The partnership began when Disney Infinity’s VP of production at Disney Interactive John Vignocchi ran into Sumo’s Sean Millard at GDC and professed his appreciation for Sonic & Sega All-Stars racing. It’s a studio with a varied collection of releases, but controlling cars is quickly becoming its specialty. Most recently, the studio developed LittleBigPlanet 3, but before that it crafted the well-received Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and its sequel Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed as well as the last-gen version of Forza Horizon 2. Sumo has a history with the racing genre, and has specifically seen success in the kart-racing sub-genre. In order to craft this full, separate experience, Avalanche enlisted the help of Sumo Digital. If you want to place Han Solo in the Disney World teacup-ride vehicle and fire off missiles at Thor as he speeds by in The Incredibles’ Incredicar on Wreck-it Ralph’s Sugar Rush track, this will be a destination for you.Ībove: Watch split-screen gameplay footage of Yoda vs. Speedway is a racing-focused Toy Box game that seeks to offer as much kart-racing action as your typical Mario Kart, but with Disney Infinity’s deep roster of characters, vehicles, and tracks. Whether you were using the cars to get from point A to point B quickly, jumping off gigantic ramps, or doing some racing, you and your favorite Disney and Pixar and later Marvel character spent significant time behind the wheel – and Avalanche wanted it to be better. Look out for more information on the other planned Toy Box game for Disney Infinity 3.0, a dungeon-crawler hack-n-slash called Toy Box Takeover, soon.ĭriving has been an important part of Disney Infinity from the beginning. They will both be sold as separate discs, but you will need a 3.0 starter set in order to play. Neither Speedway nor Toy Box Takeover is something the average player would be able to create with Disney Infinity’s creation tools, and they will be available separately from the main game. For 3.0, Avalanche and its team of contracted developers are taking the Toy Box games a step further and stretching the engine beyond what’s available to the average player in the interest of creating a refined experience. Past Toy Box games were built entirely using the in-game creation tools and included Thor’s Assault on Asgard and Guardians of the Galaxy’s Escape from the Kyln, which were tower-defense and dungeon-crawler style games respectively.


The Toy Box game sets represent genre-specific alternate experiences for Disney Infinity.
