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.

Can I get Kaos by pre-ordering from Amazon ?

KingMed: I like that they brought all of those characters into Skylanders, especially Cynder, she's one of my favourite figures.

Plus, I'm a giant fan of the LOS series and getting Cynder in this is better than not seeing more of her. Then we get to see her in Skylanders Academy eventually

Also: So Cortex really is a Sorcerer, aye? Well I know when I've been proven wrong, I'm sorry people

So, lets clarify a few things cause personally I'm a little confused.
The Crash Edition is PlayStation Exclusive
It Comes with Cortex and Crash along with King Pen and Golden Queen
There is a Crash Bandicoot themed level
Its currently only available for pre-order in the USA?

Did I get that all right?

I think that he's a Scorceror because they don't want to give us more than two classes with the starter pack or they were high when they made this game Rofl

Wow, TFB is the one that's on something hallucinogenic. Alright, I'm curious to see how you do magic with a gun.

Unless they change it later, Cortex is most likely a Sorcerer.

It's confirmed I guess he's a real "Wiz" with technology

I'm just happy that he's playable, maybe he can use the multiple life system too and Uka Uka appears when he respawns

cortex? a sorcrer?

now that i think about it mabey it will be a thing, mabey in other future games they will bring at least two characters from diffreant video game universe, one good and the other evil. much like donkey kong was the good and bowser was the evil, so crash is the good and cortex is the evil, os if they will do more guests thats how it goona work. (not sure why they didnt put mario instead of donkey but you get my point)

I'm almost certain Cortex is a Sorcerer.

#2746 omer1698 05:58:00 16/08/2016
cortex?! this game just keep bring us more and more suprises, and now that cortex is in the ame it make me wonder... are in the @!#2##4 twilight zone? or the matriex?
(sorry of the language, its just this game just proves more and more that he will be awsome)

now that i thin about it its acthully good when it comes to crash becuse thats a perfect balance, crash is a hero and cortex is a villain and now they must to work togather to save skylands. he probobly have selfish reason to do that unlike the other villains that relly change thier sides but it dasent matter cus this is goona be epic!!!!!!

what do you think will be the hub this time? they talkd about somthing calld M.A.P.S in the demo.
