Has anyone heard or read anything on this?

I doubt that will happen. But I'm hoping it will in the sequel.

same here

I hope so.
If you read the back of the adventure packaging it mentions future skylanders games like they already have them planned.
I cant remember what it says for sure though
With all the hints in game too and a big interactive website I reakon there will be new upgrades (or different skill tree availible) for characters and higher levels

I read the back of my starter pack and my pariate seas adventure pack and nothing implied future games. However, sequels, new characters, and new abilities for the characters we already have sounds totally possible.

I would assume the Figures are agnostic to level and abilities; simply having a bar code like read to communicate. This means a future game could easily read/write info needed for additional levels and abilities gained and levels within. The tricky part, is how the original game would handle the extra data with rendering the upgraded Skylander from the second game incompatible.

However, that isn't that hard of a detail to work out and it would truly surprise me if Activision had not already planned for it. You do not put the cost of this game, and more importantly cost of plastic molds, marketing, advertising, demo days, etc in to anything except future franchises. And franchise in the gaming industry means more than two to three years.

Let's all hope so

Sorry I may have misread.

I think it was somewhere in the lower left corner on the back (small print).
