Though the game is but a few months old and the toys are incredibly difficult to find, Activision felt that yesterday was the perfect day to reveal the sequel to Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Titled Skylanders Giants, this full-blown sequel will feature new levels, compatibility with all of your current figures and of course, all-new figures for you to buy. In particular, the inclusion of 8 “giant” figures that are twice the size of regular Skylanders in the game and in real life strikes me as an interesting addition.
If you want to learn more about Skylanders Giants, Wired has a great article covering the press release type stuff.
While a Skylanders sequel was as much of a sure thing as the sky being blue (see what I did there?), I think it’s a bit early to be talking about it. At this point in time, Activision still hasn’t released all of the characters or the levels. Even if everything was in stores right now, they’re in such short supply that the original game could probably sustain its buzz until Activision is able to meet the demand on the toys. I am by no means a video game sales analyst, but announcing a Skylanders sequel could kill the buzz around the existing game.
