Vicarious Visions’ Skylanders: Swap Force is scheduled for a ”day and date” release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the developer announced at E3.

The developer confirmed the news to Joystiq during a demo for the game. Of course the actual release dates of both consoles are still yet to be locked down, but you’ll be able to buy Swap Force alongside your console of choice regardless of when they launch.

The game is due to release Oct. 13 in North America and October 18 in Europe for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Wii, and Nintendo 3DS. The developer also confirmed that players will be able to use the same figurines for both the current and next generation versions of the game.

An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
