If it is, it's using concept art from SF. More likely from Battlecast or something. It also could be using it as a filler image too.

I'm thinking that it may have been a concept or prototype build for Swap Force.

Nothing from Battlecast, the aesthetics are way different and it's not using mobile-friendly stuff. Seems more like an early version of SF's PVP which included the last non-boss level.
Anyone with that game could see its battle arena icons to see if they are artwork from levels like this? The one next to it is too faded to tell.

The level name and image from Swap Force is a dead-giveaway.
Of course, young instagramers, like Mike-na-Charge, who haven't seen concept images from previous games will assume it's a new game leak.

Well, it is the time of the year where the new game usually gets announced. I think the latest reveal date possible is mid-May.

SuperChargers was revealed late May, if I recall. With the reveals getting later each year, I imagine an early to mid-June reveal.

Definitely a Swap Force development image. TfB would NEVER use one of V.V's levels for anything. Last I remember they're quite a bit salty towards the new kids on the block

I was watching the interviews for Trap Team for some sources on the Wiki,and boy, is that true. Alex Ness straight up says "when we put things in the game,we always ask ourselves 'is this really Skylands?'. We always try to add its whimsical, magical twist,and make it truly Skylanders and not some other thing". He couldn't be more subtle at the jab at VV since they tried to make it a Dreamworks wannabe.

Yep, Spitfire was leaked in mid May and the game's reveal happened on June 3rd (and was teased around the end of May).
Regarding the leak I agree with all of you: this screen screams "SWAP Force". Doubt TfB would use this exact style even if they were to change their own and they would definitely not use V.V.'s artworks.

The only person that doesn't like a know-it-all and says it is someone who doesn't like getting called out,so. Someone who actually acts like a stuck up and know-it-all,is, well, a stuck-up person, there's an issue before that.
Next time they get a Wicked Thumback situation and lose their wanted variant they won't be whining. Also, if I might drag on the issue a little longer, gotta love the youtubers are the ones acting like babies when they get called out. Truly, these people deserve being given expensive figure packages from Activision while some obscure great ones keep on shelling out a ton to keep their quality and maturity in check. Jealous? Yeah, I totally would love to act like a total jerk to random people despite this being my job, having zero professionalism.

Yeah, guess some people would scream "leak" even just for a colored pixel.
Regarding TfB's style I think they have all the rights to stick to their own vision of the Skylands. After all they invented the series and were the first to bring it to us. Whoever came later should learn to adapt instead of constantly try to change everything according to their own fantasies...

It's a shame to see a lot of people passing the image off as confirmation but that's to be expected.
It could very well be a placeholder image for skylanders 6 but I don't think that battle mode is a priority when showing off the game to investors (or whoever snapped the photo). So I think that the most logical explanation would be that it's an early build of swap force's battle mode. However, I'm not going to completely write it off as false, I like to look at both sides. |

That's what I thought at first but everything from the fonts to the artworks to the hud is extremely similar to SWAP Force's.
But honestly if this is truly something we have yet to see I'd say it would fit better SuperChargers than Skylanders 6, as it is right now.

This year we haven't get the slighlest clue as to what Sky 6 will be about. Last year, we got those screenshots which, at least, had the same corner icon as superchargers.
There was also this biker (or rally driver, can't remember really) which said he had filmed an advert for the next skylanders game, which proved to be true at the end. I think this happened in may. Nothing at all, for the moment, they are becoming quite good at keeping information.

You know... It's strange but the more I think about this "leak" the more """"""""legit"""""""" it seems.
For example the artwork kinda looks like SWAP Force's but at the same time it remembers me of Jeff's style which has been confirmed to be working on the next game. And the fact the dominant color is purple makes me remember that's one of the colors we speculated for the title, bases or both. It has never happened to me (actually the opposite is more likely) but... Don't know. EDIT: just checked, the artwork is from SWAP Force. Maybe it's just that I want the sixth game to be revealed sooo badly.

Wait a second, isn't Skylanders Academy's logo purple?
This is Kaos' Fortress(SF) artwork, no two ways about it, but the box UI is from TFB and it's possible that purple is the next color because of Eric Rogers' teasing. There's proof towards both sides, though make no mistake, whetever this is it's REALLY early stuff and no way resembling a final arena select.

From 'probably not' to a big maybe, and swole birds is very much Jeff Murchie's thing(Tae Kwon Crow and Cross Crow have a nearly identical build).
Now it's hype time. If we get japed and this is a complex fake,whatevs, but now we have something tangible to speculate. On that, the flag below it would mean racing, or time attack. Either way awesome.

The skystone panel looks odd. Why a checkered background? I know Skystones is similar to chess (barely) but it makes no sense to have a checkered background when it fits racing more.

Still no source though, which is incredibly suspicious. But to be honest the games' UI and placeholders probably look just as ugly on Alpha.

I'm not saying I totally believe this, but I'm also not saying I believe it's completely fake either. I know about the concept art. That's one of the things I'm interested in. I've been trying to get my hands on a Strata book for ages. And I'm not new to all this. I only made my account around Swap Force era, but I've been looking on darkspyro and been looking into these things since SSA. I've seen the leaks before and I know what to expect. Anyway, I think this may be real considering the fact that it says "online" which is something brand new as of the last game. And we didn't have that during swap force or trap team. And also that bird in the corner looks very TFB-style. It looks pretty official, but again it's just my thoughts. I don't want to push my opinion on to anybody, as this could very well be fake.

Remember the leak that started this topic was too good to be true, tho. This one is realistic, but just because it has what we want doesn't make it real. What points it as possible is the new color scheme, not obviously-a-free-game-engine UI, the swole bird that I don't recognize from anywhere, etc.

This is still a little unusual, I'm not sure what to believe at this point. This definitely seems more legit than the past 'leaks' we have gotten. Seems unusal that they have so much placeholder images, though. But I guess that can be understood, as the screen looks like it's in a really early stage.

Hey guys, check out this totally legit leak I found! Zelda Skymiibo confirmed!
Okay, but in all seriousness now, I think that leak could potentially be real. I mean, the Stealth Elf render is kind of suspicious, and the fact that the Skystones button is just a checkered flag is also a red flag. But as for that buff bird dude, never seen that character before, and it does look like official Skylanders art. Meaning if it is fake, the creator at least put a lot of effort into it. And I know I'm kinda late to the party, whattya want from me, eh? |

Woah, I come back and we have a leak and a sticky!
Not quite sure what to think about it ATM, but the purple definitely points towards legit. (Or it's a really good coincidence!) Purple for the next game makes sense, that way the colour will tie into Academy, just like Giants and (Battlegrounds?) |

I think, if this is legit, then that bird might be an NPC, like a replacement for Brock or something. But I'd be all for him being a Skylander too.
And also, if this IS legit and there is an online battle mode, then that means we could potentially have that tier list we had for Trap Team again. |

If this is real, it'll make at least the 4th leak of the next Skylanders game (was giants' name leaked?). The Skylanders bucket has a lot of holes to leak through.

The bird lacks a color palette for any element(blue, gray, reddish orange), NPC for sure unless they're finally having something like Spitfire whwn it comes to colors.

No saying it's real for sure or anything, but on the checkered bg thing:
most programs and game development software defaults to that if a texture is missing, or you can place it there manually...just because it's checkered doesn't mean it fakes...kind just seems normal place holder to me.
