The heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe for Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in stores across the UK now.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes builds on what worked best about the first installment and is bigger and better in every way. Play set adventures including The Avengers will feature story-driven gameplay, iconic Marvel locations, amped up combat, more destruction, and many gadgets and vehicles. Of interest to Marvel fans is that Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis has crafted original stories for the Play Sets.

How do you get started? The Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack features the Disney Infinity 2.0 Video Game software, the Disney Infinity Base, Marvel’s The Avengers Play Set, three Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes figures (Iron Man, Black Widow and Thor), two Toy Box Game Discs, a web code card and the all-new 2.0 Toy Box.

You can add new stories and worlds with Marvel’s Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy Play sets, along with additional Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes figures from those worlds, additional Play sets and figures sold separately Each new character brings a variety of super-powered and unique gameplay mechanics such as flying, web slinging, wall crawling, wall smashing and more.

 
PlayStation owners can get exclusive early access to the Hulk figure and a spectacular light up display unit. The exclusive PlayStation Collector’s Edition comes with the Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack, all Avengers figures and the Frost Beast Collector’s Edition display – plus Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 Video Game software, the Disney Infinity Base, Marvel’s The Avengers Play Set, two Toy Box Game Discs, a web code card and the all-new 2.0 Toy Box.

More than 20 Marvel Figures from across the Marvel Universe will be joining the game including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, and Hulk. Some of the most popular Disney Infinity figures to date have been The Incredibles, who each have a unique power. Now you’re going to have an entire cast of super-powered Marvel characters with abilities that you can level up through skill trees.

The 2.0 Toy Box is getting major enhancements too. Before we dive into that, let’s get this out of the way: yes, Disney Infinity is forwards compatible! The Disney Infinity Figures and Power Discs you’ve already collected can be brought into the 2.0 Toy Box.

Competitive structured gameplay across franchises was a huge community request, and we’re so psyched to make it happen. With Toy Box Game Discs, you’ll get to play Tower Defence and Dungeon Crawler games with any character you have on hand. These are about three to four hours in length.

 
We also heard from players and saw first-hand that building in the Toy Box could be simplified, so we’ve made it more intuitive with the Creator tool. This mode uses procedural generation so you’re able to easily craft uniquely elaborate cityscapes and complex racetracks, and then of course you have the option to go in and tweak them.

Additionally, the “INteriors” feature opens up new possibilities by allowing you to go inside buildings and completely customise the spaces.

We’ve really been blown away by the power and creativity of the community in terms of what’s been created in the Toy Box. With all of these upgrades to the 2.0 Toy Box, there’s no doubt that the creations are going to go from awesome to unbelievable with the availability of new Toy Boxes including those created by the Avalanche Software Community Team. These super-fans turned level designers will be designing immersive, themed Toy Boxes and episodic content for Disney Infinity players to download for free at launch and beyond. Also available at launch will be select Toy Boxes designed by Toy Box Artists from around the world at the inaugural Disney Infinity Toy Box Summit this past August.
