Last Friday Activision Publishing revealed a brand new entry to the Spyro the Dragon series of action adventure titles, coming later this year to most game platforms as well as mobile devices and ‘the web.’
While not much is known about the actual in-game actions and activities we’ll be experiencing in this new title, Activision did reveal an incredibly cool aspect to this new Spyro game that the company is calling “an entertainment breakthrough for the toy and [videogame] industries.”
Welp, I guess we were a little early on this one.
Activision Publishing has today officially taken the wraps off of a new entry into the Spyro series of action games in the form of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, with details and screenshots to further flesh out its existence.
[Update] Activision has since released a few new details and a huge batch of screenshots for Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, which you can see over here. [End of Update]
A report on USA Today has uncovered news of a new game currently in development based on the cult-classic character action-based franchise, Spyro the Dragon, with a line of toys and action figures also in the works with a dual-purpose use in mind – augmented reality!
When Xbox frontman Major Nelson posted a list of upcoming Xbox LIVE content the other day, in amongst the talk of brand new Xbox LIVE games, Games on Demand titles heading to the service and an upcoming free Xbox LIVE Gold weekend, he also mentioned something about special price offers on digital content for a range of Activision games.
No further information was forthcoming… until now!
From now until January 17th, Xbox LIVE members will be able to take advantage of all kinds of great deals on massive amounts of Activision-related content: Everything must go!
Here’s the list:
EA has announced that the company’s internal label, EA Partners, has signed a publishing agreement with independent developer Insomniac Games that will see the studio’s new, unannounced and upcoming franchise launch on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
This new title will mark the first time an Insomniac game sees a multiplatform release in the developer’s 16 years of operation, which has been predominantly PlayStation-focussed for much of its history.
