Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is soaring onto shelves in September, according to an official weekly webcast. At the 8:28 mark in the video below, Executive Producer John Vignocchi says, “Definitely check out all the Avengers that are going to be part of the 2.0 edition of Disney Infinity out this September.”
Official announcements from earlier in the week only noted a fall window, and nothing more specific than that. Also, when Disney’s official fan club let slip of the news a bit early, it noted an August launch, not September – that was all swiftly retracted ahead of the announcement proper.
If September is accurate, however, it means Disney Infinity 2.0 gets the jump on the new Skylanders, which is due to hit North America on October 5 and Europe on October 10. Infinity 2.0 calls on characters from Marvel’s huge roster of heroes. The new characters include Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man, and promises of plenty more besides.
The new game also brings expanded worlds for the heroes to fly around in, and a deeper Toy Box to sink time into. All the additions and expansions won’t prevent returning players from using characters, power discs and Toy Box saves from the original game, because they’ll all be compatible with Infinty 2.0.
