Mobile card game will include physical cards for in-game use.

Activision Publishing has launched a new mobile card game based on its “Skylanders” franchise, titled “Skylanders Battlecast.”

The new mobile game will allow players to collect up to 300 character, spell, gear and relic cards to create unique card combinations and fight their way through more than 60 missions across eight elemental islands.

To enhance gameplay, users will also be able to purchase booster and battle card packs from both local retailers and digitally. The physical cards can then be scanned with a mobile device to bring the card to life in the game.

“We continue to provide a variety of fun new ways for fans to explore ‘Skylanders’ and ‘Skylanders Battlecast’ is an amazing new innovation,” says Josh Taub, senior vice president, product management, Activision Publishing. “Our mobile card game offers players not only a collectible experience but also augmented reality, PvP and an exciting single-player campaign.”

“Skylanders Battlecast” is now available on the App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
