Day-and-Date with the Console Version...

Activision Publishing announces that it will bring the complete Skylanders Trap Team videogame to tablets at launch, marking the first time a full Skylanders game will be available on iPad, Kindle Fire and Android tablets day-and-date with the console version. The tablet version of the game delivers the same experience with console-quality graphicsi and comes with its own high performance controller, delivering yet another significant technological leap to the Skylanders franchise.

The Skylanders Trap Team Tablet Starter Pack will include a Bluetooth Traptanium Portal; an embedded Bluetooth controller to provide the best gameplay experience possible; a built-in tablet stand; two Skylanders characters; two Traps and a display tray that lets Portal Masters keep track of the Traps they've collected and which villains they have trapped.

"Skylanders has become an incredibly appealing brand and franchise for kids around the world. And the tablet has become an incredibly appealing gaming platform for kids around the world. But we haven't been able to bring the full Skylanders experience to the tablet until now," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.

Skylanders Trap Team on tablet can be experienced two different ways:

• "Controller" - Fans can play the game just like the console version using the Bluetooth Traptanium Portal and toys with the custom Bluetooth Skylanders game controller included in the Tablet Starter Pack.
• "Touch Controls" - For players who prefer to use touch controls instead of a controller, fans have the option to play the game just using on-screen touch controls.

The Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack will be available on October 5th in North America, October 10th in Europe and October 2nd in Australia on the following platforms: a variety of iPad, Kindle Fire and Android tablets; Xbox One and Xbox 360; PlayStation4; PlayStation3; Nintendo's Wii and Wii U. A different, unique adventure also will be available on the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system.
