help Skylanders: Swap Force FAQ
Who developed and published Skylanders: Swap Force?
Skylanders: Swap Force was developed by Vicarious Visions and Beenox, and published by Activision in 2013. This was a notable shift from the previous two games, which were primarily handled by Toys for Bob.
How does the swapping mechanic work in Skylanders: Swap Force?
The game features 16 new core Swap Force figures that are physically split in half, allowing players to mix and match the top and bottom halves to create new characters. For example, you can combine a fire character's top half with a water character's bottom half to access new abilities.
Do older figures from Spyro's Adventure and Giants work with the Swap Force portal?
Yes, the game is fully backward compatible, meaning characters from Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders: Giants can be used. However, only the new Swap Force figures possess the top-and-bottom interchangeable mechanic.
Can characters jump in Skylanders: Swap Force?
Yes, Swap Force was the first game in the franchise to actually allow characters to jump in 3D space. The first two games restricted movement entirely to a flat plane, so this feature added a completely new dynamic to the platforming.
