GameStop have shared that they will exclusively sell a Skylanders SWAP Force: Dark Edition Starter Pack alongside the game’s launch, available for both Wii U and Wii.

Whilst on a special mission, a team of Skylanders discover a secret lair where Kaos was experimenting on Petrified Darkness. Whilst battling inside, the lair exploded causing a cloud of pure Darkness to be released.

Realising they couldn’t let it escape, the Skylanders absorbed the dark energy which caused them to transform into dark versions of themselves. Though, through Spyro’s assistance, they’ve learned to tame the darkness inside them. Apparently.

The pack’s contents include a copy of the game, Portal of Power, five exclusive Dark Edition Skylanders figures, a mega character poster, five sticker sheets with secret codes, and, lastly, five trading cards.

Those five figures encompass Dark Washbuckler, Dark Blast Zone, Dark Stealth Elf, Dark Spyro and Dark Lockjaw, with those that pre-order able to receive a free new LightCore Hex Skylanders figure.
