New Skylanders Giants Character Revealed

It’s been a while since we last brought you any news on Skylanders Giants, the new game that will expand on the universe introduced in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Now, Activision have announced a new Giant, adding to the growing roster of characters. Introducing Swarm!



Swarm Art


Name: Swarm
Element Family: Air
Character Type: Giant
Catch Phrase: Bring the Sting!
Bio: Swarm was once a prince from a proud race of mysterious insect warriors that had built their entire civilization inside a giant honeycombed pyramid. Growing up as one of the 9,000 members of the royal family, he was never permitted to leave the hive. But unlike his brethren, there was a magical quality to Swarm that caused him to grow much larger than the rest of his kind. No longer able to fit amongst the rest of his colony, the young prince broke the long standing tradition and stepped out into the open world -- where his size and strength would be put to good use in the legendary battle between the Giants and the Arkeyans.
A few screenshots were also released showing Swarm in action.

Skylanders Giants is due to be released on October 19th in Europe and October 21st in North America.

As much as I don't want to have to drop another 400 to catch 'em all, my kids and I are really excited for this game. Maybe I can get away with just buying the 8 giants and the 8 new Skylanders. Oh and the 8 light core. Just avoid the 24 reposes.... maybe.

I'm looking forward to this. Hopefull there aren't any Giant-specific gates that require a giant of that type to open.

I only have a handful of figures from the original, but I can live with that, at least one from each type should do fine.

I would pay big bucks for a spyro 1-3 re-release, just throw some achievements in there and I will be fine, don't even have to upgrade the graphics.
