoS series that might have been missing, as well as some additional content/lore. For example, Ignitus was actually intended to be Spyro's biological father, but the idea of Malefor being his father was tossed around too.

Some people have been speculating that this hints at a new game. However, there is no suggestion or inference of this being so (and also because the series is basically done and Activision holds all the rights and stuff). I think people just find that all this extra lore (such as the revealing of a new character) provides a basis for a story from which a game can be developed. And, as Stormy said:
