D23 2015: Disney Interactive ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ for Infinity And More

Disney Interactive’s presentation at the D23 Expo 2015 was filled with great Disney gaming news. At one point the presentation focused on Star Wars.

Disney Infinity  

It was already previously announced that Star Wars was going to a be a big part of 3.0 of Infinity but the big surprise came when cast members of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ come out during the presentations to introduce their Infinity characters.

Co-stars John Boyega and Daisy Ridley gave away their character figures, Finn and Rey, for the upcoming Play Set based on the film.

In addition, select “Star Wars” figures for Disney Infinity were shown off to have light-up light sabers that light up when placed onto the Disney Infinity Base. Figures include Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Kanan Jarrus.

Star Wars Battlefront

Concept art was revealed for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game is DLC from ‘The Force Awakens’ called the Battle of Jakku that was previously announced during Star Wars Celebration. It will be free to download.

If pre-ordered, the DLC will be available on Dec. 1. Otherwise, gamers will have to wait until Dec. 8.

The news that had me stoked and mad at the same time was the announcement of a limited edition Darth Vader-inspired Battlefront Playstation 4. I was a PS4 hold out until last year when the all white Destiny edition was released. Now i wish i knew this was coming out because this edition is a whole lot sweeter looking.

It will be available in two separate bundles, one for Battlefront and one for Disney Infinity 3.0. to sweeten the deal even more it was also announced that both bundles would come  a digital voucher to download four classic ‘Star Wars’ titles – Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter and Star Wars Bounty Hunter – playable for the first time on PS4, with enhanced graphics and Trophy support.
