Graham kindly let us in on the reasoning behind the new game and bigger toys, and what other possibilities might be in store for <em>Skylanders</em>.<br />  <br />  We also hear a little bit about where Spyro now fits in the <em>Skylanders</em> universe (That purple dragon that the whole series is based on? Remember him?) Turns out he's still in there, even if his name has been taken off the title for now.</div></center><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/06/activision-talks-skylanders-giants-and-the-future-of-the-franchi/">Activision talks Skylanders Giants and the future of the franchise</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 06 Jun 2012 23:30:00 EST.
