Skylanders: Swap Force is the third installment in the Skylanders series, the sequel to Skylanders: Giants. In this game, a new group of Skylanders are introduced: the SWAP Force.
Gameplay[ | ]
Due to the game being developed by Vicarious Visions, Swap Force now possesses a jump ability for all Skylanders, a mechanic that was unavailable in the previous console titles. If the Skylanders fall off a path, they don't get hurt, and are simply reset back on the path, making the game very forgiving with the young target audience.
Vast Possibilities for Play[ | ]
Skylanders: Swap Force features 16 new inter-action figures with new powers and a fresh play pattern – dynamic swapability – that lets kids create more than 250 unique character combinations, giving them more choice than ever before over how they fight and move in the game. With each new addition to their Skylanders: Swap Force collection, Portal Masters unlock an exciting world of possibilities.
More Play Options[ | ]
For the first time, Portal Masters can experience new dimensions of gameplay including the addition of jumping. And, seasoned fans can play Skylanders: Swap Force with their entire collection of characters from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders Giants. Skylanders: Swap Force delivers a diverse and dynamic, story-driven gameplay experience, filled with adventure, combat, puzzles, mini games, and drop-in/drop-out co-op - all set within compelling environments.
All New Characters[ | ]
More than 50 collectible characters including: 16 new SWAP Force characters, 16 new Skylanders characters, 8 LightCore Skylanders characters, 16 new versions of fan-favorite Skylanders from the previous games, each featuring an all new “Wow Pow” upgrade power.
Exciting Adventure[ | ]

Unique Swap Force Zones[ | ]
Skylanders SWAP Force characters feature traversal abilities – such as flying, climbing, digging, bouncing, or teleporting – each of which can be explored in new areas of Skylands that are centered on these new play mechanics.
