Disney Infinity has been announced, its reveal having previously been confirmed for an event held in Hollywood today.
Players are granted the freedom to embark on their own original adventures with much beloved characters from The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Animation Studios, exploring their favourite Disney and Pixar worlds.
Players can bring character figures to life in a virtual “Toy Box,” in which you will navigate through story-driven experiences each called a “Play Set.”
