For the first time ever, skylanders is getting guest stars in the form of [Turbo Charge] Donkey Kong and [Hammer Slam] Bowser. These figures only work on nintendo platforms and will also function as amiibo, thus the fan dubbed 'skymiibo' nickname. With these skylanders, comes special vehicles which are also exclusive to nintendo platforms, these are 'Clown Cruiser' for Bowser and 'Barrel Blaster' for Donkey Kong. Below are the games which the figures are compatible with.





For the first time ever, skylanders is going online. There are two different online modes: campaign gameplay where you and another player play together in levels from the story focused campaign mode and racing where you and up to 3 other players compete in races across skylands on various terrain such as land, sea and sky. When playing with friends, you have the option to use voice chat to talk freely with your friends, however when playing with strangers voice chat is disabled. The online mode will make an appearance on Wii U, 3DS, PS4, PS3, Xbox ONE and Xbox 360, it is currently unknown if the tablet version with have the same online interactivity. The Wii version, 'SuperChargers: Racing' is exempt from online interactivity. Please use the official online topic to share online IDs.

*Wii and 3DS versions will differ from the regular version of the game, they will instead release in the form of 'Skylanders SuperChargers: Racing' and will focus primarily on the vehicles instead of on-foot gameplay.


Note: This will be edited by me or one of the other mods when new information surfaces. Off topic comments will be deleted and will result in a warning, repeated offences may result in a suspension.

Special thanks to Bifrost and Luminous35 for helping with the mod list.

There will be a strict no off topic discussion policy this year.

It's now May 16th meaning that Skylanders 5 should be revealed in the next three weeks. Expect the reveal date to be announced in the next two weeks.

Let's hope this will be a revolutionary game :/

Quote: Bifrost

Well, at least that confirms that there's a Battlegrounds-like game coming to mobile soon, starter pack and all. As long as it can be played on Android as well later :U

And the 3DS version getting a reveal along, hopefully? That half of the series needs a bit more love, with all the 3DS' capabilities.

It seems that the ios game may be the full game as it's grouped with the xbox 360 version on the list. I've taken the xbox 360 version out of italics but not the tablet version as it may be a spin off game.

Quote: Bifrost

SKU is also used as the acronym for the series as whole(Skylanders Universe is used for the books), so probably the 'Dummy' lineup is also for the game.

Interestingly there is no wii version, maybe this is pointing towards an online game?
Furthermore, the 'E3' in front of the product name is interesting - maybe Activision will have a section in Sony/ Microsoft/ Nintendo's presentation where they show off a bit of the game and they just come out and say "Pre-orders are now available!".
