"It's really gratifying that in less than a year, we've seen
Skylanders go from being an intriguing untested new IP to becoming one
of the hottest kids franchises in the world. And it has been
universally acclaimed by parents, kids and critics alike," said Eric Hirshberg,
CEO of Activision Publishing. "Skylanders is more than just a new piece
of interactive entertainment, but a genuinely new kind of thinking
in interactive entertainment. The response of the fans has been
incredible, and the only way we can return the favor is with a sequel
like Skylanders Giants. This game is all about big: big creatures, big worlds, bigger ideas. We're very excited to see Skylanders Giants finally hit the shelves."
