Today, Disney Interactive shared the first details about the new Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set for Disney Infinity 3.0.

The Play Set will offer a new four-player, arcade brawler style of gameplay plus an original Marvel storyline. All Disney Infinity Marvel characters will be compatible.

Marvel Battlegrounds features Hulkbuster, Ultron and Captain America – The First Avenger, a new version of Captain America with a new pose, costume and enhanced abilities. Characters in the Play Set will make use of udapted abilities and skills to complement the new style of gameplay of Marvel Battlegrounds. We’ll also be hearing about more Marvel Battlegrounds figures “in the coming months.”

Here’s an overview of the plot:

“In the original storyline, Ultron teams up with Loki in an effort to steal Asgard’s immensely powerful Infinity Stone. To accomplish this, Ultron and Loki create robotic replicas of the famed Marvel Super Heroes and turn them against each other in an effort to distract them while they commit their crime. The Marvel Super Heroes duplicates battle each other in iconic environments such as a wrecked Brooklyn train yard, Wakanda and S.H.I.E.L.D’s Lunar Base, culminating in a universe-shaking battle against Ultron.”

Disney Infinity 3.0’s Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set will launch in March 2016. Watch an official trailer below.

Last week, the Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account teased news about the upcoming 3DS game. Famitsu followed through by revealing a couple of new characters. We now know that Skull Kid will be playable, and Phantom Ganon will be appearing as a boss.

The mischievous imp Skull Kid uses an ocarina as his main tool. Famitsu describes him as a demon who stole the hero’s ocarina from a parallel world and then placed the curse of the mask upon him. He may be violent and love pranks, but deep in his heart he treasures his friends. Using the ocarina, he fights alongside fairies.
