Disney Infinity sequel made official
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Chairman and CEO of Disney Interactive Bob Iger, speaking during an investor call, officially confirmed a sequel for Disney Infinity.
He said:
“On the interactive front there will be new iterations of Infinity. What that game prove to us is the strength of that platform – basically the game-play itself which was great, and the fact that Disney characters, Disney intellectual property could work on that platform, so that’s a big deal. So what’s next of course is, new iterations of that, a 2.0 or 3.0 and mining a broader set of our more popular characters.
Iger wasn’t inclined to reveal any specific details as to what’s in store for Disney Infinity’s sequel. Guess we’ll have to wait for an official announcement!

Job listing points to Disney Infinity sequel
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
While it shouldn’t be the least bit surprising, Disney Interactive and Avalanche Software appear to be working on a Disney Infinity sequel.
One job listing spotted on the Disney Careers website seeks game testers for an Avalanche title. The post specifically requests those who have “familiarity with Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Wii U”.
CVG points out that the job listing would likely refer to a brand new game as opposed to additional content for Disney Infinity. And it goes without saying that Disney Interactive would like to capitalize on the strong success of the first entry, and move forward with a sequel.

Disney Infinity executive producer John Vignocchi has tweeted about wanting to see Captain EO supported in the game.
Vignocchi wrote on Twitter yesterday:
Before I die, we will incorporate Captain E/O into @DisneyInfinity!
— John Vignocchi (@JohnVignocchi) January 8, 2014
Vignocchi is, of course, referring to the 1980s film featuring Michael Jackson. Disney theme parks showcased the science fiction movie through the 1990s, and the attraction returned in 2010 following Jackson’s passing.
