‘Star Wars’ is Coming to ‘Disney Infinity’ Next Year
When Disney Interactive first unveiled their new toys-to-life title Disney Infinity it was abundantly clear that they were setting up for the long haul. Like Infinity‘s closest competitor, Skylanders, Disney wasn’t going to settle on just one game, but they are hoping to build a billion dollar brand.
Part of that requires including properties that aren’t just Disney but Disney-owned. That’s why this year’s entry, Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition), focuses heavily on one of Disney’s more recent and profitable acquisitions.
Building off of that it was a pretty safe bet to assume that Disney Infinity might one day include Star Wars in its toys-to-life experience. Disney had just acquired LucasFilm and although they had given the major game development rights to EA, they still kept a little something for themselves. As a result, most figured that a tie-in between Disney Infinity and Star Wars: Episode 7 was all but a given.
