Unleash Your Imagination With Skylanders Imaginators

After a few entries in the Skylanders series, Activision and series creators Toys For Bob are back with the all new Skylanders Imaginators, which for the first time will let players, create their own Skylanders.

“Since we launched the very first Skylanders game, we have received countless letters and drawings from kids all over the world sharing their vision for their own Skylanders. No matter how in touch with our 'inner kids' we might think we are as adults, nothing comes close to the endless creativity that springs from the mind of an inspired kid,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. "We've turned this year's game into the ultimate blank canvas for kids' imaginations so they can create and play their own Skylanders.”

Skylanders Imaginators will let players not only choose how their characters looks, but also how they sound, their catchphrases, music and more. The amazing depth of the creation system could allow for more than a googol distinctive characters. With the evil Kaos on a new quest to take over Skylands, it’s up to Portal Masters everywhere to create their own Skylanders – known as Imaginators – using the new elementally-aligned toy type called the Creation Crystal. Creation Crystals allow players to transport their Imaginators to consoles at anytime, anywhere.

Skylanders Imaginators introduces Skylanders Senseis, all-new heroes who represent 10 powerful Battle Classes such as Knight, Sorcerer, Bowslinger, Brawler and more. Skylanders Senseis help train created Imaginators by offering a range of benefits including unlocking super-cool Imaginator weapons, providing access to special areas in the game, as well as bestowing Secret Techniques across the Battle Classes. Senseis also have their own unique benefits including the extraordinary ability to unleash Sky-Chi – the ultimate Battle Class super move. There are a total of 31 Senseis, which include some fan-favourite villains who have been reformed and now fight for good!

 

“Skylanders consistently delivers on innovative gameplay experiences. With customisation a dominant trend in the consumer market, the fact that Skylanders Imaginators will allow kids to bring their own creations to life is a game changer and one our customers will enjoy,” said Richard Barry, Global Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys“R”Us, Inc. “We are proud to continue to serve as a marquee Skylanders destination, and look forward to fans’ excitement when the new Skylanders Imaginators game arrives this holiday season.”

In order for players to keep their creation alive between gameplay sessions, they will need to use a Creation Crystal, one of which you get with the game. If you want to create more Skylanders,then you need more crystals.

The game is coming out for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
