Contents DetailsIn 2007, after Vivendi Games merged with, began working on ideas for the Spyro license. There were different early concepts for Spyro, including a 'realistic, gritty' Spyro, a tiny Spyro that ran around the real world on book shelves, and an origami Spyro that can take shape.

I didn't like any Spyro game that predated Skylanders as much as I like Spyro's Adventure and Giants! While it's true that Spyro plays a smaller role in Skylanders(And may not even play a role at. Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is the first video game in the Skylanders series, developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision.It is an action 3D platformer video game that is played along with toy figures that interact with it through a 'Portal of Power', that reads their tag through NFC and features the voices of Josh Keaton, Darin De Paul, Dave Wittenberg, Keythe Farley, Audrey.

In fact, Activision first approached Toys For Bob about doing a Spyro title; Paul Reiche and his company originally aimed for something much darker than Spyro has ever been before. 'It was going to be for an older audience, a darker take on it for the next-gen systems,' Toys For Bob Producer, Alex Ness, says.Early ideas for the Spyro IP before Spyro's KingdomOne of the concepts for the gritty 'realistic' Spyro reboot idea was a post-apocalyptic, exploration toy story where there were no humans and Spyro, his friends, and other characters were 6-inches tall. Enemies would use surrounding objects like forks and knives as weapons. The main mystery for the premise would have had players wondering what happened to the human race.' Let's blow Spyro out,' Paul Reiche said at the time.
'Let's raise up the age range for him, let's appeal to the kids over 16 up into young adults, let's make it tough and bloody. And we did all of this concept work and just lost our enthusiasm. That wasn't Spyro. That isn't what our passion was about. It was much more joyous and active, and so we sort of stepped back from that.' Activision wanted to do more with the character, so Toys for Bob kept coming up with imaginative ways to use the Spyro license, with toys being the way to do this.
One of those ideas included playable little toy dragons that hatched from eggs for users to play with. Eventually, Spyro's Kingdom came into light.Spyro's Kingdom started life as a project, which Graham says still featured 'the toys-to-life idea - taking your toys, putting them on a magic device, and having them come to life in the game. Was going to be a full-grown dragon and the king of Spyro’s Kingdom. You wo to him for quests, and he'd tell you where to go and help you on your adventures.A scrapped WIP webpage of Spyro's Kingdom with early versions of Skylanders Spyro and other SkylandersGraham says this version of the game 'was very close to something we were going to go forward with. I think it was April or May of 2010 where we were almost ready to hit alpha with Spyro's Kingdom, and it was time for the go/no-go call. That’s where we said, ‘this is fun and cute, but it can be so much bigger.'
'At this point, one of Skylanders' key elements - 'toys with brains,' which remember your characters' progress as you level up — wasn’t in the mix. If the action figures had memory inside them, the save functionality would be hassle-free and invisible, plus they’d be platform agnostic — a huge win for kids who might not own the same game system as their friends. 'The goal was to make it very reminiscent of something you would do as a kid,' says Graham. 'You could put your toys in your backpack, go to your friend’s house after school, and you could play with your Star Wars characters with your G.I. Joe characters with your Transformers characters; it didn’t matter that they were from different worlds. We looked at consoles that way too: How great could it be if you could share in an experience regardless of what console you were on?

So there was this big idea of what this game could be.' With Spyro's Kingdom nearly at alpha but an ambitious alternate plan on the table, the decision was up to the top brass, including Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. But as Graham reveals, 'Bobby believed in it completely. He said, 'What do you guys need?’ And from that point on, it was this little idea that continued to grow to what we have now, which is a team of fantasy superheroes - Skylanders.'
