Disney shutting down Infinity video game
Bad news for gamers: Disney is shutting down their Infinity
online video game, which includes games featuring Star Wars, Marvel and core Disney movie characters. They not
only are shutting down Infinity, they are ending all console game
development PERIOD. You can read exactly what Disney announced on their website 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.(John Blackburn, SVP and GM, Disney Infinity)
The announcement will likely disappoint gamers who made a huge investment in the game and the figures, and we’ll let you know of any developments on the future of Infinity.
