is being developed by Avalanche Software in partnership with Ninja Theory, Sumo Digital, Studio Gobo and United Front Games, and will be 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, the Wii U™ system from Nintendo, PC and iOS and Android devices. 

 Play Set, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker character figures, and a web code card that unlocks content for PC and mobile devices.  Other 

Play Sets, figures, and Toy Box Expansion Games will be sold separately. 

All figures and Power Discs from the 1.0 and 2.0 editions of 

in the enhanced Toy Box and, for the first time, Power Discs will be sold in labeled franchise-specific packs of four.  Additional Disney, Disney•Pixar, Marvel and 

 figures and Play Sets will be announced in the coming months.

The folks over at Game Informer have revealed that the next Disney Infinity upgrade will be chiefly devoted to STAR WARS.   This news isn’t particularly shocking given that The Powers That be have obliquely teased the possibility on at least a few occasions, and the fact that there’s…you know…this nutty little STAR WARS movie hitting later this year. 

Notably, the next iteration of the figure-based gaming universe is dubbed ‘INFINITY 3.0’ (the recent Marvel issuance was decreed 2.0).  No word (yet) on whether this means a new portal (the nifty device which sucks figure avatars and the information saved on the figures into games) will be deployed.  If so, new starter sets would have to be purchased for roughly $79.  If not, and if the 2.0 portals can be used here…fans will only have to wrangle the SW figures they’re interested in, and whatever playsets (i.e. ‘level’ statues) they want to purchase.  More on this later.

…strongly implying the coming of Ultron and Hulk Buster figures (yes!).  The video below also provides the briefest look at two of INFINITY’s upcoming TRON LEGACY figures.  

I quite enjoyed INFINITY 2.0 - found it to be a smart an affectionate celebration of all things Marvel, its figures to be fun and well crafted, and the game itself it be a wisely realized upgrade which learned from the shortcomings of the title’s intorductory iteration.  If that smart learning curve continues, this new STAR WARS stuff could be a helluva lot of un indeed.
