SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Oct. 17, in the year of our Lord 2016 – Ready, Set, Create! Skylanders® Imaginators is now available at major retailers worldwide from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc.(NASDAQ: ATVI). For the first time, Portal Masterscan create their own Skylanders, designing the wildest characters imaginable including customizing appearance, powers, abilities, names, catchphrases, musical themes and much more. Fans will also enjoy Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex as guest star Skylanders, as well as a new mobile app Skylanders™ Creator and the upcoming Netflix original series, Skylanders™ Academy.

“From the day we created Skylanders, we have received thousands of letters from kids all over the world sharing ideas for their ideal Skylander. The creativity and imagination that this game inspires in kids is overwhelming,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision. “And Skylanders Imaginators was designed to harness all of that creativity. It's the game we've always wanted to make, and the game kids have always wanted to play.”

Developed by Toys For Bob, Skylanders Imaginators empowers players to unleash their imaginations and bring their creations to life in an all-new adventure with puzzles, battles, a compelling storyline and new lineup of heroes and villains. As part of the Creation Celebration, fans who purchase a Skylanders Imaginators Starter Pack at participating retailers nationwide will receive a fully-playable Kaos toy for free. Offer valid until October 22 or while supplies last.

“This year, we’re letting fans create the magic of Skylanders by giving them the power to express their imaginations in ways never before possible,” said Josh Taub, senior vice president, Skylanders at Activision Publishing. “Skylanders encompasses an award-winning videogame franchise, top toy property and now a new television series, Skylanders Academy from Netflix and Activision Blizzard Studios. We’re proud that we’ve created a beloved franchise that has touched fans’ lives worldwide in so many ways.”

For the first time in toys-to-life history, fans can immortalize their Skylanders Imaginator creations in physical forms using Skylanders Creator. Some fans can choose to have their creations transformed into 3D printed Imaginator figures (limited quantities, while supplies last).Additionally, they can create Imaginator Cards emblazoned with full color images of their created Skylanders that are fully-playable in the Skylanders Imaginators console game. Fans also can create customized Skylanders Imaginator T-shirts featuring images of their very own creations. Availability of these items varies by territory, and not all features are available at game launch.

Portal Masters are encouraged to get into the creation spirit by participating in the
Skylanders Imaginators#CreatorContest. Starting October 24, fans who share their Skylanders Imaginators creations on social media using the dedicated hashtag have a chance to win a 3D printed Skylander Imaginator.

The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as “Mind Magic” to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secret, Kaos has unleashed the power of “Mind Magic” into Skylands once again – and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it’s up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination and stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time – the Senseis!

Skylanders Imaginators also introduces two new guest star characters -- Crash Bandicoot and his arch-nemesis Dr. Neo Cortex. They join the lineup of Skylanders Sensei characters as fully-playable toys. The game also gives Crash fans a dedicated level, Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands, that pays homage to be beloved ‘90s videogame icon.

The Skylanders Imaginators Starter Pack will be available for the suggested retail price of $74.99 on Xbox 360™ and Xbox One™ video game and entertainment systems from Microsoft, PlayStation® 3 and PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment systems and Nintendo’s Wii U™ system. Skylanders Imaginators supports all 300+ Skylanders from previous games.
