More developer partnerships planned for Disney Infinity
Disney Interactive revealed that Ninja Theory had been brought on as a development partner for Disney Infinity 2.0 at PAX Prime a few weeks ago. However, this is just the start of the company’s collaborations.
Speaking with GameSpot, Disney Infinity executive producer John Vignocchi teased additional partners that will be announced in the future.
He said:
“It’s an interesting collaboration, and one that I don’t think people saw coming. They’re really great at what they do and we’ve designed Infinity to be a platform, not only for players to expand content, but for developers to join and create content based on the amazing catalog of IP we have at Disney.”
“Over time, we’ll be announcing more developers that are joining the platform, but for right now we’re thrilled that [Ninja Theory] is a part of this. It will make sense over time why we’ve chosen these developers to help us. The thing that we cared most about was bringing on developers that would raise our game.”
There is one thing for certain: one of those partners is not Nintendo. Vignocchi noted that “no official discussions have happened, as of yet.”
“Nintendo has presented Amiibo to us and I think they have a very interesting strategy. We’re always interested in talking with partners–whether it’s first-party or independent developers–on ways we can integrate their content inside of the platform. But no official discussions have happened, as of yet.”
