Skylanders: Trap Team utilizes a near-field communication reader platform, called the Traptanium Portal, that reads NFC chips located on the bottom of figurines. The figurines are then used in-game as playable characters. It introduces a new group of Skylanders called the "Trap Masters", who work with the Portal Master to capture the criminals that Kaos has released from Cloudcracker Prison, which holds the most feared villains of Skylands.
A sequel, Skylanders: SuperChargers, was released in September 2015.[5]
