Another slow week of Skylanders news, but that should change this week.
Skylanders at Gamescom
We already had a strong suspicion that we would see more of Skylanders at Gamescom based on past years, but with a simple tweet this morning, it seems to be confirmed.
Tune up and tune in! We’ve got some awesome news to share this week… pic.twitter.com/0qvzC7Ukz5

We will be getting more Skylanders news this week.
What is Gamescom?
For those who don't know, Gamescom is another huge video game trade show/convention similar to E3.
Here in the US, E3 is such a big deal because it's on our home turf. Gamescom is actually larger than E3, but since it takes place in Germany, many Americans just aren't able to attend.
Games com runs August 6-9 with a private viewing day on August 5th.
In any case, we should be seeing some more news this week. Reading into the latest tweet, it should be pertaining to the racing aspect of the game. So we'll just have to wait and see what that brings.
Stay tuned!
I wish I could attend!
Are you hearing anything about where they are doing the exhibiting? Activision has booths at halls 4 and 7 according to the exhibitor search, but it sounds like all the World of Warcraft expansion stuff is happening in hall 7, and hall 4 is in the “trade” area (not open to general public pass-holders).
I don’t know where they’re setting up.
While it would be strange, I suppose it is also possible that they’re just talking to press/media.
One wrinkle is that Gamescom is a massive event that sells hundreds of thousands of tickets to the general public. You probably couldn’t do what they did at E3 unless you were willing to set up hundreds of demo stations and give out thousands of hot streaks per hour.
So it turns out that going down the center of the poster is a few supercharged combos, plus it is the clearest photo of the poster, you can see it clearly when you expand it.
Here is a better pic
Where did you find the image?
This image was made by a fan and posted on the Dark Spyro forum.
However, I do believe that most of it is correct.
Really interested in how the vehicles are being split.
Light – Sky
Dark – Sea
Undead – Land x2
Earth – Land x1 (Probably x2)
Fire – Land x2
Air – Sky x2
Life – Sky x2
Water – Sea x2
Magic – Sea x2
Leaving us totally in the dark on Tech. I wonder if Tech will be a Sea/Air split giving us 6/6/6 of all the vehicle types. Guessing Tech will be Land as well though and we’re going to be seeing 5/8/5
