Disney Infinity is an action-adventure/sandbox toys-to-life video game series developed by Avalanche Software and distributed by Disney Interactive Studios. The game combined characters from different Disney properties (Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel, Star Wars, etc.) into one game. The game had two different types of game play: Playsets, action-adventure games based off of different franchises and movies (most of the time of movies that were having recent releases at the time), and Toy Box, where you could create anything you wanted in a big sandbox-style game. The series had three games, named 1.0 (2013), 2.0 (2014) and 3.0 (2015).
Sadly, as sales declined as the games went on (mainly because of the toys-to-life genre slowly dying out) Disney had to shut down Avalanche Software, along with all of Disney's video game divisions, and announced that they will primarily be focusing on mobile games. This not only cancelled plans that the studio had the current version of the game (including a playset based off of Moana, 12-inch figures, etc.) but also the next planned game of the series.
The team at Avalanche Software reportedly had multiple plans for this version of the game including:
- Cars 3 Playset
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi Playset
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales Playset
- Coco Playset
- Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 Playset
- Thor: Ragnarok Playset
- A drop of the numbers (2.0, 3.0, etc.) in the tiles
- A Toy Box Story Mode - where you could play as any Disney Infinity character in one action-adventure game
Availability
Since the closing of the closing of the studio in 2017, formed employees have shared multiple work-in-progress stuff from before the series was cancelled. This includes a first look on what 4.0 may have looked like, including a look into a intro of the game with Jiminy Cricket (from Pinocchio) and a look into what the Toy Box Story Mode would have been like.
There's also fan petitions to get the series back, since Disney still owns the IP and recently Avalanche Software was re-opened by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
