DISNEY INFINITY 2.0: MARVEL SUPER HEROES

Publisher Disney Interactive Developer Avalanche Software Format 360, iOS, PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox One Origin US Release 2014

Skylanders has had a good innings, but Activision’s purple dragon looks like he’s about to get Hulk smashed. Disney Infinity 2.0 delivers 20 of the best-known heroes in history, storylines penned by award-winning Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis, an overhauled Toy Box mode and, crucially, backward compatibility with the first game’s figures and power discs. It’s coming to iOS, too, and if it should all go horribly wrong then Disney also has Star Wars in its pocket.
