Skylanders SWAP Force News: Skylanders SWAP Force is set to take over both current and next gen consoles with innovative new ideas later this year.
Three new Skylanders Swap Force trailers were released today to try and whet your appetite for the upcoming release. The first trailer is the “Just like SWAP force” trailer which features some of the Skylanders core characters trying to swap and it just won’t work. The second trailer is the “Countdown” trailer, featuring one of the new Skylanders SWAP Force characters who literally loses his head. The third and final trailer for today is the “Hitting the Wall” trailer, featuring the all-new SWAP force characters, Fire Kraken and Wash Buckler.
For those who might not have been keeping up on the latest Skylanders game, Skylanders SWAP Force builds upon the success of the franchise’s signature game play with an all-new innovative play pattern - swapability - that gives kids more choice than ever before by letting them swap the top and bottom halves of the toys to create their own characters. The game lets Portal Masters reconfigure 16 SWAP Force characters into more than 250 unique combinations. Kids can mix and match characters’ powers and moves, and then bring them to life in the game. Fans of the franchise also can play Skylanders SWAP Force with their entire collection of characters from both Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure® and Skylanders Giants, now with the added capability of jumping.
“With Skylanders, we didn’t just create a beloved new franchise, we actually created an entirely new category that brings the world of physical toys and video games together like never before. And now with Skylanders SWAP Force, we are pushing the genre we created forward with another big innovation: customisation,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. “The idea that kids can customise their own characters in the physical world, and have their unique combinations recognised in the virtual world, is an idea as big as the concept of bringing toys to life itself.”
