14 DAY TRIAL // Video game publisher Activision announces that Skylanders remains the best-selling toy-based video game in the world despite the recent competition coming from Disney Infinity.
Eric Hirshberg, the chief executive officer of Activision Publishing, is quoted by VG247 as saying that, “We’ve accomplished this unmatched level of success by consistently delivering magic to our passionate, young fans. And the best is yet to come. With next month’s release of Skylanders Swap Force , we will take this category that we’ve pioneered to a new level of innovation and creativity.”
Skylanders asks fans to pick up a Portal of Power and then slot in a number of toys depending on the abilities they want to use and the creatures they prefer to control.
The new Swap Force expansion will allow gamers to actually customize the figurines they buy and the team says that the amount of potential combinations is huge.
It will be launched in the middle of October.
