Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes Blasts into Retail Stores Nationwide
Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Super Heroes is in stores now. Fans can now play through as one of many Marvel heroes or villains in a variety of playsets or take things further and enter the all new Toy Box mode.
“With the launch of Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes, we’re delivering fresh storylines - for some of Marvel’s most iconic characters - to one of the biggest video game franchises on the market,” said Peter Phillips, EVP and General Manager, Interactive & Digital Distribution at Marvel Entertainment. “This is one of the most important game launches in Marvel history, and we believe that fans and collectors of all ages will be wowed by the experience.”
Featuring the world’s most iconic Super Heroes, the new game introduces interactive figures from across the Marvel universe with original Play Set storylines written with the help of award-winning Marvel comic writer Brian Michael Bendis. Each new character brings a variety of super-powered and unique gameplay mechanics such as flying, web slinging, wall crawling, wall smashing and more.
An improved 2.0 Toy Box mode makes it easier for players to create and share their one-of-a-kind levels and games with family and friends using their favourite Marvel and Disney characters, vehicles, settings and items. New and enhanced Toy Box tools and toys will make the ground-breaking game mode even more accessible for players of all ages. Toy Box Game Discs deliver new structured gameplay modes to the Toy Box where players can engage in classic Dungeon Crawler and Tower Defence gameplay using any character from across the Disney Infinity universe.
