Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits
Star Wars™ Rise Against the Empire Play Set
Game Spans Iconic Destinations From Classic Star Wars Trilogy, Takes Open World Exploration and Space Combat to New Heights with Overhauled Vehicle Mechanics
LONDON, United Kingdom – (5 June, 2015) – Disney Interactive today released new information and assets for Star Wars™ Rise Against the Empire, one of three Star Wars Play Sets to be released for Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits this year. Developed by Studio Gobo, in partnership with Avalanche Software, the game takes iconic moments inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy, Episodes IV-VI.
Star Wars Rise Against the Empire will take players on galaxy-spanning missions with legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker, Rebel leader Princess Leia Organa, heroic smuggler Han Solo and his trusty co-pilot Chewbacca to help defeat Darth Vader and overthrow the evil Galactic Empire.
Non-stop, action-packed adventure awaits players as they explore open world planets like Tatooine on foot or on a Bantha, take down AT-AT walkers aboard a snowspeeder on Hoth, out-maneuver stormtroopers on a speeder bike on Endor, and partake in epic space battles in an X-wing starfighter to destroy the Death Star.
The Star Wars Rise Against the Empire Play Set includes Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa figures. Han Solo, Chewbacca and Darth Vader will be available and sold separately.
Two additional Star Wars Play Sets will be available for Disney Infinity 3.0 this holiday, including Star Wars™ Twilight of the Republic and Star Wars™ The Force Awakens. In addition, players will be able to unlock the ability for all Star Wars characters to play inside all of the Star Wars Play Sets, as well as in the newly enhanced Toy Box, along with all characters previously released for Disney Infinity.
The Star Wars™ Twilight of the Republic Play Set is included in the Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack available this autumn, which also includes the Disney Infinity 3.0 Base, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker character figures, and a web code card that unlocks content for PC and mobile devices.
A Play Set based on Disney•Pixar’s upcoming film Inside Out and a Marvel Play Set featuring Hulkbuster, Ultron, and other Marvel characters will also be available. Additional Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition figures and Play Sets will be announced in the coming months.
What do you think of this play set?
Interesting phrasing:
“one of three Star Wars Play Sets to be released for Disney Infinity 3.0: Play Without Limits THIS YEAR”
“Two additional Star Wars Play Sets will be available for Disney Infinity 3.0 THIS HOLIDAY”
Seems to leave the door a bit more open about whether there will be a fourth Star Wars playset in 2016.
Do you have the Hi-Res photos of Luke at the foot of an AT-AT (1:59) and the Snowspeeders flying in from left of screen (1:36) in the video? I’ve seen those shots elsewhere “gameinformer.com” but only your article post is allowing me to click the image and get the larger version. If you have those two images could you add them to this article?
