Disney Infinity Announced
It looks as if Disney is going to infinity - and beyond.
Disney Infinity has been announced today - and here's the full and exciting press release.
MELBOURNE, Aust. – (JANUARY 16, 2013) – Disney
Interactive today unveiled its most ambitious gaming initiative ever, Disney Infinity. This all new game platform unlocks the freedom to create stories and
play experiences starring beloved characters from The Walt Disney Company and
Pixar Animation Studios. Disney Infinity allows players to
both experience original adventures in some of their favourite Disney and Pixar
worlds and to build their own worlds using the power of their imagination.
“Disney Infinity introduces a new way to interact with the best of Disney on
one game platform, both now and in the future," said John Pleasants,
co-president, Disney Interactive. “With this innovative approach to gaming, Disney Infinity will bring to life new
characters, stories and environments from The Walt Disney Company over time in
a way that will delight fans and gamers alike.”
In a way that only Disney can, Disney
Infinity integrates collectible character figures that come to life in
the game. These figures provide
experiences that are true to these characters and stories, as well as the
opportunity to bring characters from various Disney and Pixar films to play together
in a virtual “Toy Box.” This all-new game universe will launch in Winter 2013
across all consoles and will have a phased roll out across mobile and online
devices throughout 2013.
Throughout each story-driven experience, called
a “Play Set,” players will solve challenging puzzles, battle enemies and
explore iconic locations from famous Disney properties, while collecting unique
characters, vehicles, and gadgets from each world and saving them to a virtual
“Toy Box.” Players can access their “Toy Box” and build and customize their own unique
virtual world using their favourite characters, vehicles,
settings and accessories. Disney Infinity
allows players the opportunity to share these unique creations in the “Toy
Box” mode with friends both online and off.
The Disney Infinity Platform includes:
·
Disney Infinity Interactive Pieces –
Initially a line of 40 collectible interactive pieces will be introduced that
allow players to expand and customize their play experiences.
·
Disney Infinity Interactive Character Figures – Seventeen character figures will allow players to experience a variety
of their favourite characters in true to property experiences and in “Toy Box”

customizations and gadgets.
“Disney Infinity combines prominent
Disney and Pixar characters and scenarios in a way that mimics how kids play in
real life,” said John Blackburn, vice president and general manager, Avalanche
Software. “With our platform’s unique gameplay mechanics and innovative
approach to user generated content within the “Toy Box” mode, Disney
Infinity will spark imaginations and provide endless hours of fun and
creativity.”
