Ay God, it's not the bad type of annoyance...


As far as I know, we're past the point that Toys for Bob usually reveals their games, so it should come soon. I suspect May at the latest.

I enjoy fake leaks for things like Pokemon. It's a really good time seeing them all. But for Skylanders? That's different, because most of the commnity is like 10 and under, meaning most people are incapable of making legitimate leaks. Plus, as we've seen from this, everyone's so gullible.

We're right here, y'know.
With Pokémon at least there's a guarantee of news. If it's not an event, next Corocoro, that program they used for XY or Nintendo Direct we get at least something. With Skylanders, outside of events news are literally random. Of course we can't wait until something real to talk about shows up because it's so scarce otherwise.

Thanks Aura24 I really thought it was real and I'll have had a bad surprise if you didn't tell us !
THANKS !

Can we PLEASE get some actual information instead of getting pranked over and over again? It's getting really annoying!

For the bird it's probably a photoshopped cuckoo clocker or cross crow with a hat like this one :

Or this one :

The bird is not a Skylanders character. It's from another game.

Which one ?

Not sure, there are many humanoid bird characters in different games out there.

Yeah, I remember that bird comes from... Some other game or TV series.
The only thing I'm kinda convinced about is that it should be a fantascientific one since he has a robotic body (pretty sure of it).

What one? I think I missed that.

He's talking about the photoshopped non-Skylanders bird character in one of the fake leaks.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

At first I thought that the bird was from the WWE sequel to Surf's Up, but nope.

Oh yes. It's a thing.

so there is nothing around .... we don't have any info .....

Nope. Give it a few more weeks, there's Battlecast to tide us over I guess. I think it just got localized in Spanish so it's getting to UK and US soon.

Good things come to those who wait...


...even if it's in pain in the fisher's end.

...This thread really died quickly.

I think that leak being fake crushed everyone's hopes and dreams.

NO! I AM UNDYING! EVERYONE'S HOPES AND DREAMS SHALL NOT BE VANQUISHED!

Oh don't worry,next leak is Nova Star Strike 2: Star Strike Harder.

Someone thinks that fan concept in 3D model found as early as before the magic superchargers were revealed is obviously an upcoming figure. That or they know it's a lie and are just doing it for the views on youtube.

Well, cheer up chaps. I'm sure we'll get an actual leak one of these days.
We do start getting new Skylander game news around early Summer, and May is only a week away.

I wish they did as they used to and reveal the upcoming game in February or so at the Toy Fair, and ssslllooowwwlllyyy reveal details until the game's release. That was more climactic and entertaining to me.

I have no idea what they're expecting us to do while we wait for something to happen. I mean, just give me the smallest leak or something because I really need something to do right now.

Yeah. The smallest leaks get the biggest reaction from fans.

While waiting for Skylanders news, why not focus on Pokemon Sun and Moon hype? There's so much info- oh wait.

I'm waiting on both right now, seeing which will leak first.

It really is a mystery this year. All we can do is speculate the theme/gimmick. Since figures from the previous game hint what the next game will be based around I am going to say it's going to be a space game due to Astroblast. It would be cool if the Vehicles could be used to explore planets.

No more obligatory vehicles thanks. I'm still guessing on either Smash Hit for weapon stances or Nightfall for mechanics closer to fighting games, would be a nice way to tie into a return to battle mode while still keeping the series at its beat em up roots.

I'm kinda expecting some weird music gimmick (cobra cadabra, fiesta, echo all hinted at this)

But mostly- I kinda hope we get more bug skylanders. We only have 3. Compared to the butt-ton of robots we have.

The figures hint towards the next few? Never seen a trend before.

The only thing leaking is my wallet!

Could be a coincidence I guess, but so far most people seem to agree that Eye Brawl kinda hinted toward Swap Force (he had two parts to him, each had a name), Trap Shadow hinted heavily towards Trap Team (he had a translucent trap weapon), and Tread Head hinted towards Superchargers (obvious reasons).

Oh, I hope Trig isn't telling us we're getting a circus game!

Then what in SSA hinted toward Giants?

If not the figures, then I suppose the Elder Elemental scroll did.

Quote: Drawdler

^ Wasn't Slam Bam huge compared to others then?

No, Stump Smash had the biggest in-game model. I remember there was one area with food in the game and Stump Smash's model was actually too tall to fit into the area and grab said chicken leg. X)

I think people decided it was lighting rod, because his species is storm giant.

As for the possible gimmicks in sky 6, I see several possibiltiies:

1) Massive crossover with a well known franchise: Amiibos, pokemns, sonic, etc. The fact we already got skymiibos and DI using so popular characters has opened this possibility.

2) Weapons / Armors/ Gadgets /outfits / colors that allow to customize the appearance and skills of skylanders. They could even come up with whatever boosts that turn your skylander into a “super” skylander.


3) New game mode: Sports, shooter, MOBA, etc. The fact superchargers already implemented something like this, as well as TfB not being able to change development once they got the negative feedback from SC makes it possible.

4) New functionality of the portal: Sort of dimensions.

5) Allow you to create and design your own skylands. Sort of toy box and minecraft

6) Classic gimmick: New type of figure with new type of power and the only one to be able to open elemental gates. Whatever you can think of here: Transformers skylanders ( 2 in 1 characters), evoluted skylanders ( your skylander evolutes / grows up and the appearance and powers change through its development)

7) Open world: I don’t think this will happen, unfortunately.

In the Story Scrolls of SSA, one or two of them mentioned large, ancient elementals. Very big and poweful Skylanders. These were presumed to be the inspiration of Giants.

Not two. The scroll doesn't mention numbers. It does, however, say they had the powers of Light and Dark imbued into their flesh, meaning TFB always had plans for those as backup. They are called Ancient Elementals though, which means the idea half split off as Giants, but doesn't mean it can't be used.

Sounds like those guys in SF to me.

Elder Elementals, sorry. They were referred to as giants though, but again, the current Giants weren't Elementals, just people that happen to be huge(Swarm especially, who literally just happened to grow a lot).

I would pretty happy with something like this. Sport or music would be a bit too out there for me.

I think V.V would be the one to make a sports game if anyone. TfB seems to favor more classic gimmicks while V.V like experimentation. Still, they're probably too smart to make a sports game. Vehicles were a given from the start, but sports just... isn't skylands.

Thanks for clarifying. But I personally think people are looking for ANYTHING to relate to the previous game just to say there's a connection for connection's sake.

And for 6 though, I'll admit, I have no idea what they could do.

Technically there was also a single talking Greeble beyond SWAP Force's first Life Elemental Gate which could have hinted at a bigger role for villains in the future.
And Zoo Lou has a transparent weapon as well.

But I agree, Elder Elementals aside I doubt those were proper hints even if some do seem suspicious.

Regarding Skylanders 6 I sincerely exclude any possible drastic game-changing gimmick.
We all saw who introduced vehicles and frankly I couldn't have imagined otherwise.
I expect a game focused on Skylanders with either a new team of Gimmicklanders or a new set of trap-like items with some special abilities like changing Elements or fusing characters.

But what I would really want is an open-world game (which would already be game-changing enough for my tastes) where each Element has special abilities related to the environment, a normal cast of 20/40 Cores and lots of secrets, sub-quests, exploration and fighting.
