Today, Disney Interactive revealed
details for Marvel Battlegrounds, the upcoming Play Set for Disney
Infinity 3.0 Edition, featuring a new four-player, arcade brawler style
of gameplay, and an original Marvel storyline. Developed by United Front
Games, in partnership with Avalanche Software, Marvel Battlegrounds is
the first Disney Infinity Play Set to feature four-player gameplay. With
full compatibility for all Disney Infinity Marvel characters, Marvel
Battlegrounds features the widest selection of playable characters of
any previous Play Set.
“With Disney Infinity 3.0, we’ve
aimed to provide a wider variety of gameplay than ever before, and the
Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set represents our commitment to developing
something entirely new for our players,” said John Blackburn, SVP &
GM of Disney Infinity. “The four-player arena style combat gameplay is a
perfect way for friends and families to come together and play in
head-to-head battles with some of their favorite Marvel characters.”
Launching in March 2016, Marvel Battlegrounds will feature
Hulkbuster, Ultron and Captain America – The First Avenger, a new
version of Captain America with a new pose, costume and enhanced
abilities. Additional Marvel Battlegrounds figures will be announced in
the coming months. All Disney Infinity (2.0 Edition) Marvel figures
will be playable in the Play Set and will feature adapted abilities and
skills to complement the new style of gameplay of Marvel Battlegrounds.
“We worked closely with the Disney
Infinity development team to come up with new gameplay and storyline for
Marvel Battlegrounds that is unique to the platform,” said Jay Ong, VP
of Games, Marvel Entertainment. “We’ve created an authentic Marvel story
that will give players the freedom to choose any Marvel figure in
Disney Infinity and have them face off against each other in an arena
style combat.”
In the original storyline, Ultron
teams up with Loki in an effort to steal Asgard’s immensely powerful
Infinity Stone. To accomplish this, Ultron and Loki create robotic
replicas of the famed Marvel Super Heroes and turn them against each
other in an effort to distract them while they commit their crime. The
Marvel Super Heroes duplicates battle each other in iconic environments
such as a wrecked Brooklyn train yard, Wakanda and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Lunar
Base, culminating in a universe-shaking battle against Ultron.
