Disney Infinity is no more, canned as Disney moves from developing
Disney has landed some devastating news today by announcing the end of the Disney Infinity toys-to-life games. Support for the games will end in June with finished play-sets in the can still to release.
Not only have they canned the games and figures but Disney is moving away from the “self published console business” completely and will move to a licensing model. This means more Disney owned properties developed by third parties like Star Wars Battlefront and Disney Crossy Road.
This also means that Avalanche Software will also be closing, as the studio behind the games and figures over 300 will lose their jobs.
“Our goal for Disney Infinity was to bring the best of Disney storytelling to life in homes around the world, and with your support we accomplished that, We hope you had as much fun playing the game as we had making it.” reads an official message left on the companies blog.
The final Disney Infinity releases will be based around Alice Through The Looking Glass and Finding Dory.
Forever on our shelves, Disney Infinity.
The beginning of the end of the toys to life phase…with Lego Dimensions tanking and Skylanders stalling, it’s probably best to end with a bang! (and let’s face it, they’ve milked that disney backlog dry anyway)
We’ve really enjoyed the Disney Infinity concept. Yeah, some of the play sets were lame, but the toy box/sandbox aspect kept my clan entertained on many a winter’s day: loads of laughs to be had.
The figures look great and will be on our shelves proudly displayed for ages!
Thanks to all the developers involved and I hope you’re able to pick up work somewhere soon.
I can’t belive it no more Disney infundy ever again it’s the end of build ing and creativity
