At the Disney Interactive video game panel at D23, it was teased that new Disney Originals would be revealed for Disney Infinity 3.0. Making good on their promise, it was revealed that characters from two upcoming films, The Good Dinosaur and Zootopia, would get the Toys To Life treatment. In addition, Peter Pan will also arrive next year as the “Toy Box Artists Choice”, after winning a vote amongst the participants of the latest Toybox Summit, consisting of players from across the country who have built some of the best stages in the game’s Toy Box mode.
All of these figures are set to be compatible with the Toy Box mode, (most likely meaning they won’t have a campaign, or “Play Set” of their own,) with both The Good Dinosaur and Zootopia getting their own Power Disc packs. While Spot from Pixar’s upcoming film was the only character confirmed thus far, it’s safe to say that we’ll be getting a few more from both films, especially Nick Wilde from the latter flick.
While these additions are welcomed, I’m especially thrilled that Peter is finally out. Getting Tinkerbell before him is strange as it is, but considering that there will be two Mickey’s a Minnie and a Donald with no Goofy, or Phineas and Perry releasing two years ago with no Ferb in sight, it wasn’t the first time that important characters were missing. Still, it’s not too late! Chances are they’ll arrive sooner or later. Right?
Disney Infinity 3.0 is arriving on August 28th with more content rolling out throughout next year.
