"Now's the time, Portal Master!"

Welcome back to Skylands, Portal Master. Things have changed quite a bit since your departure, both for the better and for the worse. But, despite that, there's still one thing that may catch your eyes — the Slayers! So, Portal Master, I say it's time to take a journey into the many realms of Skylands one last time — a journey for both returning Portal Masters and new ones, too, that is!


Prologue

It's been more than a decade since the events of Skylanders: Imaginators, and the realms of Skylands have prospered verily. The Skylanders have been holding the fort while you, the Portal Master, were gone. Additionally, there's a new group of Skylanders to behold — the Slayers! The Slayers are skilled, revered elemental warriors from across Skylands. They fight for more than just to protect Skylands, but also for their own reasons. Because of their heroic deeds, many evil factions across Skylands have remained rather dormant, including Kaos, who's currently being held in Cloudcracker Prison. Well, that is until now. The Dark Void have began their invasion over Skylands. But who are they? Well, we'll have to go way back to the ancient times of Skylands to figure out this fiasco.

During the ancient times of Skylands, there were the Light and Dark Sentinels — they worked with the Giants to grant them the powers of Light and Dark to defeat the Arkeyan Empire. The Light Sentinels used the powers from the Portal Masters and the Dark Sentinels used the powers of The Darkness for good. After the exile of the Giants, the Dark Sentinels were summoned by the Portal Masters for no reason. Little did they realize that the Portal Masters and Light Sentinels were setting up a trap of them, as they feared they would succumb the evilness of The Darkness. They used a Rift Engine to exile the Dark Sentinels to riftspace, where they would spend their time until the SuperChargers' battle with The Darkness.

During their time in riftspace, the Dark Sentinels decided to learn the powers of The Darkness and their hatred for the Portal Masters and Light Sentinels grew. Additionally, the use of Rift Engines by the Skylanders allowed the Dark Sentinels to travel to different dimensions freely via the power of rifts. Soon, around modern times, they found the Dark Void — home of The Darkness himself. The Darkness told the Dark Sentinels they were able to receive a massive power-up, as long as they bring him to Skylands after their own conquest. The Dark Sentinels agreed willingly, and soon began their invasion on Skylands.

Because of his connections with The Darkness, the Dark Sentinels appeared to Kaos after raiding Cloudcracker Prison. They offered the Dark Portal Master a chance to get his powers back, as long as he helps them conquer Skylands, appearing as his humble servants who've a grudge against the disciples of the Light Sentinels and the Portal Master — you. With this new alliance formed, the Dark Sentinels finally made their move into Skylands. Upon their arrival, although only they didn't see it, there's a beacon of light from a certain place in Skylands — the ruins of the Citadel of Light. The Slayers, who did see it, go there to investigate. They learn from scrolls left by the old Portal Masters and Light Sentinels about the Dark Sentinels and their intentions, and that there's a way to defeat them.

And so, the journey of the Slayers begins...

Development for Skylanders: Slayers has been put on hold for a bit, mainly due to game engine issues. However, I'm also planning to switch over to Turbowarp for my games' development, so stay tuned, Portal Masters!

1/20/25 Devlog: A Short and Sweet One

Basically, Skylanders: Slayers has genre-shifted again — it's now a 2.5D sidescrolling beat 'em up. Sound familiar? Anyway, the story is also being rewritten... Again... Incredible. It's the second time this year.

Aight, I just finished rewritting the story. Now back to working on the engine.
