Returning September 28th, the Skylanders are faced with their greatest challenge ever! With Spyro turned evil at the hands of uber-villain Strykore, it will take all of the Skylanders uniting together to help Spyro remember the true hero he really is and restore peace to the realm.

Another release date to add to the pile, the launch date of the third season of the Netflix exclusive animated show Skylanders Academy has been revealed as Friday the 28th of September.

If you're not all that bothered by knowing upcoming plot points then a rather spoiler heavy interview with the two new showrunners, Clayton Sakoda and Ian Weinreich, can be found on Collider.

The second season of Skylanders Academy is due to hit Netflix on October 6th so it's once again time for a new trailer:

Skylanders Academy Season Two finds our team of heroes questioning their identities and pasts. Spyro begins a search for answers about his ancestors in order to harness and understand his special powers. Meanwhile, Kaos' quest to bring evil rule to the Skylands realms accidentally unleashes a villain more powerful than anything Kaos or the Skylander warriors have ever faced. The Skylanders unite once more for the greatest showdown against evil yet - putting them all to the ultimate test.

The second season will be released all at once on the 6th of October, with the already confirmed third season probably following in late 2018. In the meantime you can check out Collider's interview with Eric Rogers, the showrunner for Skylanders Academy, to learn a bit more about the new season.
