Skylanders: Swap Force

The third in the Skylanders series, follow up to 2012's Skylanders: Giants.

Platform	Developer	Release Date
		Nov 15th 2013	Nov 12th 2013
		Oct 18th 2013	Oct 13th 2013

Story

The story and background for the new types of toys is as detailed below:

In Skylanders: Swap Force, Portal Masters embark on an all-new adventure in the mysterious Cloudbreak Islands, home to a mystical volcano that erupts every hundred years to replenish the magic in Skylands. During an epic battle, a brave group of Skylanders were caught in the volcano's eruption, which blasted them apart and sent them to Earth. But, the magic of the volcano gave these heroes a remarkable new power -- the ability to swap halves -- turning them into a special team known as the Swap Force.

Meanwhile, Kaos is back with a new evil plan. And now, Portal Masters everywhere must reassemble the Swap Force -- in their original form or in new combinations -- and send them back to Cloudbreak to save Skylands!

Characters

As well as being able to use all of the Skylanders from the original two games, Skylanders: Swap Force introduces 32 brand new characters to play as. This new lineup is made up of 16 Swap Force Skylanders which break apart into two pieces that can be mixed-and-matched between them all and 16 new regular "core" Skylanders that won't have the swapping feature.

Tech Magna Charge Spy Rise Countdown Wind-Up Heavy Duty Sprocket Big Bang Trigger Happy Lightcore Countdown Nitro Magna Charge Kickoff Countdown Springtime Trigger Happy

Water Wash Buckler Freeze Blade Riptide Punk Shock Blizzard Chill Anchors Away Gill Grunt Lightcore Wham-Shell Dark Wash Buckler Nitro Freeze Blade

Fire Blast Zone Fire Kraken Fryno Smolderdash Fire Bone Hot Dog Lava Barf Eruptor Lightcore Smolderdash Volcanic Eruptor Dark Blast Zone Jade Fire Kraken

Undead Night Shift Rattle Shake Roller Brawl Grim Creeper Phantom Cynder Twin Blade Chop Chop Lightcore Grim Creeper Legendary Night Shift Legendary Lightcore Grim Creeper Quickdraw Rattle Shake

Life Stink Bomb Grilla Drilla Bumble Blast Zoo Lou Thorn Horn Camo Ninja Stealth Elf Lightcore Bumble Blast Dark Ninja Stealth Elf Legendary Zoo Lou Jolly Bumble Blast

Magic Hoot Loop Trap Shadow Star Strike Dune Bug Super Gulp Pop Fizz Mega Ram Spyro Lightcore Star Strike Dark Mega Ram Spyro Enchanted Hoot Loop Enchanted Lightcore Star Strike

Air Free Ranger Boom Jet Pop Thorn Scratch Turbo Jet-Vac Horn Blast Whirlwind Lightcore Warnado Legendary Free Ranger

Earth Rubble Rouser Doom Stone Slobber Tooth Scorp Hyper Beam Prism Break Knockout Terrafin Lightcore Flashwing Dark Slobber Tooth

That includes new poses for 16 old characters from the first two games and eight Lightcore versions of new and old, bringing the total number of new playable toys to 75. That's a grand total of 174 toys if you include the 99 from Spyro's Adventure and Giants.

In the brand new Starter Pack you will get three Skylanders, that's two Swap Force and one Series 3 returning Skylander. It'll be Wash Buckler, Blast Zone and Ninja Stealth Elf for the consoles and Free Ranger, Rattle Shake and Volcanic Eruptor for the 3DS. There is no Portal Owner's Pack this time due to the need to use the new portal.

To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders: Swap Force will be blue instead of the green/orange currently seen on the Spyro's Adventure and Giants toys.

Adventure Packs and Battle Packs

There will be two new Adventure Packs and two new Battle Packs as part of Swap Force. The Adventure Packs are called Tower of Time and Sheep Wreck Island. The Battle Packs are called Fiery Forge and Arkeyan Crossbow.

Tower of Time includes new Skylander "Pop Thorn" as well as the Tower itself and two Magic Items "Battle Hammer" and "Sky Diamond".

Fiery Forge includes new Skylander "Bumble Blast", reposed Series 3 "Knockout Terrafin" and the battle item "Fiery Forge".

Triple Packs

Again there will be triple packs with three characters in them.

A: Slobber Tooth, Lava Barf Eruptor, Super Gulp Pop Fizz
B: Zoo Lou, Mega Ram Spyro, Blizzard Chill
C: Star Strike, Anchors Away Gill Grunt, Big Bang Trigger Happy
D: Scorp, Twin Blade Chop Chop, Heavy Duty Sprocket
Magic: Mega Ram Spyro, Super Gulp Pop Fizz, Star Strike (Walmart exclusive)

Swap Force Abilities

The new Swappable characters can do more than just swap, each of them has a movement ability associated with their lower half, this ability can unlock the special Swap Zones that you'll find in each level.

These abilities are exclusive to the swappable Swap Force characters and have not been retroactively given to existing characters. Just like there are two new characters for each element there are two characters for each ability (you can still manage to get one of each element and have one of each movement type if you choose them carefully).

Portal of Power

The game uses a brand new Portal of Power, redesigned to be able to recognise the ever changing forms of the Swap Force toys. It is unknown whether the new portal will work with Spyro's Adventure and Giants so don't go throwing the old portal out just yet.

To help with the swapping in the 3DS game you will be able to load in all of your figures rather than be stuck with the limit of just two figures that you had in the last two games.

Platforms

The game will appear on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii, Wii U, and 3DS as well as on mobile devices and the web.

So, doesn't mean that wham shell, voodood, warnado, etc. can't be S3, because its the third series of skylanders, not of that character.

#1739 SkyLover 04:26:03 23/04/2013

I agree with @Ace Dragon, those characters can't be series 3 if they were never series 2. It has nothing to do with it being the first or second game, that doesn't define whether the character is series 1,2,3 etc. if that was the case then Sprocket, Flashwing, Hot dog etc. would have had the series 2 logo on the packaging, which they didn't. If that character gets a re-posed figure then that would be considered their series two, if they get re-posed a third time then that is considered their series 3.

#1737 Camo1234 21:37:28 22/04/2013

Because it is the 3 game you are them in SSA (S1) then you can still play with them in SG but they don't have a new veraint (S2) now the third game (S3) that's what I think

#1735 Ace Archdragon 15:43:48 22/04/2013

V Problem... , , , , , , and were never S2, so how could they be S3?

#1734 ShadowM 14:58:10 22/04/2013

I think the S3 are:








:stealth elf:
And the 8 giants
Because why hould they leave them out when the haveen't even been on Giants

#1733 ncis yo 11:14:10 22/04/2013

According to my calculations I belive the S3 skylanders are
Air: and
Life: and
Undead: and
Earth: and
Fire: and
Water: and
Magic: and
Tech: and

#1732 S641840 23:25:57 21/04/2013

Just wondering, how many skylanders do you have (include items, sidekicks, and locations. You do not have to do this.
I have 82.

#1731 sklndrscientist 21:43:19 21/04/2013

Whoever is revealed next probaly won't come out until a while after. Like in Giants take Thumpback, Eye Brawl, and Ninjini for example.

Skylanders WHERE DO YOU GET ALL OF THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES

First you have toys coming to life

THEN YOU HAVE SWAPPABLE BODIES

And why do these games always come around my birthday?

I bet these games take them a year to make each time, since they always come around the same time of year.

#1726 Can_Man99 02:28:59 21/04/2013

that is interesting
