Skylanders set for comeback according to leak

According to a leaker on Twitter, Skylanders may be set for a comeback. Please take this with a massive grain of salt, obviously. As far as the reputation goes with this leaker? A now deleted tweet suggested Pyra and Mythra were coming to Smash, which, obviously eventually came true. Although it could be completely unrelated, they are followed by a few high profile names in the industry (particularly gaming journalism) which does add to their credibility.

Here is what they said.

Quote: Dov Grey
1. Frustrating meeting overall.
2. Source claims there will be short 'In Development' announcement that was supposed to run at E3 2021 this summer but not sure if it has been pushed to be a drop later in the fall.
3. New Title is focused on Mobile and Nintendo Switch for launch.
4. Will be some involvement of new Limited Time NFT / expiring usage cards/coins/figures - not sure yet on whether it's card/coin based or new delivery system.
5. Will be dev on Non-Skylanders titles involving Skylanders characters - pushing for more info on this, sounds like expanding Spyro universe to include other characters.
6. Rumor of DIFFERENT type of Skylanders game also in dev that is multiplayer.
7. Sounds like multiplayer experience could be Battle Royale Esque, could use the new Coin/Cards NFT items to give skins or new appearances in addition to unlocking characters in new SKYLANDERS Reboot.
8. SKYLANDERS Theatrical film talks have stopped.
9. Mainstream Skylanders Game reboot sounds like Holidays 2022 to Early 2023.
10. Some talk of SKYLANDERS 'escaping' into unrelated universe for a title, similar to how Rabbids went to a Mario title.


I feel the big takeaways for this are the following:

• New spin-off game set for release on mobile and Nintendo Switch
• There is planned development on further spin-offs featuring Skylanders characters
• Currently unknown if the figures will return or if there will be another delivery method
• A multiplayer experience seems to be in the works
• A full-on Skylanders reboot could be in late 2022/ early 2023
• To promote the Skylanders characters, they could crossover with other IPs (similar to the Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle game)

This same account got harassed regularly by some strange person asking for rumors for the last few months, I think it's fake.

Rather than a prank, this could very well be an attempt to get them to stop and make their videos or whatever they wanted out of this leaker. Honestly I don't blame them, considering what I heard that toxic fan is like.


Yeah, unfortunately I did see that. I hate seeing that as it puts the rest of the fandom in a bad light, especially because it's such a small one comparitively. I don't know the Dov Grey at all, but judging by their tweets I don't think they'd do that? As you say though, I wouldn't blame them.

we know that in todays marked a massive production of plastic will not fly like it did in 2011, thoes days are over. many retail shops have been shutdown and dont existing in many countries anymore. but if it has a comeback, it will be most likely be a few characters that get their own games and no toys.

And will work like the Lego games or something like that

I can say that this news is.... a steaming pile of BS.
TFB is apparently over half way done with Spyro 4, nothing with Skylanders going on.

Yeah it’s not uncommon for studios to work on multiple projects at the same time. Just taken a look at Monolithsoft who both developed Xenoblade 2 and co-developed Breath of the Wild simultaneously. So I wouldn’t be shocked?

There 0% chance that toys to life will come back
That thing was an mess
All skylanders will get is an spinoff

toys to life is fun, but at this point, i agree that it's not likely to come back

i feel like a spinoff could open new opportunities for game play. we've got a gatcha game, now. not really my thing, but it's something.

We’re starting to see a lot of bold claims from that same account. So we’ll see whether or not these come to fruition. If they do, it may add a bit of credibility to these rumours. Then again, some of these claims are a given - a sonic remake? That’s already been leaked prior. Zelda re-releases? Again, expected given Mario’s 35th anniversary. So we’ll see...

I'd be down for a Warriors style Skylanders. There were already a Dungeon Crawler Brawler, it fits!

If the Sonic remake is true, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a remake of the whole Adventure saga as a single game. I'd rather prefer a new "Sonic Heroes", tbh.

More Mario games... when will we have a new Wario Land/World game, for God's sake?

a broken clock is right twice a day. i want to hope that the leaks are right, but i'm skeptical because, like ttd said, some of these "leaks" are obvious things that anyone could guess

Apparently the Sonic remake might be a HD port of Sonic Colours for PS4, XBox One and Nintendo Switch according to the info of several european retailers.

Regarding a Warrior style Skylanders... I don't dig it, at all. Although I definitely prefer the "dungeon crawler + fantasy" approach of the first two instalments. Bearing in mind the remake of Diablo that's coming and the new subtle fever towards dungeon cralwers, a Skylander game designed closer to Diablo and less to Crash Bandicoot would be awesome if you ask me, and it would suit the original idea behind the franchise (i.e. Spyro's Kingdom).

But then again, we're just dreaming.

We all can agree, as stated, that the Toys to Life formula won't come back in any case... woefully, if you ask me.

I think we are just going get an mobile game or an switch game that no toys for life
And if it an mobile game it be simpler to the 3ds games and if it an switch game it will be an more of an 3D platformer
With collectibles, there will be some dungeons but it won’t be the force of the game

well apparently tfb's staff are getting put on another project, so if there's ever more games or remakes, they'd definitely be by different people

Actually they're currently supporting the development of Call of Duty: Warzone. So I guess our only chance to have someone working on "Spyro 4" and/or Skylanders 7/reboot is Beenox.

Beenox was the worst of the developers working on anything skylanders, everything these guys touched was a schweitzer cheese of bugs. so if they do spyro4 just expect the worst..
