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 okay so just throwing this out there but based on game play of golden queen and Wolfgang the villains seem to retain one of their moves(examples being Wolfgangs slide and golden queens sentinels) so hood sickle will probably keep his teleport, painyatta will "probably" still barf candy, krankase will either do the leg spin attack, and tae kronor know will probably be unchanged but with added fire buffs

Since we're on the subject of these newly revealed villain sensei's anyone want to throw out any ideas for attacks? I'll go first
Tae Kwon Crow: 1st attack shuriken throw 2nd attack sword slash 3rd attack teleport (maybe with a fire blast effect given his new element)
Dr Krankcase: 1st attack goo blasters 2nd attack leg spin (like in trap team) 3rd attack lightning shockwave (like his lightning hand in trap team)

When I first saw TKC was fire I hated it, how does he belong in fire?! but someone (I forget who and am too lazy to look back) said "would you rather have powerful villains with the elements switched or have no villains at all". and yeah, but I still don't like the fact that TKC's in fire.

If u look closely on Krankcases base in the video BlazeTheDrago posted, u'll see gears, he's tech (thank goodness)

It's odd the didn't add him yet, he might be waiting for ingame pictures or a clear model of the figure that isn't so covered in light like the photos.

It's on my country, which is why I put it as trivia on the wiki. The original one from Rome is also a bit like it, but what I remember is that the objective of hopscotch is to escape hell and get into heaven.

It really took kids to put that lore on like 10 rectangles randomly drawn on the ground.

Fun fact about Chopscotch.

I read on Skylanders Wiki that hopscotch in some countries involve going to the afterlife...maybe referring (her?) Element.
