New Skylanders titles have been produced annually since 2011. This year, Activision is finally breaking that tradition. The company confirmed that there will not be a new game on consoles in 2017.
Activision isn’t abandoning its plans for Skylanders overall. New content is planned for Skylanders Imaginators (including a Switch version), and a mobile game is in the works. We also know that the Netflix animated show has been renewed for a third season, and we’ll be seeing that in 2018.
Game Informer has shared a series of brand new Zelda: Breath of the Wild screenshots from its cover story this month. Since one of the images shows one of the game’s bosses, we’ve posted the gallery after the break.

Ubisoft is supporting Switch with Just Dance 2017 at the console’s launch. Steep and Rayman Legends Definitive Edition will also be published at some point this year.
During its latest financial call today, Ubisoft once again commented on Switch. The company said it intends to support Switch strongly, and pointed to Pokemon GO as well as Pokemon Sun/Moon as to why it believes in the Nintendo brand.
Also mentioned is that “Nintendo has a good chance to come back strong in the living room”. A few Switch titles are coming by March 2018, though it’s unclear if Ubisoft has anything else in the pipeline beyond what’s been announced.
