Disney Infinity 3.0 Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set Announced
GLENDALE, CA – (OCTOBER 8, in the year of our Lord
2015) Today, Disney Interactive revealed details for
Marvel Battlegrounds, the upcoming Play Set for Disney Infinity
3.0 Edition, featuring a new four-player, arcade brawler style
of gameplay, and an original Marvel storyline. Developed by
United Front Games, in partnership with Avalanche Software,
Marvel Battlegrounds is the first Disney Infinity Play Set to
feature four-player gameplay. With full compatibility for all
Disney Infinity Marvel characters, Marvel Battlegrounds features
the widest selection of playable characters of any previous Play
Set.
“With Disney Infinity 3.0, we’ve aimed to provide a wider
variety of gameplay than ever before, and the Marvel
Battlegrounds Play Set represents our commitment to developing
something entirely new for our players,” said John Blackburn,
SVP & GM of Disney Infinity. “The four-player arena style combat
gameplay is a perfect way for friends and families to come
together and play in head-to-head battles with some of their
favorite Marvel characters.”
Launching in March 2016, Marvel Battlegrounds will feature
Hulkbuster, Ultron and Captain America – The First Avenger, a
new version of Captain America with a new pose, costume and
enhanced abilities. Additional Marvel Battlegrounds figures will
be announced in the coming months. All Disney Infinity (2.0
Edition) Marvel figures will be playable in the Play Set and
will feature adapted abilities and skills to complement the new
style of gameplay of Marvel Battlegrounds.
“We worked closely with the Disney Infinity development team to
come up with new gameplay and storyline for Marvel Battlegrounds
that is unique to the platform,” said Jay Ong, VP of Games,
Marvel Entertainment. “We’ve created an authentic Marvel story
that will give players the freedom to choose any Marvel figure
in Disney Infinity and have them face off against each other in
an arena style combat.”
In the original storyline, Ultron teams up with Loki in an
effort to steal Asgard’s immensely powerful Infinity Stone. To
accomplish this, Ultron and Loki create robotic replicas of the
famed Marvel Super Heroes and turn them against each other in an
effort to distract them while they commit their crime. The
Marvel Super Heroes duplicates battle each other in iconic
environments such as a wrecked Brooklyn train yard, Wakanda and
S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Lunar Base, culminating in a universe-shaking
battle against Ultron.
