Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition revealed, includes Dark Donkey Kong / Bowser

A few minutes ago, Activision sent a press release to announce Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition, which is basically a special edition of the game including a Dark version of the Starter Pack figures. On Nintendo platforms, fans will be able to get either Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong (and his Dark Barrel Blaster) or Dark Hammer Slam Bowser (and his Dark Clown Cruiser) depending on the version they pick up.

The Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition Starter Packs will cost $99.99, and includes: Dark Spitfire, Dark Hot Streak, a two-sided poster, the Kaos Trophy (which is apparently the only way to unlock the special gameplay content featuring Kaos), and:

– Dark Turbo Charge Donkey Kong (and his Dark Barrel Blaster), on Wii U
– Dark Hammer Slam Bowser (and his Dark Clown Cruiser), on Wii

Acitivision also announced the Eon’s Elite: a premium toy line featuring the heroes from the original Skylanders. They’re much more powerful than regular characters (up to 3 times), and come with premium decorations, new poses and unique sculpts. The first characters to be released in this special toy line are:

– November (Toys R Us exclusive): Voodood, Zook, Slam Bam;
– December: Ghost Roaster, Boomer and Dino-Rang.

Here’s some screenshots for the game, and pictures of the Skylanders (who also work as amiibo):
