Disney Infinity 3.0 - What Is It? #DisneyAfrica #StarWars

Hi Guys,

What’s in store for gaming fans of Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits? Let's get the lowdown on the intergalactic reboot…

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Disney Infinity 3.0 is the only game where players can experience the characters from Disney, DisneyŸPixar, Marvel and Star Wars – and play with them together. Want to see Luke Skywalker in a race with Cars Lightning McQueen from Cars? Want to find out who is stronger: Darth Vader or Marvel’s Hulkbuster? Discover the answers by playing Disney Infinity 3.0 !

GETTING STARTED…
“The Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Pack gets you up and running with the game and two figures,” explains Producer Mat Solie. Battle against evil with Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Pack, which includes Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.



GAME ON…
“At the start of Star Wars Twilight Of The Republic Play Set, you have to get through the Droid Factory on the planet of Geonosis,” reveals Mat Solie. “But you get to see many more iconic Star Wars locations throughout the Play Set. You travel to planets including Naboo, Tatooine and Coruscant – and a whole lot more!”

LOCATION, LOCATION…
“Each of the four big planets – Naboo, Coruscant, Tatooine and Geonosis – are giant open worlds that you can explore,” admits Mat Solie. “When you get to Coruscant, the Jedi temple is the main centerpiece – but you can also visit locations like the restaurant Obi-Wan Kenobi went to in Star Wars Episode II. There’s a lot to see!”

BLAST AWAY…
Ready for combat, gamers? “You can battle with lightsabers, blasters and Chewbacca’s iconic crossbow in the new Play Sets,” reveals Disney Infinity Senior Producer Mobile, Sean Patton.

LIGHT SPEED AHEAD…
“We did an entire re-haul of the combat system in Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition, so all of the characters have combo moves, as well as unique special moves based on the character,” admits Sean Patton. “Obi-Wan is a little more tactical and defensive, whereas Anakin will be more about brute force and power.”

WE HAVE LIFT OFF…
Not only do fans get the opportunity to play with lightsabers in the game, but they also get the chance to fly around the galaxy in iconic Star Wars vehicles. “You get to fly the Millennium Falcon in the Star Wars Rise Against The Empire Play Set,” admits Sean Patton. “It’s awesome! You can also bring it into the Toy Box 3.0 and play with it there.” 


RISE UP…
The Star Wars Rise Against The Empire Play Set comes with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia figures, but you can also add Han Solo, Chewbacca and many more to the game. The action is set within the timeline of the original movie trilogy, so there are tons of iconic locations to visit, including Hoth, Endor and Tatooine.

PIXAR PALS…
Not a fan of Star Wars? Don’t worry! Disney Infinity 3.0 has other games and iconic Disney characters for you to play around with. For starters, there’s a Play Set based on the popular DisneyŸPixar film, Inside Out.

HEAD INSIDE…
“The DisneyŸPixar Inside Out Play Set is a completely different type of game,” admits Mat Solie. “The Star Wars games are more about combat, both on foot and in vehicles. Inside Out is more of a classic platform game where you can play with the five emotions from the movie: Fear, Disgust, Sadness, Anger and Joy.”

MONSTER MASH…
“The Disney Pixar Inside Out Play Set is a cooperative puzzle-solving platformer set after the events of the newest Disney•Pixar film,” continues Mat Solie. “The emotions are all hanging out at Headquarters and Riley is about to go to sleep. She’s watching a funny cartoon on TV, but just as she falls asleep, the controller falls and switches the channel to a scary swamp monster movie. That’s where the fun begins!”

HAIRY SCARY…
“While Riley sleeps, there’s a lot of scary stuff going on inside her head,” adds Mat Solie. “It’s up to the five emotions to fix this! This means you get to head into Riley’s subconscious and sort out her scary thoughts.”

FIVE ALIVE…
“Each of the five emotions has a unique ability to help you through the game,” explains Mat Solie. “Anger can run on lava. Joy can hover. Fear is the fastest character, because he’s scared of everything. And Disgust can bounce around higher than everyone else because everything disgusts her. Last but not least, there’s Sadness. The clouds don’t dissolve when she’s on them, but they do when anyone else steps on them.”

THE MOUSE HOUSE…
There are tons of new Disney Infinity 3.0 figures to tie in with the launch. Alongside 15 Star Wars figures and five Inside Out figures, there will be Mulan, Hulkbuster, as well as Frozen fave, Olaf. You can even add classic Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse to your collection, too!

SNOW JOKE…
“Olaf really cracks me up in Disney Infinity 3.0,” admits Senior Producer Michael Schneider. “He’s really funny and it’s a completely different experience to having a Jedi or a Sith. Olaf’s got some really funny animations when he defeats enemies. For his special power, he goes into summer mode. The sun comes out, so he flips out his beach chair and lies down while his enemies fry under the sun!”

HEY MICKEY…
“Mickey’s has cool boxing moves in Disney Infinity 3.0, so he can punch and block,” explains MichaelSchneider. “For his special attack move, he summons his friends to come and fight for him, so expect to see characters like Goofy, Pluto and Oswald pop up every now and then!” 


A CHARMED LIFE…
“Minnie is a lot of fun, too,” reveals MichaelScheider. “She can throw her purse around and it comes back to her, just like a boomerang! Minnie can charm her enemies into doing her fighting for her, so they will turn on each other and leave her out of harm’s way.”

EXPANDING THE UNIVERSE…
Want more fun? You got it! There are two terrific Toy Box Expansion Games for Disney Infinity 3.0. “The first is Toy Box Speedway,” reveals Mat Solie. “Toy Box Speedway is a kart-racing game with different modes of play. The second is Toy Box Takeover, an action-adventure game that features multiplayer gameplay allowing players to use all of their favorite Disney, Star Wars™, Marvel, and Disney•Pixar characters. It’s a lot of fun!”

DISC DELIGHTS…
There are also two exclusive Star Wars Power Disc Packs to add to the adventure. In the Star Wars Twilight Of The Republic Power Disc Pack, you will find General Grievous’ bike, two new terrains and the ability to team up with Mace Windu. In the Star Wars Rise Against The Empire Power Disc Pack, you will find a Y-Wing Fighter, as well as Bobba Fett’s Slave I ship. You’ll also nab cool disguises for Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Whoop!

Cheers!!!

#StarWars Rise Against the Empire Play Set - #DisneyInfinity 3.0 #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

Disney Interactive released new information and assets for Star Wars™ Rise Against the Empire, one of three Star Wars Play Sets to be released for Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits this year. Developed by Studio Gobo, in partnership with Avalanche Software, the game takes iconic moments inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy, Episodes IV-VI.

Star Wars Rise Against the Empire will take players on galaxy-spanning missions with legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker, Rebel leader Princess Leia Organa, heroic smuggler Han Solo and his trusty co-pilot Chewbacca to help defeat Darth Vader and overthrow the evil Galactic Empire.

Non-stop, action-packed adventure awaits players as they explore open world planets like Tatooine on foot or on a Bantha, take down AT-AT walkers aboard a snowspeeder on Hoth, out-maneuver stormtroopers on a speeder bike on Endor, and partake in epic space battles in an X-wing starfighter to destroy the Death Star.                   
The Star Wars Rise Against the Empire Play Set includes Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa figures. Han Solo, Chewbacca and Darth Vader will be available and sold separately. Disney's Rise Against the Empire for  Disney Infinity 3.0 Play Without Limits launches in SA on 16 Oct 2015 and is set during the original Star Wars trilogy.

London Streets got #StarWars #DisneyInfinityUK Experience @Disney_UK

Hi Guys,

London commuters were unexpectedly immersed in an epic piece of 3D artwork underneath Southwark Bridge, to mark the launch of the new Rise Against the Empire Play Set for Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits. 

The artwork, created by world-renowned artists 3D Joe and Max, is a re-creation of the iconic Death Star trench run from Star Wars: A New Hope, and is featured in the Rise Against the Empire Play Set out which features iconic moments from the original Star Wars trilogy. 

Located a few minutes’ walk from London Bridge Station and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on Bankside, the artwork stretches 15 metres along the walkway underneath Southwark Bridge, complete with sounds effects of ships, laser fire and droids. I still miss this tunnel as I used to work at Red Lion Court building way back in 2010-11 which is just opposite The Anchor bar and pub. 
Disney Infinity 3.0 is the latest installment in the highly successful “toys-to-life” franchise, bringing together characters from across The Walt Disney Company for the ultimate family gaming experience. 

The Star Wars Rise Against the Empire Play Set allows fans to embark on galaxy-spanning missions with legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker, Rebel leader Princess Leia Organa, heroic smuggler Han Solo and his trusty co-pilot Chewbacca to help defeat Darth Vader and overthrow the evil Galactic Empire. Featuring non-stop action, players can explore open world planets like Tatooine on foot or on a Bantha, take down AT-AT walkers aboard a snowspeeder on Hoth, out-maneuver stormtroopers on a speeder bike on Endor, and partake in epic space battles in an X-wing Starfighter to destroy the Death Star.

Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits is rated PEGI 7 and developed by Avalanche Software in partnership with Ninja Theory, Sumo Digital, Studio Gobo and United Front Games. A Disney Infinity 3.0 Play Set based on Star Wars™: The Force Awakens will also be available later this year, as well as additional Star Wars character figures and Power Discs. I am still playing the game and fell in love with Star Wars series as I continue to fight against the evil forces. I just need to buy some more Star Wars characters so that I can reach the end of the game. For additional information, please visit www.disney.com/infinity and www.youtube.com/DisneyUK Join the Disney Infinity Facebook Community (www.facebook.com/disneyinfinity) and follow on Twitter (www.twitter.com/disney_UK).

Available for pre-order now, South African fans will be able to access the Star Wars Digital Movie Collection exclusively on the South Africa iTunes Store via www.itunes.com/starwars.


“Since the debut of the first film nearly 40 years ago, Star Wars has become a worldwide phenomenon with legions of fans from every generation,” said Alan Bergman, President, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s only fitting that audiences enjoy this legendary Saga and its many fascinating behind-the-scenes stories on a wide variety of platforms, and we’re very excited to finally bring all six films to Digital HD for the first time.”

“We’re thrilled that fans will be able to enjoy the Star Wars Saga on their digital devices wherever they go,” commented Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. “These films broke new ground in technology, design, sound, and visual effects, and we’ve created some very special bonus material which delves into the Saga’s rich history, including new and never-before-released conversations between legendary Star Wars artists – the masters who helped George bring his iconic universe to life.”

With Star Wars: Episodes I-VI available for purchase as a complete digital movie collection and individually, viewers will have the Rebel forces at their beck and call across their favorite devices anywhere – sunbathing at the beach, relaxing in their living room with friends, or waiting to board a flight to Endor (or elsewhere).


Enhancing the movie collection are a host of never-before-seen special features including Star Wars: Discoveries from Inside and insightful Conversations between key contributors from across this celebrated film franchise, plus a curated collection of classic Star Wars extras from each film. These are the droids you’re looking for:
