With this beta launch, Activision also claims to have further bolstered the assortment and value of one of the most inventive and platform-inclusive digital playgrounds ever devised.

Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, commented, “We conceived Skylanders as a unique, multi-platform experience from the beginning, simultaneously grand in scope yet incredibly easy for kids to embrace. You can play with friends in the real world or on consoles, Nintendo 3DS, Mac or PC, and now on the web in Skylanders Spyro’s Universe. If there’s a screen where kids play, we want the Skylanders to come to life there. This also further enhances the play options of every Skylander character.”

Throughout Skylanders Spyro’s Universe, kids will be able to build and customize their own Skylands, while also getting to play mini-games like Sheep Shot, Sky Defense and Castle Assault. Moreover, they would have the ability to rendezvous with their friends and explore the Skylands, or just manage their toy collection and earn achievements. Gamers who own a copy of Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure or its action figures can either enter the code supplied with each interaction figure or use the Portal of Power in order use the characters inside the universe. Other players can join the world for free by just creating an online account.
