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. 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 bring Skylands to its knees. However, there is hope. New Skylanders have risen, and, with the help of the Portal Masters, they will be able to defeat these evils, gather the gems before it is too late and save Skylands from peril once again.
