Skylanders: Malefor's Wrath

"A new evil has risen..."

- Skylanders: Malefor's Wrath tagline Skylanders: Malefor's Wrath is the seventh installment in the Skylanders series, developed by Toys For Bob and published by Activision. It is the direct sequel to Skylanders: Imaginators, and, unlike the previous Skylanders games, does not feature any new gimmick. It is to be released in the United States on October 14th, 2018.

Story Summary
Not so long ago, the evil Dragon King Malefor rose and wrecked havoc across Skylands, spreading darkness and fear wherever he went. However, the Skylanders, all working together to defeat this powerful force, were there to stop him. After a long and epic battle with lots of struggles, the mighty heroes triumphed, managing to save Skylands yet again and defeat Malefor once and for all - or so it seemed. The Dragon King, weak and powerless, went into hiding in his underground dungeon, plotting his next attack. Now, Kaos has escaped his containment from Skylanders Academy, and, in an attempt to get his revenge, has freed Malefor once again. The two evils have teamed up, and are scheming to conquer Skylands. However, there is hope. New Skylanders have risen, and, with the help of the Portal Masters, they will be able to defeat these evils and save Skylands from peril once again.

Elemental Gates

Dragon Wings
The Dragon Wings are a new gameplay feature introduced. They first appear and are used in Troll Labs Incorporated, and from there they makes more appearances in levels, both before and after that one. They are a pair of luminescent wings which, upon the Skylander using, allows them to fly from one point to another. When in use, the Skylander transforms into a glowing white orb, with the two dragon wings coming out of the sides. They can be used for areal combat, flying through a stage in a level, or getting to a secret area. There are special zones throughout levels where they are used.
