Three games were thought as sequels of Lara Croft's sixth adventure, two of which were [Kurtis Trent] spin-offs. During a long time it was told that Core Design worked hard on Lara Croft's renovation, without this big amount of work having chance to be revealed. Indeed, that was the case. (...) Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness was the first episode of a trilogy. The Lost Dominion, the second one, ended with a cliffhanger: Kurtis possessed by Karel's spirit. It was needed, then, to close this saga with a third and last episode. But this time there's no mistery behind it: this was never writen, and absolutely nothing had been thought yet for this third game.

Similar to Skylanders: Cloud Patrol, there was the Element of the Day function in Skylanders: Lost Islands. Using a Skylander that matched the Element of the Day would let the player's Skylander get extra experience and coins.

Skylanders: Lost Islands was a game where players had to use gold, gems, and energy to perform tasks and build homes for the Mabu. Use gold and gems to build houses. Each house built would add to the players' Mabu population. When players get a certain amount of Mabu, they'd use them to build community buildings such as banks and post offices. Houses and communities give the player experience over time, which would be collected to advance in levels and unlock new features. Gold and gems could also be used to buy production items such as adventure balloons and energy fields, or decorations such as trees or roads.
