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.

@SodaPopHD That catchphrase is from Trap Team, so it is a possibility

i think he will be somewhat of a simplistic brute, but with a fun, joyful attitude

Hood sickle has the same voice actor....it's just that they haven't got his voice pitch lowerd like they did in trap team because his voice scared some kids

You upgrade Skylanders via the select menu. Her icon is there and in the Powers section for Imaginators though, so who knows if she's still hanging out in the Academy.

I'm imagining Pain-Yatta's Sky-Chi involving him going up into the air like a regular pinata and spewing out miniature pinatas as bombs and slamming down his lollypop afterwards. Also, in the Tae Kwon Crow video by Family Gamer TV, it sounds like Matthew Mercer reprises his role as the Ninja; but his, Hood Sickle's, and Grave Clobber's voice actors are still unknown at the time.

Of course Persephone will be back! Who else would upgrade our Skylanders? Unless, of course, Tessa decides to bring the Power Pod from Woodburrow over to the Academy, with Tuk and Gorm returning as well.

Hood sickle was actually one of my favouirte Villans from trap team but they messed him up.

I feel the same about Hood Sickle as well. I don't hate him for design, I hate him for gameplay.

I'm kind of disappointed with hood sickle's gameplay it's very similar to what he did in trap team and so uncreative he had so much potential....

@Kat-Kun, I'm getting Kaos with my pre-order

VV That's actually nice. I'm pretty sure they're going to reuse a catchphrase from Trap Team, though.

#4531 Kat-Kun 02:20:24 11/09/2016
So, who here is getting Kaos with their pre-order?
I pre-ordered from Amazon, and it says I'm getting a free Kaos figure.

I just noticed that Kaos has the shortest name of all of the Senseis.
