While the video games presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con was a bit more subdued, there were a few publishers/developers present including Activision who were showing off the recently announced "Dark Edition" of the upcoming Skylanders SuperChargers. This version will cost you an additional $25 over the standard kit and includes alternate/"dark" versions of some of the new vehicles and characters.
It wouldn't be a special edition without some kind of console exclusivity and in Skylanders SuperChargers' case, it comes down to which "dark" vehicles and characters you get. Here's the breakdown:
For the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One versions:
- Includes Dark Spitfire, Dark Hot Streak, Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf and Dark Sea Shadow characters/vehicles
- A two-sided ultimate collector poster
- The highly sought-after Kaos Trophy, which is the only way to unlock special Kaos gameplay content
For the Wii U version:
- Includes Dark Spitfire, Dark Hot Streak, Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Dark Barrel Blaster characters/vehicles. [Note: DK and his vehicle are exclusive to Wii U]
- A two-sided ultimate collector poster
- A different, unique adventure including Dark Hammer Slam Bowser and Dark Clown Cruiser
- The highly sought-after Kaos Trophy, which is the only way to unlock special Kaos gameplay content
The "Dark Edition" retails for $99 and is available from all your usual distributors and will be available September 20 when the game is released.
