Jumping the gun a little, Toys R Us have included something called "Skylanders Imaginators" in the Character/Theme category for searching on their website. The category is completely empty when clicked on but this would seem to be the title for the next Skylanders game.


We are anticipating a full reveal later in the week (tomorrow most likely) but in the meantime you can check out our Skylanders Imaginators forum for all the latest finds, like these three figures:

Today marks the official release of Skylanders Battlecast in the US and Canada. The mobile collectible card game launched earlier in the year in a few countries but this week sees many more countries added and an update to the game that brings in the final boss.


To collect cards you can either purchase the Battle Packs and Booster Packs physically in stores ($9.99 and $4.99) or you can purchase them digitally from within the game itself. In game you can earn coins to buy those packs by completing quests and missions or you can just choose to directly purchase coins with real money. There are also free cards given away daily to help bolster your collection.



The most recent update to the game has also finally added in the ability to add friends in order to battle them directly, so get on over to our Skylanders Battlecast board to join in.

You can find the free download of the game on the App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.

Forum member skylandsfan has spotted the first new Skylander from the next game. Found on the cover of an officially licensed calendar we can tell that this new penguin-esque Skylander is part of the water element but if it's also a new type of toy it is not immediately obvious what that new function could be.


Skylanders SuperChargers was officially announced on the 3rd of June 2015 so even though announcements have been getting later and later each time hopefully it won't be too much longer before this year's instalment is unveiled.
