Activision revealed today at the American International Toy Fair 2012 that their popular new franchise Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure would indeed be receiving follow-up treatment to the game. Skylanders Giants is thus far being called the “Next Chapter in the Franchise Introduces More Than 20 New Figures Including Super-Sized Giants and Characters Featuring Light Technology” (from Activision press release) and not so much a direct sequel. We know they’ll be new Skylanders released (more then 20 including 8 giant-sized figures) and from the reveal trailer it looks like Flynn and his balloon show up – giving gamers familiar Skylands to explore.
Activision has confirmed that all previously released Skylanders (and their power-ups) will be 100% compatable with Skylanders Giants – basically making a combination of two vast games to play with all the figures and expansions. Parents who are keeping track of their wallets will be shelling out more then they had hoped for as the Skylanders franchise is currently the ‘gotta have them all’ generation that was formally exclusive to Pokemon.
Suggested Retail Price for the Skylanders Giants Starter Pack is $69.99 which means we should expect another 30-40 hour experience of gigantic proportions. We hope retailers double their orders this time around for the 2012 holidays as Skylanders figures were in short supply once word got out how fun it was being a ‘Portal Master’.

Oh no, not another Skylanders game to waste our money and have very shallow gameplay and storyline!
My top skylanders is 1.stealth elf 2. Pop fizz 3. Hex
dont listen to haters. they’ll just try to ruin it for you because they are trolls. and make up excuses like “activision ruined spyro and turned him into a goblin”. i thought that he looked cool.
Did anyone else laugh at the second bandanna under Flameslingers first one?
Im gonna laugh my ass off when activision makes the FINAL skylanders and reboots again so it ruins these little kids lives, like it did us original spyro and legend of spyro fans.
@ cionoptv you got any gameplay?
THATS the sequel to skylanders spyros adventure?! it looks AWESOME
i wonder what would happen if
1. u put a giant on spyros adventure portal
2. u put a spyros adventure charecter on the giants portal.
u cant put giants in the regular game but you can still use the portal for the new game
I cant wait I just want to know the exact day it comes out
I just get all the skylanders when I hear there will be 40 giants to collect…
woud you want to use the old 32 skylanders for this game or use the new characters (including the new light core skylanders) with new attacks?
what is ure new fav skylander in giants
trigg just loves life
ooooh they found a very “creative” way to make more money…
they should have come with a better idea for a new spyro game
