In the brand new console Starter Pack, the player gets three Skylanders ( Tree Rex, Jet-Vac, and a Series 2 Cynder), a Portal of Power, Trading Cards, a Poster, and the game itself. The theme music from the previous game was again provided by Academy Award Winning film composer Hans Zimmer, whilst a new orchestral score was produced by the returning composer, Lorne Balfe.

Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow returned to help write the story. However, Frightbeard found a way out and is on his way back to free his crew and wreck havoc on all of Skylands.

10,000 years ago, the Arkeyans locked away Captain Frightbeard and his crew in the chest, with his sword acting as a lock. The Portal Master, along with Flynn, Hugo, and others along the way, race Captain Frightbeard, the villain of the 3DS version, to the Chest of Exile. With a new threat looming, they are summoned back to join forces with the Skylanders. Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth.
