Story

The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as "Mind Magic" to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secret, Kaos has unleashed the power of "Mind Magic" into Skylands once again - and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it's up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination and stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time - the Senseis!

Characters

For new playable characters there are 20 brand new Skylander Senseis as well as 11 former villains. Along with their element each Sensei will also have a Battle Class from a list of ten: Smasher, Knight, Ninja, Bazooker, Quickshot, Sorcerer, Brawler, Sentinel, Swashbuckler, and Bowslinger.

The first set of characters to be revealed included King Pen, Golden Queen, and Tri-Tip. Here is a table containing all of the new Skylanders, click the + to see all the known variants:

Senseis

"Sensei" is the collective name for the new set of Skylanders (the villains also function as Senseis), their Battle Class determines the types of attacks and weapons they use as well as which abilities they unlock for your Imaginators. They all have a new type of super attack called Sky-Chi that slowly fills up as you defeat enemies until it reaches a point where you can unleash it on your unsuspecting foes (quite similar to the ability Trap Masters had in the 3DS version of Trap Team).

Owning a Sensei of a particular battle class will unlock a Secret Technique for your Imaginators of the same class. As well as that they will each unlock an item and a weapon for use in customisation. Senseis will also be able to access areas known as "Sensei Elemental Realms".

Creation Crystal

Included in the Starter Pack is a Fire Creation Crystal, this allows you to create and store your very own custom Fire element Skylander. To create a Skylander of a different element you'll need to purchase a Creation Crystal of that element.

Be aware that once you select a Battle Class you can not change it on that Creation Crystal ever again. So choose carefully!

Starter Pack

In the Starter Pack you get the Water Sensei Master King Pen, the Earth Villain Golden Queen, and a Fire Creation Crystal. The portal included is identical to that of the Swap Force portal (some regions instead have a modified SuperChargers Portal without a trap slot).

There is also once again a Dark Edition of the Starter Pack, it contains three Dark variant Skylanders (King Pen, Golden Queen, and Wolfgang) and three standard Creation Crystals (Fire, Life, and Dark). The pack also comes with a Gold Imaginite Mystery Chest that unlocks some gear for your Imaginators.

And there is a "Crash Edition" that is only available on PlayStation 3 and 4, it has the same contents as the regular Starter Pack plus the Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex toys. The characters will be available in a separately sold Adventure Pack at a later date.

Platforms

The game is only appearing on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the Wii U. That means no Wii, 3DS, or Tablet versions this year.

I have a theory of who may be the remaining villains, let's start with life:

Cant be a Knight because we have Ambush and cant be a Brawler because that already exists Crash Bandicoot (I understand that he dont count among the 30 sensei, but still do not think that there are two senseis with the same element and the same battle class at the same time) therefore it can be a bazooka

In the water element, we have already King Pen as a brawler of water, so it can be a Kight, and the Light element have a Brawler.

Life Bazooker: Chompy Mage/Pepperjack
Water Knight: The Gulper
Light Brawler: Luminous/Eye Five

at this point anything is possible

V Idk why but I don't think gulper will get a figure :/

V Or maybe we'll get a regular light villain and get water and life doom raiders (smilie and smilie are beginning to become very popular suggestions for the Water knight and the Life Bazooker, and Eye Five makes a lot of sense for the light brawler, who is a normal villain)

It's weird that we didn't get news from SDCC so far :/

Guys If half of the reformed villain are normal villains while the other ones are doom raiders then I'm pretty sure that we will get a normal water villain and 2 doom raiders for light and life smilie

Same. i really hope he can use a sword as well as shurikens, but ninja are supposed to only be ranged, so losing hope of his oversized sword.

i wonder if pain-yatta can still barf candy

I still find it funny how we got Chopscotch gameplay before Hood Sickle.

TFB seriously, give us gameplay.... NOW.

Welp, hopefully we get something similar to Chopscotch that features his gameplay.

Since theres been B-Rolls for every event, (First one had the CC, King Pen, Goldy and Tri-Tip, second one had Ambush, Crash, Wolfgang, and Ember) Maybe we'll get one at Gamescon featuring Tae, Barbella, Krankcase, Chopscotch, and Hood Sickle. Hopefully.. I really want Tae gameplay soon.

VV Dude, you can't just tell some guy not to ask random questions. Maybe they weren't random and he was trying to get his questions answered...

I really think think that pain-yatta will be the magic villain. in the interview where he was (pretty much) confirmed, the person said the bowslinging werewolf (wolfgang) and he did not have a bow in trap team. and secondly it states "like the pain-yatta with his giant candy axe" In TT, Pain-Yatta doesn't have an axe, but a lollipop.

plus it was confirmed only TT villains, so pain-yatta is only logical choice. (ahem, Bomb Shell.)
