Skylanders Giants was announced for Wii U by Activision at the recent Nintendo Direct in New York City, having already been confirmed for Wii and 3DS.

This follow-up to last year's Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure introduces dozens of brand new figurines to serve as playable characters, several of which being part of the new Giant class of Skylander. Details on the Wii U version are scarce, so it is currently unknown whether it will make use of the near-field communication technology in the Wii U GamePad or if it will use a Portal of Power peripheral like the other versions of the game.

Skylanders Giants is expected to arrive on the Wii U within the launch window.
