More Than 20 Marvel Super Heroes Join the
Best-Selling Disney Infinity Video Game Franchise
Disney Interactive and Marvel today launched Disney Infinity:
Marvel Super Heroes – the follow up to last year’s #1
best-selling new hybrid toy / video game of 2013 (according to the
NPD Group’s video games retail sales data). The game is available
for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
systems, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system
and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the
Wii U™ system from Nintendo.
The Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack features
the 2.0 game software, the Disney Infinity 2.0 Base, Marvel’s The
Avengers Play Set with three character figures (Iron Man, Black
Widow and Thor), two Toy Box Game Discs, a web code card and
countless hours of creative play in the all-new Toy Box 2.0.
Marvel’s Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy Play Sets, along
with additional figures from those worlds, will be sold separately.
All characters and Power Discs from last year’s release of Disney
Infinity are compatible with Toy Box 2.0.
“With the launch of Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0
Edition), we’re delivering fresh storylines - for some of Marvel’s
most iconic characters - to one of the biggest video game
franchises on the market,” said Peter Phillips, EVP and General
Manager, Interactive & Digital Distribution at Marvel
Entertainment. “This is one of the most important game launches in
Marvel history, and we believe that fans and collectors of all ages
will be wowed by the experience.”
The new game introduces interactive Super Hero figures from
across the Marvel universe with original Play Set storylines
written with the help of award-winning Marvel comic writer Brian
Michael Bendis. Each new character brings a variety of
super-powered and unique gameplay mechanics such as flying, web
slinging, wall crawling, wall smashing and more.
An improved Toy Box 2.0 mode makes it easier for players to
create and share their one-of-a-kind levels and games with family
and friends using their favorite Marvel and Disney characters,
vehicles, settings and items. New and enhanced Toy Box tools and
toys will make the groundbreaking game mode even more accessible
for players of all ages. Toy Box Game Discs deliver new structured
gameplay modes to the Toy Box where players can engage in classic
Dungeon Crawler and Tower Defense gameplay using any character from
across the Disney Infinity universe.
“For the 2.0 version of Disney Infinity, we’ve re-tooled nearly
every aspect of the game to ensure it matched the epic expectations
of Marvel Super Hero fans around the world,” said John Blackburn,
SVP and General Manager of Avalanche Software. “Whether they’re
playing with the entirely new character skills and combat systems,
exploring Play Sets four times larger than the original version, or
building worlds in the new Toy Box, we hope fans will be blown away
by the evolution of Disney Infinity.”
Community continues to play an important role in Disney
Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, with the availability of new Toy
Boxes created by the recently hired Avalanche Software Community
Team. These super-fans turned level designers will be designing
immersive, themed Toy Boxes and episodic content for Disney
Infinity players to download for free at launch and beyond. Also
available at launch will be select Toy Boxes designed by Toy Box
Artists from around the world at the inaugural Disney Infinity Toy
Box Summit this past August.
Developed by Avalanche Software, the Disney Infinity: Marvel
Super Heroes Starter Pack carries a suggested retail price of
$74.99 and all versions are rated "E-10+" by the ESRB. The
Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy Play Sets are available
separately for a suggested retail price of $34.99. Individual
character figures are available for a suggested retail price of
$13.99 and blind Power Disc packs for $4.99.
