The Activision video game franchise that jump-started the toys-brought-to-life genre four years ago is adding air, land and sea vehicles to its latest edition.
Skylanders SuperChargers will feature 20 toys that can be mimicked on screen in a similar way to how the series’ action-figure characters were brought to digital life in the past four instalments.
The action on screen will alternate between Skylanders characters battling on foot, and in their new rides.
Skylanders launched the toys-to-life craze in 2011, before Disney’s Infinity and Nintendo’s amiibo followed suit. Warner Bros unveiled plans this year to release Lego Dimensions, a similar game-toy line that will feature Lego vehicles and characters. SuperChargers is scheduled to launch on September 25
