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 agree with Gad the Great, the games should be more about toys to life. Also what about a sports gimmick, or maybe an online sanbox where you are the (portal) master of your world like No Man's Sky. Also maybe a fps or team battle game like pvz garden warfare, but as a sude-thing with the story.

I don't know why ,but I value the returning Villans more than the new guys.

Well that unexpected. I find a link to Skylanders Academy episodes, then I get suspended. A little warning next time please, guys

we're able to watch Puss in Boots episodes online, even thought they're also exclusive to Netflix, but everything seems to draw a line at Skylanders.

Okay, since we are now discussing Skylanders 7 hopes, allow me to fill in with mine.

I honestly don't know what will come with the next game, but I hope we get about 10 more reformed villains. Maybe bringing the rest of the Doom Raiders, and maybe some SWAP Force/SuperChargers villains (like Mesmerelda, Moneybone and especially Cluck; especially since next year is the Year of the Rooster)

As for guest stars, I'm not sure if they will bring back guest characters. I mean, I would ask to bring back smilie like the same way smilie was brought in Imaginators, but I would actually think we might get this in 2018's game, in honor of smilie's 20th anniversary.

@Windlord03
I doubt they will ever block old returning Skylanders. It would be pretty dog. I hope the 7th game is something crazy and insane! Like Swap Force, I remember I didn't believe that Swap Force E3 trailer was real! SWAPPING SKYLANDERS. Skylanders is awesome because they blow our minds by doing the impossible, I hope they do it again. I would love to see battle arenas return and lots of real person interaction, like blocking traps, going in the portal, making you change Skylanders. We are the portal master, they should keep interacting with us! And make nightmare almost impossible!
What ideas do you all have?

I have an idea for the seventh game! Just a regular skylanders game like the first but all the characters have battle classes with a new villian. There are two gueststars Link magic knight and Pit Air Bowslinger also no return repose characters. This game also has returning villians. Here are two of my ideas.
Air: Wind-Sneak: Ninja (uses a katana)
Life: Brocoli Guy: Sorcerer (uses his old staff)
