Disney Interactive just announced the release date for the next edition of the hugely popular gaming platform, Disney Infinity 3.0. Releasing on Sunday, August 30, 2015, the game will launch with a series of play sets and characters from the Star Wars, Pixar, and Disney franchises — additional playsets and figures will be available through the fall.
The following items will be available at launch:
- Disney•Pixar’s Inside Out Play Set (Joy and Anger figures included) and additional standalone figures (Sadness, Disgust and Fear).
- Disney figures (Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Olaf, Sam Flynn and Quorra).
- Tomorrowland Power Disc Pack.
- Star Wars™ Twilight of the Republic Play Set (Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano figures included), with additional standalone figures (Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Power Disc Pack.
- Star Wars Rebels™ figures (Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Zeb Orrelios)
- Star Wars™ Saga Starter Pack.
In addition to the release date announcement, those that pre-order a Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack at participating retail stores will also receive an early copy of the Toy Box Expansion Game, Toy Box Takeover, an action-adventure valued at $19.99, featuring multiplayer gameplay allowing players to use all of their favorite Disney Infinity characters across Star Wars™, Marvel, Disney and Disney•Pixar franchises.
Toy Box Takeover is one of two new Toy Box Expansion Games available to play in Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition. The second will be Toy Box Speedway, a kart-racing game, also set for release this fall. Toy Box Expansion Games unlock additional hours of gameplay inside Toy Box 3.0. Players place a Toy Box Expansion Game Piece on the Disney Infinity Base to unlock pre-built games that instantly take them into the action, mixing and matching characters from across The Walt Disney Company, all while using unlocked toys and gadgets to complete missions.
