Oh well, Still banking on a Friday announcement. Although that's getting less and less likely by the hour. Honest question, was Superchargers hinted at on the social media accounts at all? Genuinely curious.

If it was to be revealed on Friday, we would have gotten at least 3 leaks by now, such as mega blocks or amazon or some other thing. Plus, we've always known the date of each reveal at least a day before it happens. Maybe, the Mega Blocks company got in trouble last time when they accidentally revealed Wallop, Snap Shot and Wildfire before the reveal of Trap Team, and have learned from their mistakes. Also the first time that we found a Superchargers leak was when the Spitfire prototype was posted on some social media site.

Yes, Instagram first by a stunt driver!


So Skylanders Battlecast hinted the same weapons from pengu kaiser right? I don't have the equipment for this. Somebody should datamine battlecast to check for some clous.

Mega Bloks have not been a thing for 2 years now... And I meant officially teased. On any of the official Skylanders accounts.

No, the guy mistook it for Bladed Braces which looks nothing like them.

a friday announcement would be nice

Ah OK. But still somebody should check it out the data.

The developers released the game on NZ at an early stage and added as the release grew near, doubt they had time to even add future stuff. The game is also always online, so they can put stuff behind updates until the last moment.

I'm sure the reveal has to be this weekend or tomorrow at least? I mean, if Sky 6 WAS shown at that event, which chances are, it was, since they said Battlecast wasn't the console game this year, something else was. Surely this weekend or tomorrow.

At this point it'd be silly not to announce it by the end of this week. How many days do they want press to prepare for the reveal? How much did they announce there?

Well there was something more then Battlecast. I'm sure they showed from around 4-6 characters and a bit of the gameplay and how everything works.

Oh, I know that Sky 6 was definitely announced, I was just stating that it'd be silly for them to hold it off any longer than this weekend. Unless, you know, the next game is huge and the Press needs this much time to edit their coverage

Also, maybe they announced the TV series too and showed some sneak peeks.

I hope the penguin guy is called Penghis Khan.

It's questionable. They showed a lot of Battlecast and some Sky 6 at that event.

We're getting close! We are really getting close! It just HAS to be this weekend. Please be tomorrow!

Oh... So I kept trying the "characters/news" url in the last few days... For a Battlecast thing about creating your own card...?

I admit Activision is really trying its best to be the main villain in Skylanders 6.

I'm starting to think it will happen next week.
I guess they might create more hype on the social-networks during the weekend, like they did for Trap Team.

AS IF IT WAS NECESSARY...

I feel like Battlecast might be more of a priority right now, since its a new, different direction that might not get everyone, unlike the regular series

As BlueFox posted in the SC thread, we finally have the GDC panel from earlier this year about VV's character design process!

This is more Sky 7 speculation than anything, but I really want Spectre Samurai in 7 :U Yeah, blue goopy ghost for the umpteenth time, but I've grown to really enjoy how it integrates into her armor.

High Volt also started as Light.
tooold you guys

Unless, Sky 6 is like ten million percent different from the past games, whether gameplay, figure, or story/maturity-wise.

I loving that stone water dragon DD:

I love the pretty female character, better than Riptide.

The early ideas for Swap Force sure were interesting.

Also kinda upset we didn't get Dive Clops as a goldfish in a mech suit.

EDIT: A number of slides are entirely black, and im guessing thats where most of the unused characters are.

THEY HAVE PROTOTYPE RIPTIDE/KRAYKEN/TYPHOON AND HE'S AMAZING! I HOPE THEY REUSE THE DESIGN!

That's actually the PDF itself. You may have to reload the page and use the page arrows.

I downloaded it and the black parts are still there. Not an error, they're blocking those pages from view.

Huh. I can see the 3D models of the prototype characters, even the scrapped toy figures.

Can you take screenshots of them, Aura?

I go away for a bit and then all this starts to happen.

Could someone PM me and catch me up?

I'm curious as to why the Golden Queen is part of the roster.

Yes, that would be really appreciated!

I refreshed the pdf but certain slides are still obscured.

There was a Character Named Bubble Trouble, interesting character i don't know the character would be awesome but i don't know how the fans would react to that.

No need for PMs, it's short. We found a 2017 official calendar for Skylanders and she and penguin dude there were on it. The calendar was replaced already,but we have the pictures.
We don't really know if she's part of the roster, but she has brand new art and an elemental background,different from the villains we currently have artworks of.

Here -

You got me excited there for a second, Aura! That character looks pretty sweet, if you ask me. If love them to reuse that at some point.

Now, can anyone identify who this character on the Leeching Mist card is? I have never seen anything like him before. He's not an enemy or Skylander I recognize. New character perhaps?

Also the Voice Actor Suggestions, they wanted Ryan Reynolds.

I can see those pictures, none of those ones are the pure black ones.

They should've used Krayken, looks like a much more likeable character than Rip Tide. Though I'm glad they didn't use the frog, he looked too goofy for my tastes and even for Skylanders in general.

The cards have a lot of random armored guys, Leeching Mist is similar. They could be new skylanders/enemies or not,but from now it just seems like generic character class character where Skylanders didn't look as good.

Pretty sure it's 1, 10, 11, 16 & 17 that are blocked out.

Yep, those are the ones I'm unable to see too.
Maybe they were originally filled up by short videos, during the conference?

Does anyone think they'll bring back the Trinkets from TT? I imagine that if they did have an interchangeable weapon gimmick, customization would be top of the list.

If I were them,would be nice,but low priority. They were okay for a laugh but I wouldn't give up development time for it unless everything else was fine and working and there was plenty of other content.

Maybe as an update later on, after they've patched everything(if need be)?

So are we all still banking on Friday reveal?
Because if so then that would be tomorrow.

Indeed! I would be stoked if it was tomorrow, but I'm not as confident as I once was about it.

I'm not as confident either anymore. Chances are, it will be next week, OR we'll get something teasing that it's on Saturday? Fingers crossed!

Well I'm out for the night. Hope to see something in the morning!

I mean, think about it. Activision most likely revealed the game. We've also had a slight leak. With that said, what's the point of keeping us in suspense much longer? It would most likely be revealed sometime before the weekend, or before next weekend if not the former.

Yep, don't see tomorrow as a likely reveal date anymore.
At this point, my last guess is next week probably on Wednesday.

Oh, well.
Good night everyone, hopefully this thread will be filled with news when I wake up!

If it is tommorow I may just go and slap an Activision exec. There couldn't be a worse to to reveal it, for me at least. CURSE YOU EXAMS!!!!

Hey, these designs are pretty good. They were planned to enter on the game and then scrapped? It would be interesting if they brought back then in some form on a future game.

Yeah, I have a Latin exam tomorrow. But if there's a reveal tomorrow, that'll be a bright way to end my crappy weak.

They were from the point where Swap Force were 3 pieces instead of 2; though I think at the Bubble Trouble phase that was scrapped already.

I am really putting my wages on the reveal being next Wednesday. I could really imagine Activision revealing every future Skylanders game on the first Wednesday in June. It just seems very credible to me. It would help them manage fixed schedules on when to reveal more characters/information, and it would give a sense of certainty to their fans. I may be wrong, but if I were in charge of Skylanders news and reveals, that is what I would do.
