Disney has revealed that the fourth playset available for the upcoming Disney Infinity will be based on the movie Cars.
Characters from the movie that are confirmed to be part of the set are Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holley Shiftwell and Francesco Bernoulli.
Buying the newly announced group of toys will introduce players to the world of Radiator Springs, where you’ll be able to race, perform tricks in a stunt park, and customise the town. It’ll also allow you to add the Cars cast to your Toy Box where they can interact with characters from the other sets, as well as unlock tools to the Play Set that’ll enable you to create your own tracks.
The other three sets previously announced are based on The Incredibles, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean. While we know the game is due out June 18, there’s still no word on how much the toys will cost. Our advice? Start saving now.
After much speculation, Disney Infinity was fully unveiled for 360, PS3, Wii, WiiU, 3DS, PC and Mobile at a event in Hollywood today hosted by John Lasseter and John Pleasants, Chief Creative Office and Co-President at Disney respectively. It is scheduled to arrive this summer.
The game will, as reports had suggested, build on the play mechanics of Avalanche Software’s Toy Story 3: The Video Game that offered both a campaign and Toy Box game-maker modes.
More surprising is the inclusion of a comprehensive set of 30+ Disney Infinity toy figures. These characters, which unusually span different Disney franchises, work in a similar way to Skylanders figures. Place them on the Infinity Base USB peripheral, Disney’s very own Portal of Power, and they provide instant access to characters in the game.
