Here’s some great news for those still celebrating May the Fourth — Disney Infinity’s 3.0 edition will feature Star Wars characters and scenes.
In a post on StarWars.com, they announce that the “Starter Pack,” out this fall for $64.99, will be “loaded” with Star Wars content. It will include three play sets, one timeline from each of the original trilogies, plus a new one for The Force Awakens, which will be out in winter.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the new play sets, according to the announcement:
Star Wars: Twilight of the Republic “takes place during the height of the Jedi’s powers, where players will use the Force and lightsabers in epic battles and master their combat skills alongside Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Darth Maul.”
The second play set, Rise Against the Empire, features Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Darth Vader, “piloting X-wing fighters or the Millennium Falcon to fight stormtroopers, or exploring and partaking in land-based missions on planets like Tatooine, Hoth and Endor.”
No word on The Force Awakens play set details, because, well spoilers. But they do add that fans will be able to play with all the Star Wars characters in all the Star Wars play sets. Interesting.
Of course, it will also feature lots of popular Disney stuff, too, like a play set based on the upcoming Pixar film Inside Out, and a Marvel play set featuring Iron Man, Ultron and more.
“Disney Infinity is the only game where fans can play with Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars characters together in one experience,” said James Pitaro, president of Disney Interactive on StarWars.com. “We worked closely with Lucasfilm to deliver an authentic Star Wars game experience, featuring some of the most iconic stories and characters from the past, present and future.”
Disney Infinity 3.0 will be available on PlayStation 3 and 4 systems, Xbox One and 360 systems, Nintendo’s Wii, PCs, and iOS and Android devices.
