Following recent leaks, Activision has made the next entry in the Skylanders series official. Skylanders Imaginators will launch on October 16 for Wii U and other platforms. Unlike past years, there’s no sign of Wii and 3DS versions.

Details that we heard about yesterday were spot on. Skylanders Imaginators will let players make their own Skylanders for the first time, there will be a new elementally-aligned toy type called the Creation Crystal, and Skylanders Senseis are being introduced.

You can find the first Skylanders Imaginators below. We’ve also included the official announcement with more details after the break.
