The Skylanders That Never Were
Blogger and Activision community manager Dan Amrich penned a fascinating article that dives deep into Skylanders' development past. "Skylanders started life as a project called Spyro’s Kingdom," Amrich writes. "Spyro was going to be a full-grown dragon and the king of Spyro’s Kingdom. You’d go to him for quests, and he’d tell you where to go and help you on your adventures."
Amrich's story also shows a handful of different figurines that never made the cut. For those of you who love spending your days in Skylands, this story is a must-read. You can check it out for yourself on Amrich's oft-updated One of Swords blog. You can also follow him on Twitter.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
