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.

84skylanderdude, why are you still trying to have this arguement? Let us believe what we want. You don't have to make a big deal about it.

So I may have to buy a starter pack for my wii u so i can play as bowser and donkey kong and another starter pack so I can play as crash bandicoot (who was my childhood with spyro) I am very much hoping that crash isn't a PlayStation system family exclusive because I would much rather play the game on my Wii u.

We may be getting Crash in this game.

Take this with a grain of salt though.

From what ive seen and read, you can Make any class with a crystal without having a matching sensei, but you have less customisation options for things like attack paths, as they unlock as you collect more characters.

Chompy King, from what I gathered, you can make any imaginators in any class. The sensei unlocks upgrades and leveling up your imagibators. That's how I believe it works anyway, could be wrong on some of these

VV Although, that would be a great way for Toys for Bob to make some major bank, I don't think anything like having to have the sensei before the actual imaginator will be a thing. In all of his demos, Lou hasn't said that that was in play.

I really hope that won't be happening. My wallet is already in pain from the previous 5 games smilie

Even if we have conflicting sources, both of them are making things up. Activision/TFB would not just spill the beans on what all the Villain toys are already. If it really was all the Doom Raiders, they wouldn't have told anyone yet.

V We know there will probably be more villain figures, but it's not "confirmed" at all who they will be.

Also, to change the subject to a more positive light, is it true that you can only make characters of a class after you use a Sensei in the same one?
