“There are similarities [to Skylanders], in that we have figures, but the similarities stop there. Infinity is intended to be a platform for all things Disney. The playsets inside of Infinity are new and original stories. They are open-world games.”

“And then of course the Toy Box mode is more Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet. It’s something totally different where we allow kids to use their imagination and take our brands to build whatever they want.”

– Disney Interative executive producer John Vignocchi


This is the first I’m hearing about a “Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet” mode, which actually sounds like it could be extremely neat, especially for younger kids. Regarding the similarities to Skylanders, I believe Vignocchi. It doesn’t seem like the two will be especially comparable in terms of gameplay, though I suppose that doesn’t overturn the fact that Disney only made this game because of Skylanders‘ success. It’s definitely a viable business decision!
