Disney Confirms Marvel Figures For Disney Infinity, But What Is '2.0 Edition'?
With Captain America: The Winter Soldier reigning victorious at the box office, it’s no surprise that Disney is choosing this moment to promote tie-in products. We reported on Marvel figures for Infinity, and today Disney has confirmed that superheroes are coming.
We don’t know a lot about how Marvel will be incorporated into the Disney Infinity world. The “Get Ready to Assemble” video is just a teaser featuring Captain America’s shield.
We also don’t yet have an explanation for what Disney Infinity’s “2.0 Edition” is, or if this means that new figures won’t work without a new piece of software. We’ve reached out to Disney to get clarification on just what “2.0 edition” means for families that have already invested in the game.
Our Take
Dropping the “2.0 edition” label in the trailer with no context or explanation isn’t a wise decision. I’m expecting that this means a new game and possibly new hardware. Leaving families to speculate about what a new term means isn’t good business.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
