Skylanders Imaginators Announced
The next addition to the massively popular Skylanders franchise has arrived. In a press release, Activision revealed Skylanders Imaginators, which will allow for the very first time, the ability to truly create your own Skylander.
“Coming October 16 in the US, Skylanders Imaginators will allow you to create your own Skylanders for the first time in an all-new story in the universe, brought to you by the original Skylanders creative team Toys for Bob.
Skylanders Imaginators will support the toys from all previous games, while the eponymous ‘Imaginators’ – characters you can build from scratch – can be created and transported into the game anytime and anywhere through a new toy type, the ‘Creation Crystal’.
‘Guest stars’ will also be introduced in Skylander Imaginators called “Senseis”, which include 20 new characters and 11 former villains. Each Sensei is a master of one of 10 Battle Classes such as Knight, Sorcerer, Brawler, and have the ability to launch Sky Chi – “the ultimate Battle Class super move”.”
The game will feature both local co-op and multiplayer play. And two Creation Crystals will be allowed at once on the portal.
Skylanders Imaginators will hit the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U on October 16 in the USA, October 14 in the UK, and October 13 in Australia/New Zealand.
