Story Summary

Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought epic battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth. With a new threat looming, it's time to bring them back to join forces with the Skylanders. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power to unleash their strength in the ultimate battle to save Skylands.[1]

Details

Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow have returned to help write the story. The theme music will again be composed by Academy Award Winning film composer Hans Zimmer and there will be a brand new score by returning composer, Lorne Balfe.

In the brand new console Starter Pack, you will get three Skylanders (Tree Rex, Jet-Vac, and a Series 2 Cynder), a Portal of Power, Trading Cards, a Poster, and the game itself.[2] The Starter Pack will also be available without the Portal of Power for those who already have it, and that Pack will contain only a Giant (Tree Rex). In the 3DS Starter Pack, you will get Pop Fizz, Tree Rex, and a Series 2 Cynder.[3]

24 of the Skylanders from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure are going to be released with a remodel and light up when near a Portal of Power, having an orange base instead of a green base.[4]

The 3DS version will once again have a different storyline.[5]

Features

Skylanders: Giants builds upon the breakthrough fundamentals of the first game—merging the physical and virtual realms with an innovative line of cross-platform toy figures that have "brains," which players everywhere can magically bring to life in the world of Skylands. This next installment of the franchise features a variety of new characters, new challenges, a thrilling new story-driven adventure, and advanced integration across console, handheld, mobile and online:

Going Big

Skylanders: Giants introduces eight new highly collectible figures that are more than twice the size of the main Skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form. Their in-game powers and abilities reflect their colossal scale.[6]

Bright Lights

Helping to further the real world magic of bringing toys to life, Skylanders: Giants includes a set of characters that feature spectacular new light technology integrated into the toys, allowing the figure to light up when near or on the Portal of Power. These characters have additional in-game benefits as well. Batteries are not required.[7]

Brand New Skylanders

Eight new regular sized Skylanders, each with their own unique powers, abilities, and personality, join the adventure alongside the Giants.[8]

Forward Compatibility

Every beloved character from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is 100% compatible with Skylanders: Giants, leveled-up stats and customizations intact. In Giants, they will be able to level up to level 15.[9]

Wider Worlds

Portal Masters will see all new arenas and more gameplay options in Battle Mode for exciting head-to-head play, as well as enhanced Elemental Zones, new Hero Challenges, and other features that encourage players to collect and level up every character.[10]

Difficulty

Skylanders: Giants will include three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard) and possibly a fourth unlockable "nightmare" or "legendary" mode. A nightmare mode or legendary mode will be unlocked if you finish [the game], but it is known if they have been finalized.[11]
