Activision shares first screenshots, details for Skylanders Swap Force 3DS

Skylanders Swap Force 3DS, developed by n-Space, has been detailed by Activision. The game has its own story, levels, and special starter pack characters. Rattle Shake, Volcanic Eruptor, and Free Ranger cannot be found in any other Skylanders Starter Pack.

Here’s the official story overview, courtesy of Activision:

The story of Skylanders SWAP Force on Nintendo 3DS begins in Boomtown, home of Skylands’ favorite pilot, Flynn. As the town is celebrating Flynn as their hometown hero, a new villain known as Count Moneybone sneaks his way into Boomtown to kidnap Cali, long-time friend to Flynn and the Skylanders. Now it’s up to Portal Masters everywhere to assemble the Skylanders and SWAP Force to save Cali and defeat the evil Count Moneybone.

Skylanders Swap Force on 3DS will be compatible with all of the toys from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders Giants. All character abilities, levels and customization will carry over to Swap Force. Additionally, the level cap for all characters has been raised from 15 to 20.
