Darth Maul, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Yoda will be available as additional characters and figures. Star Wars characters will be able to merge playsets, allowing for canon-breaking in-game scenarios.
Disney Infinity 3.0’s Rise Against the Empire playset has been crafted by Studio Gobo, which previously worked on the Pirates of the Caribbean set. It follows Luke and Leia through memorable sequences in which they come to blows with Darth Vader and his forces. The battle of Yavin, Hoth, and Tatooine have been mentioned as events and locations that will be included.
A second Star Wars playset, based on The Force Awakens, has also been announced for this winter, along with sets based on Pixar’s Inside Out.
Sleeping Dogs developer United Front Games is working on new Marvel characters, including the Hulkbuster Iron Man, Ultron, and more.
Finally, it has also been confirmed that additional Disney Infinity 3.0 figures include Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Tron: Legacy’s Sam Flynn and Quorra, Mulan, Olaf, “and more” will be available.
