The official confirmation of Online Play has got me further interested in seeing how SuperChargers will stand out between the previous Skylanders titles. Will it gain a higher game rating upon release, or will it outshine the other titles instead? Fans appear to be immediately drawn in, as the highly-requested online play was finally added into this installment.
As stated, not only are you able to do online co-op in Racing Mode, you can also play online co-op with your friends in Adventure Mode as well. Online competitve racing has up to four players with many different race tracks for you to experience. There will be power-ups and hidden routes for you to take advantage of during the race.
"Skylanders' all-new Racing Mode, playable in Land, Sea and Sky environments, features supercharged racing combat, layering in even more depth and excitement to the game's online multiplayer component. The high-octane mode is further amplified with all-new time trials, which include three-lap races that take friendly competition up a notch as players battle for the best time score on the leaderboard. All Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Packs will come loaded with six dynamic race tracks - two each for Land, Sea and Sky. With hidden routes, power-ups, and diverse locations, Racing Mode offers completely new ways to enjoy the game. Whether played in offline split-screen or online multiplayer, gamers can choose the best route to finish a race, trying to avoid attacks along the way as they navigate through dynamic environments. Voice-chat is available with friends for an added layer of excitement.
Skylanders fans told us they wanted to go head-to-head in online multiplayer with their friends and family, and we delivered. Skylanders SuperChargers enables gamers to race against friends all over the world and brings an exciting new expansion to the Skylanders gameplay experience," said John Coyne, senior vice president of consumer marketing, Activision Publishing, Inc. "We continue to be firmly committed to driving Skylanders' spirit for providing originality, innovation, creativity and fun with each game."
Previously, fans were disappointed when there were no signs of villains being playable in SuperChargers after purchasing traps specifically to capture these characters back in Skylanders: Trap Team. But rejoice! Most of the villains will be making a return in SuperChargers and now also have their own vehicles to pilot.
Skylanders SuperChargers continues to rev its engine with the addition of Skylanders SuperChargers Racing Action Packs at launch and beyond. These optional expansion packs, one each for Land, Sea and Sky, unlock even more thrilling racing content for Portal Masters. Each pack comes loaded with three special toys, including a SuperCharger, its signature vehicle and a villain trophy. The villain trophy unlocks two new tracks and new modes, including SuperVillain Cup, Boss Pursuit and Mirror Cup. There are 12 boss villains across all three packs, with four in each pack, which players can defeat and play as. Fans can then store these boss villains on their villain trophy toy to play at a friend's house.
The following Villains confirmed so far -
- Chef Pepper Jack
- Golden Queen
- Count Moneybone
- Wolfgang
- Kaos
- Chill Bill
- Captain Frightbeard
- Threatpack
- Pain-Yatta
- Hood-Sickle
- Chompy Mage
- Dr Krankcase
- Bad Juju
Fans continue to speculate on which villain will appear. From Dreamcatcher, the Gulper, and other minor villains they like. The possibilities are endless. No doubt SuperChargers will be put to the test when it comes up against its fellow toys-to-life game rivals in the Fall.
