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.

V You're right. I'm sorry for throwing my comments at you, @pokelander. I know you don't get much respect around here. I'll keep my accusations to a minimum.

On a brighter note, anyone want to give some name ideas for the air and water senseis?

Would everyone please just stop?!?!?! You are all confirming things that haven't been and unconfirming things that have been. You are all lucky you haven't been g'norcd YET.I suggest you all just stop . Acting like 2nd graders is not going to get you anywhere. Stop complaining and insulting others and say\do something productive.

smilie is leaving the building.

Luminous35 you have made yourself a part of it by posting that comment.

You know what? I hope all three of you get gnorc'd for this pathetic argument. Just stop with it already.

@pokelander, you're contradicting yourself though by saying "i guarantee it'll happen"..."but it's not confirmed"

Also, look at the darks. They aren't released separate from their starter

I happen to be an English major, thank you very much.

And, Pokelander, I don't really care what you have to say, so I'm done arguing with you.

V Oh Pokelander, what a sad person you are. Did you get your '3rd grad education' just so you could argue and nitpick with children on the internet? You do realise Skylanders is a game aimed towards children, right? So there's bound to be some children on here who might not have the best of grammar. Perhaps you need to go outside, get some fresh air and meet some people instead of letting this game consume you

Good riddance.

@pokelander please don't start this again. That has not been confirmed at all, so why say that it has? Lots of people come on this site to see the news, and if you're here saying stuff that isn't true, DarkSpyro isn't a reliable source. If you want to talk about what you think is real or not, I suggest you go start your own skylanders website

OK I'M ABOUT TIRED OF YOUR ILITERATE @SS, LEARN HOW TO f-ING READ YOU CHILD.

This is what I posted-Yes Greeble I can guarantee you that he will be available in some sort of other pack, which I must make abundantly clear now HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED.

Maybe some of us here need to stop surfing darkspyro, playing skylanders and go back to school and get more than a 33rd grad education.

3rd**

And lastly yes my logic is more rock solid than your logic. Activision is going to make Crash only available in a hundred dollar edition....ARE YOU MAD? They are going to forfeit thousands of dollars on a figure to keep him exclusive to a sony bundle to which they own the rights? Do you see where the logic comes in?It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he will be released in some other form.

Mind you this bs thinking is the same thinking that denied the idea of crash all together.... And guess what happened he got announced...didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out either.
