When do skylanders giants come out

In addition to using characters from the previous Skylanders game, Skylanders Giants introduces giant characters that also work with your portal of power. You can read impressions of the game from E3 here. The Wii U version of Skylanders Giants has not yet been given a release date. A release date for the Wii U version of the game will most likely be available after the Wii U's launch details are revealed. Then there are special attack upgrades that can be purchased with money collected.

In the first game players have to pick one upgrade path for these attacks but in Skylanders Giants they will be able to switch between them. Each Skylander figure you have works as a life in the game. When one Skylander runs out of health they become too tired to carry on and the player is asked to place a new figure on the portal.

When all the Skylanders have been exhausted they will need to start the level again, whereupon each figure is returned to full health. Because of this later levels of the game can be quite hard to complete with only a small set of figures. In addition to upgrades players can pick up "hats" that offer a specific boost to stats when they are worn.

There are also bonuses for owning all the Skylanders for a particular element or grouping all the dragon Skylanders for instance. There are also a variety of battle modes where players can fight against each other in closed arenas. Challenge modes are also provided for each character you own, completing these offer a further stats upgrade.

Skylanders Giants promises to offer new arena battles as well as new challenges for new and old Skylander characters. Figures for the first game were released in waves, so that not all figures were available from the off. At times this caused the demand for particular figures to outstrip supply, but this was soon rectified for subsequent releases. It is likely that a similar approach will be followed for Skylanders Giants.
