The Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set is coming to Disney Infinity 2.0, Disney Interactive revealed today. It will be available this fall.

Here’s a brief overview of the Play Set:

The Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set follows Star-Lord and his fellow Guardians as they arrive at Knowhere, having just stolen a powerful cosmic object from the villainous Ronan the Accuser. Players will guide the team as they race to protect Knowhere from Ronan and his attacking Sakaaran fleet while keeping their newly liberated item safe from the villain’s evil grasp.

Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora and Groot, along with crossover characters Iron Man (from The Avengers Play Set) and Nova (from The Spider-Man Play Set) will be playable. Mission givers include Cosmo, The Collector and Yondu.

Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora and Groot will also be playable in the new Toy box. Developer Avalanche Software is also planning a few structured Toy Box Games, which are as follows:

The Toy Box Game, called Attack on Asgard has Loki opening a series of portals that allow an army of Frost Giants to invade Odin’s Palace at Loki’s command. The Giants threaten to lay waste to Asgard, rob Odin’s Palace and ultimately grant control of the throne to Loki.

Lastly, you’ll be able to purchase several Guardians of the Galaxy themed Power Discs:

Space Armor – Unlock Gamora’s out of this world Space Armor costume for added protection against enemies. Who says fashion can’t be functional too?
Marvel Team-Up: Yondu – Fight alongside this powerful, arrow shooting ally and send enemies running for their lives
Groot’s Roots – Theme out your Toy Box world with Groot’s Roots. It’s sure to grow on you!
Groot’s View – Embrace your inner green thumb and theme Toy Box skies out Groot-style

Amazon has Batman: Arkham Origins on sale for Wii U. The game is available for $14.99 at present.

Technically, this isn’t a massive deal as Origins seems to have dropped to a universal price point of $20. But that’s definitely one of the lower prices we’ve seen, let alone posted about here!
