Disney Infinity isn’t being entirely made by Avalanche Software. There’s at least one other studio assisting on the project as well.

On Facebook, Studio Gobo posted a message confirming its involvement with the project. Gobo has been assigned to handle the Pirates of the Caribbean playset.

The notice in full:

“If you see any boats or pirates — that’s the bit that we are working on at Gobo. We’re responsible for the Pirates of the Caribbean playset in Disney Infinity. Very proud.”

Could Gobo be working on other playsets along with Pirates? And might there be other studios developing Disney Infinity?

An official statement from Harmonix states that “there is no content currently scheduled beyond April 2nd”. Over the next few weeks, players can look forward to “the remaining tracks from RB Blitz, several Pro guitar upgrades, and a handful of artists who have not yet appeared in Rock Band.”

You can find Harmonix’s comments in full below.

Companies Confirm Plan to Release Angry Birds Trilogy on Wii U™ This Year

Minneapolis, MN – February 15, 2013 – Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), and Rovio Entertainment today announced that Angry Birds™ Trilogy has soared past one million units sold worldwide. Released in September 2012 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft with Kinect™ for Xbox 360 compatibility, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with full PlayStation®Move support, and the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, Angry Birds Trilogy won fans over by combining Rovio’s three legendary mobile titles, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio, along with new content, levels and features. Building on this success, Activision and Rovio will release Angry Birds Trilogy for Nintendo’s Wii™ and Wii U™ systems in 2013.

“Angry Birds’ proven formula for fun and addicting gameplay translated perfectly to the big screen, and the consumer response has been overwhelming,” said Jennifer Mirabelli, VP of Sales and Marketing for Activision Publishing, Inc.

“It was certainly satisfying to see Angry Birds gameplay adapt so well to other platforms in 2012,” said Petri Järvilehto, EVP of Games for Rovio. “The features specific to the Wii U are very intriguing to us, so we’re excited to release this version to fans.”

Completely recreated in striking HD with refined controls, gamers can play Angry Birds Trilogy with all-new animations and interactive backgrounds through 700+ levels with more than 150 hours of addictive gameplay. Angry Birds Trilogy: Anger Management, the recently released DLC pack, features even more content with 130 fan-favorite puzzles like Wreck the Halls and Birdday Party.
