Captain America - Civil War comes to Disney Infinity

Captain America - The First Avenger comes to Disney Infinity!

Disney announced today that Captain America - The First Avenger will be released in March 2016 for Disney Infinity. The figure is quite impressive - new detailed costume, new pose, and new powers!

It's likely that this figure is intended to tie-in Captain America: Civil War. Both the figure and the movie will be released in March 2016.

They also announced Marvel Battleground Playset details, and here they are:

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.

 
Fans can get a more in-depth look at the Play Set during the Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition: Facing Off in Marvel’s Battlegrounds panel at New York Comic-Con, featuring participants from Disney Interactive, Avalanche Software, United Front Games and Marvel Games. New York Comic-Con attendees can attend the panel on Saturday, October 10 from 4:00 – 4:45 p.m. at Empire Stage 1-E and will receive an exclusive pre-release figure giveaway.

New Marvel and Disney Character List

It looks as if Disney Infinity 3.0 has given away how many new characters will be available for the Disney Originals collection and the Marvel Super Heroes collection. 

There are ten additional spaces on the Disney Originals list. If we count up the new characters that have been announced: Mulan, Mikey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Sam Flynn, Quorra, Joy, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, and Fear. We come to the conclusion that this will be all the Disney Originals for 3.0.

As for the Marvel Super Heroes roster we only know of Hulkbuster and Ultron officially. Logically, we guess that Scarlet Witch, The Vision, and hopefully Ant-Man will be the other three characters yet to be announced. This would make sense since those three characters become the New Avengers and will move forward with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We'll keep giving you the latest and greatest news for Disney Infinity 3.0 so stay tuned!

"The game will try to cater to all Star Wars fans by offering a variety of content packs, featuring a variety of character going on different adventures telling stories set in different eras of the Star Wars saga. Separate packs will be developed by different teams in order to showcase what each individual studio does best within the Star Wars universe.

Ninja Theory’s “Twilight of the Republic” will follow Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano as they investigate who is behind a newly built droid army. The story is set after Attack of the Clones, and features a lot of melee combat. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Darth Maul can be added to the adventure via separately sold figures.

Studio Gobo’s “Rise Against the Empire” allows players to play though classic moments from the original Star Wars Trilogy, including the Battle of Yavin, and spend some time on Hoth and Tatooine. The story primarily features Luke and Leia going up against Darth Vader, but Chewbacca, Han Solo, and a playable Darth Vader can be added through figures sold separately.

A third playset, based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is planned for release this winter." via Gameinformer
