Disney jumped on the Skylanders bandwagon with their own collectible toy game some years back. While I’m not a fan of the ‘buy more toys’ aspect of these games Disney had a distinct advantage by having collectibles that stood on their own.
I own a number of Disney Infinity figures yet have only played the game a handful of times. To be perfectly honest, the game is pretty weak for those looking for a traditional gaming experience, or even something like a LEGO style sandbox. Still, the design team did lots of beautiful work with the figures so it’ll be sad to see the toys disappear.
You can read the official statement from Disney below:
“By now you may have heard the news that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue production of Disney Infinity. From the beginning, Disney Infinity was built for you—our fans—and I wanted to take a moment to thank you not just for your support over the years, but for creating a community that made Disney Infinity more than just a game.
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.
So what’s next for Disney Infinity? We have two final retail releases coming, including three new characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass later this month, and the Finding Dory Play Set launching in June.
And as we turn to the next chapter in our story, I want to thank everyone who helped bring Disney Infinity to life, particularly Disney’s Glendale-based production and publishing teams, our external development partners, and of course the incredible Avalanche team for their tireless dedication to this project.
But most of all, I want to again thank you for making Disney Infinity a part of your lives—and for adding to the Disney legacy by being a part of this community.”
If this means anything, it means that the figures are going to skyrocket on eBay soon, because, well, assholes. Thanks for all the fun times Disney Infinity!
