Skylanders: Weaponizers is the eighth Skylanders game, debuted on October 11th, 2020 on PS4, XBOX ONE, and Nintendo Switch.
It released on November 10 as a launch title for XBOX SERIES X/S and on November 12 as a launch title for PS5.
Story
Long ago; a powerful evil, more powerful than Kaos or even his own mother, was the biggest threat to Skylands. That evil figure has been given the nickname of the Light Eater, but was really known as Strykore.
After the events of the previous game, there was another state of peace within Skylands. Unfortunately for Skylands, the ancient evil known as Strykore has been released and has a plan to cause the most ultimate doom of Skylands. Thankfully; the Skylanders enlist the help of some new heroes known as the Weaponizers. A group of warriors with the power to use magical interchangeable weapons.
Gameplay and Changes
The special Skylanders introduced in Skylanders: Weaponizers are the Weaponizer Skylanders. These are Skylanders that can have access to special Elemental Weapons. These Weapons will be more powerful if used by Weaponizers of the same element.
In addition, this game features special events specifically for Villain characters (including those that debuted in Imaginators and Mech Masters).
Each element contains
- 2 New Weaponizer Skylanders
- 3 interchangeable Weapons
- 1 Reformed Villain (except for Light and Dark)
- Reposed Skylanders (the original eight elements get three reposes, Light and Dark get one repose)
In addition; various multiplayer modes from previous Skylanders games return, such as PVP Battle mode (both regular and Mech) and racing.
Much like SuperChargers, there will be Nintendo exclusive guest stars who double as Amiibo. This time, they are from Pokémon.
