Swappable. Unstoppable. Tons of New Characters Revealed...
Activision shares with us the new E3 trailer for Skylanders SWAP Force (see our story HERE). SWAP Force builds upon the success of the franchise's signature gameplay with an all-new innovative play pattern - swapability - that gives players 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. Players 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.
In addition to the video, tons of new Skylanders SWAP Force character toys have been unveiled (see our gallery below). In total, more than 50 collectible characters will see release for Skylanders SWAP Force including:
• 16 new SWAP Force characters
• 16 new Core Skylanders characters
• 8 LightCore Skylanders characters
• 16 new versions of fan-favorite Skylanders from the previous games, each featuring an all new “Wow Pow” upgrade power
