Disney Infinity is, of course, a Disney product. But with the company’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, that means Star Wars could technically be included in the upcoming video games.
Disney’s Bill Roper isn’t ready to jump on the Star Wars bandwagon just yet. While Disney’s new ownership of the property is exciting and brings new possibilities, “we’re really just focused on launching this platform quickly.”
“That was definitely exciting when that [news of the acquisition] came down from within the company. We love the potential for Infinity – we always joke, well, ‘the possibilities are infinite’. For us, we’re really just focused on launching this platform quickly. We’ve got incredible IPs, and we’re showing the strength of what we’re building with the way we’ve approached the creative, where everything in the game world is toys, so we can have a Jack Sparrow next to Sulley [from Monsters] and it makes sense.”
The Little Battlers Wars will be released b Level-5 in Japan later this year, and today we’ve learned a bit more about the various platoons (and the characters within them) that will be in this game. Details here, with images of the characters linked from their names:
Second Platoon
– Captain Gendo Isogai is a calm character who doesn’t speak much
– Excellent leader, well-trusted
– Isogai’s butler, Renjirou Ayabe, is always by his side
– Taiga Hamasaki and Seiryu Kishikawa are the players of the Second Platoon
– Rinko Namina is the platoon’s mechanic
– Capcom Financial Q&A Response
Of course they can’t talk about what those titles were, but the speculation about what games we may have seen in future years is probably already rampant across the internet. Capcom says they’ll still be developing console games as a core part of their business, but there will be a bigger focus on DLC going forward compared to years past.
Field Combat will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on May 1 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
The next Call of Duty won’t be another Modern Warfare or Black Ops, it seems. Retailer leaks have apparently revealed a completely new title called “Call of Duty: Ghosts”.
First, UK retailer Tesco Direct has posted boxarts of the supposed PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions:
There’s also a Target ad that mentions Call of Duty: Ghosts:
Activision may very well be planning a Call of Duty reveal for the near future. The company will likely have something to show on television during the NBA Playoffs.
One caveat is that there has been no mention of Ghosts for Wii U as of yet. But surely Activision will have no excuse not to bring the game to the console… unless they were extremely disappointed with Black Ops II’s sales.
