Overview
Description

Skylanders: Swap Force is the third main entry in the Skylands franchise, blending platforming, RPG elements, and hack‑and‑slash combat. Players collect physical Skylander figures that can be split and recombined, creating new abilities and strategies. The story follows the SWAP Force heroes who were banished to Earth after a volcanic eruption, and now must help Flynn and Tessa stop Kaos' Greeble army. Featuring voice talent like John DiMaggio and Troy Baker, the game supports single‑player, co‑op, and split‑screen multiplayer on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

Join the Portal Masters as Kaos shatters the Cloudcracker Prison, scattering Traptanium shards and releasing the most notorious villains across Skylands. Use powerful Traptanium Traps to capture these foes and turn them into allies for your quest. Explore vibrant worlds, solve puzzles, and engage in fast‑paced combat across multiple platforms, all while collecting physical Skylander figures that bring the action to life.
