New gaming system will allow fans to access a digital library of "Skylanders" toys.

In conjunction with the Switch launch, Activision will debut new characters and a new expansion pack for the "Skylanders Imaginators" game.

"Skylanders Imaginators" for Nintendo Switch will include the introduction of a vast digital library that allows players to easily load and store 300-plus toys from the Skylanders franchise directly to the gaming system. The arrival of the digital library will also allow players to take their "Skylanders Imaginators" game on-the-go with them.

"'Skylanders Imaginators' has ignited the imaginations of fans everywhere, and we're looking forward to continuing to support their gameplay experiences with Nintendo Switch, along with new toys and content coming this year," says Josh Taub, senior vice president, "Skylanders" product management, Activision. "There are now more than 300 million Skylanders

toys in the hands of fans, which equates to nearly two toys sold every second since "Skylanders Spyro's Adventure" launched. And with the new season of the animated series "Skylanders Academy" slated for Netflix this fall, we are thrilled that fans can enjoy playing, watching and creating Skylanders no matter where they are."
