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 swear I heard in an interview about Dreamcatcher being a figure with arms and legs, I think he was saying he'd like to see it and the guy who worked on the game said "Yeah"

But I suppose that means nothing

bad juju would make more sence in magic if its element was swiched but I don't think luminous will return

dream catcher would be kind of a hard figure to make where she is always floating before I thought the chompy mage was light but I realize my mistake

Ok, so both Luminous and Dreamcatcher have chances of returning.

Luminous is a Light villain and could take the Light villains place.

And, from what we've gathered, all the regular villains keep having their Elements switched, so there's a chance Bad Juju could be put in the Light and Dreamcatcher could take her place in the Air.

But I might be wrong

but don't you think the 11th villan could be a second in any element like maybe dream catcher in air or maybe like trolling thunder or madlobs could have there element be light just saying nowon knows for sure

luminous and nightshade were bonus missions in adventure packs s people who didn't buy them will not know who they are

Pepper Jack is 100% not returning, but Luminous has a HUGE chance.

So far we have 4 Doom Raiders, and Five Regular Villains

Doom Raiders
Golden Queen
Wolfgang
Chompy Mage
Krankcase
???

Regular Villains
Grave Clobber
Hood Sickle
Tae Kwon Crow
Bad Juju
Pain-Yatta

To even out the villain roster, Luminous would HAVE to be the last villain, as hes a Doom Raider. He the only really good LIGHT villain, that actually FITS the Light Element, while every other Light fits Tech, and Eye Five fits Magic.

Bam. Luminous is most likely our Light Villain.

I probably would get Trolling Thunder if he was in. It would complete my Triforce of Mains. Grave Clobber, Hood Sickle, and Trolling Thunder. I still would rather have Luminous.

eye five is more of a magic character even though he is light
