Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure released

01 Jul 2011

Activision has announced the forthcoming release of the video game Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure.

Through an innovative use of technology, the game allows players to transport real-world toys into virtual worlds of adventure through the ‘Portal of Power’. These ‘toys with brains’ can come to life inside the game in connection with multiple gaming platforms, as well as on handheld gaming devices, mobile devices and on the web, remembering achievements and level-ups wherever they go.

According to Activision this marks a change in the interaction between toys and video games.

The game and technology was developed by Activision’s Novato, California studio.

Each character in the game is said to have its own unique powers. Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure lets kids take on the role of a powerful portal master, who can control over 30 different characters, including the beloved purple dragon Spyro.

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is yet to be rated by the Classification Board.
