Agent 9 became Prime 8, with a more “hip” look and a gameplay that should have been similar to the Ratchet & Clank series. Vivendi asked to Blue Tongue Entertainment to create the initial concept for this new project, in which Agent 9 became a James-Bond-alike spy, but after a series of focus group with kids, they had to redesign the character to make him more “cool” to appeal more to the right audience. Sometimes in 2003 / 2004, Vivendi Universal wanted to use Agent 9 to be the protagonist of his own platform adventure game, out from the Spyro world.

Later they announced it would also launch on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 as well. However when word of this got out to fans, there was backlash and the fans on several forums expressed hate and did death threats. The version 2 was going to be Nintendo Wii Exclusive.

Activision liked the concept and decided to go with it, later they had Toys 4 Bob remove the online play and make the figures and portal required. This version is highly similar to Skylanders, even including portals and figures, however, this version did not require the figures or portal to play, and it had online play. Something interesting to note is that the flying mechanic is very similar to that used in Skylanders – It is unknown if this was on purpose or not. It is unknown if the game was cancelled before or after the cancellation of the Spyro movie, which was also set in the ‘Legend’ reboot. However, Activision decided against this game, and instead went on to create Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, the third reboot in the Spyro franchise. The game was presented to Activision, complete with working demo and production art. Later it was redone again and finally released as Skylanders. This version got cancelled, however, it was revived later by Toys 4 Bob with version 2, which introduced the portal of power and skylander figures, then called “Kingdom Heros”. Version 1 was developed by Helios Interactive and was to be exclusive to PC and Nintendo Wii. Spyro’s Kingdom is a cancelled game in the Spyro Series, which was developed, then scrapped, then redeveloped, then scrapped, but became Skylanders.
