The Skylanders franchise has prospered over the years due to its creative concept of “toys come to life.”
Fans young and old have enjoyed mystical, action-packed excursions with Spyro and his friends throughout several entries. We’ve all fought hard to stop Kaos’ evil intentions in Spyro’s Adventure, Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team and SuperChargers. 2016 is bringing us a much-requested feature that fans have requested since this series was birthed – custom characters! Everyone will finally get the chance to develop their own heroes, plus older fans of PlayStation One’s orange mascot have something to look forward to.
There’s a ton of into to soak up regarding this year’s Skylanders adventure, which is why we’re here to give you everything you all need to know.
Get all your Skylanders goods here.
1. Kaos is Back Once Again to Act Out His Latest Evil Scheme
Kaos has (and probably always will be) the central baddie at the center of the Skylanders universe. He’s always managed to endanger the lives of the denizens of Skylands, but the Skylanders you’ve come to collect and strengthen over the years have put a stop to his evil schemes. For Imaginators, Kaos is back and this time he’s looking to wreak havoc with his army of Doomlanders.
For an official explanation of this entry’s plot, check out the full description posted below:
Kaos has discovered the ancient power of Mind Magic and is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders! Eon is calling upon all Portal Masters and Skylands’ greatest mystic warriors, the Senseis to stop Kaos and his minions. Now, you must use the power of your imagination to create your own Skylanders to battle in the ultimate adventure alongside the almighty Senseis to save Skylands.
2. You Can Finally Create Your Own Skylanders; They’ll Learn Additional Skills From Senseis
One thing is for certain: Skylanders’ biggest followers have always wanted to create their own characters. Imaginators takes that request and builds it out into a fully playable concept. By obtaining a single Imaginite Creation Crystal and placing it atop the new Portal of Power, you’ll get the opportunity to create your own hero. Your character can obtain their abilities once you select a Battle Class for them; those Battle Classes fall under the category of Brawler, Sorcerer, Smasher, Knight, Quickshot, Sentinel, Ninja, Bazooker, Bowslinger and Swashbuckler. The Imaginite Creation Crystals themselves come in a variety of elements, such as Fire.
Properly upgrading your own heroes means you’ll need to select a Sensei for them to learn from. As you progress through the game, these characters will help your warrior obtain new weapons, increase their level cap, access secret areas and unlock Secret Techniques if your Imaginator matches up with their Sensei’s Battle Class. The Sensei characters you can collect, __play with and learn new skills from includes:
– Kaos
– Master Ambush (Knight)
– Wolfgang (Bowslinger)
– Master Ember (Sentinel)
– Hood Sickle (Sentinel)
– Master King Pen (Brawler)
– Master Tri-Tip (Smasher)
– Golden Queen (Sorcerer)
– Master Chopscotch (Smasher)
– Dr. Krankcase (Quickshot)
– Master Starcast (Ninja)
– Crash Bandicoot (Brawler)
– Dr. Neo Cortex (Sorcerer)
3. Fans Can Interact With Their Creations Via the Skylanders Creator App, Plus You Can Showcase Them in Out in the Real World
Getting more familiar with your Imaginator can now be done in a myriad of ways. A special iOS/Android app called Skylanders Creator will allow you to create a whole new character or customize any of your current heroes. Some other benefits of this app includes the chance to collect timed Imaginite loot chests, daily Sensei loot chests, a gallery of all your characters and the ability to share your creations via social media.
One of the coolest new ways you’ll be able to interact with your custom heroes is through new physical goodies. By interacting with the app, you’ll get the chance to immortalize your hero by requesting a 3D printed Imaginator figurine. There’s also the option to splash your character all over a custom T-shirt, which showcases him/her and their name, Battle Class and Elemental Type. And then there’s the choice to have your hero placed onto an Imaginator Card. You’ll be able to change the in-game version of your character while their card image remains the same as it was when you first got it. Placing either the custom figurine or card upon the new Portal of Power brings your character to life.
