LONDRES, October 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

- La Isle of Skye se reúne con su gemelo 'virtual' - Primicia mundial al tiempo que la isla de Escocia se asocia con Skylanders Swap Force™


VisitScotland, el Highland Council y Activision Publishing se asocian con el primer gemelo 'virtual' de destino del mundo real a través de un mundo de videojuego

VisitScotland, el Highland Council y Activision Publishing, Inc., una filial de propiedad completa que forma parte de Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), anunciaron hoy que la Isle of Skye de Escocia se ha asociado de forma gemela[1] 'virtual' con Skylands, hogar del próximo juego, Skylanders SWAP Force™. Las impresionantes Highlands escocesas han reunido a las islas virtuales de Skylands, a fin de celebrar el mes de SWAPtober y el lanzamiento de Skylanders SWAP Force™. Los gemelos virtuales marcan la primera ocasión que un mundo de videojuego se ha asociado con un destino real. Skylanders SWAP Force estará disponible en las tiendas al por menor desde el 18 de octubre.

Situada en la costa occidental de Escocia, la Isle of Skye cuenta con un paisaje montañoso impresionante, lagos marinos y fauna que atrae a visitantes procedentes de todo el mundo.  

Alan Mackenzie, de VisitScotland y que tiene su sede en el Information Centre de Portree de VisitScotland, explicó: "La Isle of Skye es conocida por sus impresionantes paisajes, que cuentan con una calidad casi etérea, además de su abundancia de fauna, siendo el lugar perfecto para ser gemelo virtual de Skylands, el hogar de la Skylanders SWAP Force. Estamos emocionados por asociarnos con la franquicia Skylanders[TM] por esta asociación única, que ayudará a aumentar el perfil de esta Hermosa parte del mundo, instando a las familias a disfrutar de una aventura en la vida real de la Isle of Skye - a la que ninguna otra parte de la tierra se acerca".

--------------------------------------------------

1. No se ha firmado ningún acuerdo oficial de hermanamiento por medio del Highland Council. Como Skylands es una tierra mágica - es difícil conseguir que los documentos se lleven a una oficina de Correos.

A fin de conmemorar el hermanamiento official, Activision y VisitScotland han llevado el mundo virtual de los Skylands a las impresionantes Highlands escocesas por medio de:

  • Una visita inaugural a la Isle of Skye por medio de Wash Buckler, uno de los nuevos personajes de Skylanders SWAP Force; Wash Buckler realizará la gira por algunos de los puntos más famosos de la isla, visitando a los niños en la Portree Primary School.
  • Una compra SWAP de la página web de la Isle of Skye, http://www.skye.co.uk, donde los seguidores mundiales de la franquicia Skylanders podrán escribir SWAP en la página principal para ver una aparición mágica.


La franquicia Skylanders es pionera dentro del género de 'llevar los juguetes a la vida' al combinar figuras físicas con el mundo virtual de los videojuegos. Skylanders SWAP Force se basa en el éxito de la franquicia con su juego de firma y experiencia de juguetes de colección, añadiendo una dimensión a la innovación de "juguetes para la vida". El juego presenta una nueva conducta de desarrollo - capacidad de intercambio - lo que permite a los jugadores reconfigurar las 16 figuras de interacción SWAP Force en más de 250 personajes únicos intercambiando la parte más alta y la base de las mitades de sus figuras de interacción*.

"Estamos emocionados de seguir combinando las experiencias físicas y virtuales por medio de la franquicia Skylanders, y qué mejor forma de hacerlo que haciendo de Skylands el primer videojuego del mundo que se hermana con un destino real", comentó Michael Sportouch, vicepresidente y responsable general de Activision Publishing. "Con el lanzamiento de Skylanders SWAP Force a la vuelta de la esquina, se trataba del momento perfecto para fusionar el mundo mágico de Skylands con la belleza de la Isle of Skye. Estamos seguros de que esta asociación va a encender las imaginaciones de las familias siempre que visiten las Highlands, pero desgraciadamente no tendrán que preocuparse de ver ningún Chompies[2] en la Tierra".  

El Concejal Thomas Prag, presidente del Planning Environment and Development Committee del Highland Council, indicó: 'Estamos ilusionados de dar la bienvenida a los personajes de Skylanders a las Highlands. Este es un proyecto poco habitual, ya que no podemos firmar un acuerdo real de hermanamiento debido a las limitaciones de llevar los documentos a las Skylands. Pese a ello, estamos encantados de ver la visita de Wash Buckler a la Isle of Skye, y esperamos que su visita inste a muchas más personas a buscar la aventura en las Highlands'.  

SKYLANDERS, SKYLANDERS SWAP FORCE, SWAP FORCE, SKYLANDERS GIANTS, SKYLANDERS SPYRO'S ADVENTURE y ACTIVISION son marcas registradas propiedad de Activision Publishing, Inc.

*Necesita la compra de todos los 16 SWAP Force Skylanders.

VisitScotland, la organización nacional de turismo de Escocia, proporciona apoyo promocional en especie para el proyecto virtual de hermanamiento.

--------------------------------------------------

2. Chompies es uno de los monstruos más comunes en Skylands, no existe en la Tierra.
