The will rerelease Animorphs in 2012 with new covers. Additional changes besides the new covers may or may not happen. If all goes well, they will make Animorphs 2.0. What thta will be, exactly, is unknown.

So might graduate from high school and go to college with Animorphs books...sounds like fun! and I'll probably have a job by then...

Here is one idea that I'm not sure has been discussed.

I would like to see within the re-release of the books, I longer version with more detail. I know that what we have so far was 54 books, but some of them were completely useless and took away from the main story line (Jake's grandpa, Cassie's Sydney trip). It would be better if those were just a few chapters of a bigger storyline.

I would like to see about 10 books or so, each one much longer and more advanced than the old books. Maybe have roughly 4-5 main characters narrate it in different segments. Still cover the full story, but just take out some of the stuff that didn't need to be there, while adding some new material to the storyline.

That just seems to me it would make more sense.

Although I've said before I don't want any change to the books if they re-release, after thinking more about it, I think this would be want I want to see.

Also, if they do decide to continue the story, can't they just say that The One was one of Crayak's inventions and have the Ellimist turn time back to the final battle, changing everything by not allowing the Blade ship to escape?

Maybe Visser 3 doens't die and then the story can continue with them fighting on a broader scale, in sort of an all out war (but still guerilla warfare tactics).
I went to the window and looked up at the stars. Somewhere up there, around one of those
cold, twinkling stars, was the Andalite home world. Somewhere up there was . . . hope.

<They'll come,> Tobias said. <The Andalites will come. And until then . . . >

I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Yeah," I said. "Until then, we fight."

2012... two years! Why two years? I guess because 2012 is supposed to be the "doomed" year. LoL. I look forward to the re-releasing and 2.0.

The latest Hirac Delest update said we were expecting the rerelease either late this year or early 2011. Maybe they wanted time for people to get into the series before the world ends  :P

Hey guys, I'm really behind on animorphs news...last I checked there were rumors of trying to make animorphs 2.0 happen, but I take it its definitely happening now? Do we have more info on it at all? I understand their re releasing the orignals, but does this mean new books as well? if so, do we know wether or not it would pick up from the original timeline, or if this is more of a reboot? Either way its exciting to see this getting revived again.

i don't think they should rewrite the last book, just continue from it. This would be a brand new world of animorphs, it would be more star wars i think. It would definately have to incorporate more space aspects.
