In a pierce that many substantially saw entrance from miles away, Disney says they are positively looking brazen to including characters from Star Wars and Marvel in their stirring game, Infinity. They don’t have anything to announce only yet, yet they wish to make certain gamers are good wakeful a intensity is there.

Disney Infinity, for those that competence not know, can simply be explained as Skylanders with Disney characters. Gamers buy a duplicate of a game, an RFID portal, and a impression starter pack and they’re off and running.

The impression station on a portal influences what impression is seen on screen, and what diversion worlds are accessible. Some of a characters that Disney has announced so distant embody The Incredibles, Pirates of a Caribbean, and Cars.

Those are yet a tip of a iceberg for Infinity, though, as Disney Interactive has already teased. Essentially, any skill owned by Disney was clearly adult for grabs, definition Star Wars and Marvel as well.

Disney Interactive’s Bill Roper serve explained a wish of pulling from Disney’s immeasurable library of properties to Games Industry:

“I consider a beauty of something like Infinity is that it’s a height that we’re building. So we don’t try to be decorous about it – we’ve finished a lot of work about identifying a properties that we felt would unequivocally make a height sing during launch, yet we never bonus any possibilities with a immeasurable array of characters and worlds that we can daub into opposite a company.”

However, given a diversion was expected in growth before Disney acquired a Star Wars IP from LucasFilm – maybe even before Disney roped in Marvel as good – they didn’t lead off with those properties. Still, we have to assume they are good wakeful a dump trucks value of income gamers would be peaceful to send Disney’s approach if they put a few Marvel or Star Wars characters into Infinity.

As Roper explains, a folks during Disney Interactive suspicion a same thing fans did when Disney acquired LucasFilm:

“That was really sparkling when that [news of a acquisition] came down from within a company. We adore a intensity for Infinity – we always joke, well, ‘the possibilities are infinite’.”

Based on Roper’s quote it sounds like Disney Interactive is deliberation enlargement packs themed around those specific properties, or maybe they are saving those characters for a final push. Maybe they wish to set adult a simple judgment of Infinity, that is indeed utterly opposite from Skylanders with a ‘Toy Box’ mode, before entrance quick and mad with a impression reveals.

So yes, Star Wars and Marvel are headed to Infinity. Maybe not this sold incarnation of Infinity, yet really someday down a line.

Does it seem like a no-brainer that Infinity would embody Star Wars and Marvel characters? Should Disney Interactive embody a characters into a categorical line diversion or emanate specific spin-offs?

Disney Infinity releases Aug 18, 2013 for a Wii, Xbox 360, Ps3, 3DS, Wii U, and PC.
