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.

Wait, people will actually do that to the crystals?

What is this, a "trust no one" scenario?

I plan to run to GameStop early in the morning on Day 1 to pick up a bunch of figures and crystals.
Why will I do it early in the morning?
Trolls.
People have stated that they will go to shops and buy all of the creation crystals, and then go home and lock Battle Classes to each crystal, and then put them back into the box and return them to the shop. The employees, being none the wiser, will put the crystals back on shelf to be sold again. This means that tons of unsuspecting victims will be unable to pick the Battle Class they wanted.

The figure honestly looks more stiched than paper mache. The artwork on the other hand looks more paper mache.

Pain-Yatta's head looks too organic... In fact, it looks nothing like his figure's head!

VVV Yes and you can bet that the prize for Cortex's mini mission will be a Crash Bandicoot soul gem, obviously set up this way so that people buy them together and not used. I will say however if someone down the road finds just a crash/cortex used for a good price it's a win since the level is officially confirmed now to be in each piece.

VV Not much. Lou is let's playing the thumpin' wumpa islands level as Crash and Aku Aku says "Ah there you are Crash! I have some news your old friend Spyro has been searching the island for anything giving off those bad vibes." Notice how he said "old friend".

I meant that for pwnageFTW

Also while Crash is the only one who can enter the chili crate run there will be a special area that only Cortex can enter

There's some new gameplay on this video, it also reveals there will be interaction with Crash and Spyro, something we've wanted for a long time. Yeah, I know that Spyro Orange and Crash Purple had those two together, but I mean in an actual speaking game

Between the first ever Spyro game and the first ever Crash game, i'll always prefer the first Spyro game, the gameplay is much better. Spyro for the win!

vv yes they do both have two senseis but there is a villain sensei as well so a regular sensei and a villain so that means only a regular sensei and a villain sensei for two classes
