14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that the team in charge of Disney Infinity is getting close to the moment when it needs to make an official announcement about a new version of the game, and the company is unhappy that info about it has already been leaked and is being dissected by fans.
The official fan forum has a long discussion about the version 3.0 of the title, which was initially spotted on a Chinese website.
Apparently, there are 11 new characters being added to the game, including fan favorites from Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Inside Out, and some secondary ones from Frozen.
Disney has been seeking to restrict access to the leak but has not offered a clear statement on the information that is available about Disney Infinity 3.0.
Some fans believe that an official announcement might be delivered before the end of summer and that the new characters will be added in time for the Christmas shopping season.
Others believe that the new figurines seem different from those already launched and are theorizing that Disney might be aiming to suppress outdated information about Disney Infinity 3.0.
The leaked info will probably continue to spread on the Internet, and the company will have to issue an actual response about the future of the game.
Disney Infinity is facing tough competition
Disney Infinity arrives as a reaction to the impressive success of the Skylanders franchise from Activision.
The creators have managed to leverage movie content very well and the second wave of figurines, which included the members of The Avengers, were very successful.
This means that it makes sense to deliver a 3.0 version in time for Christmas 2015, although the final line-up will be different from that mentioned in the leak.
This year, Warner Bros. is aiming to launch its initiative in the same genre, LEGO Dimensions, which will use the worlds and concepts that have already been successful in the real world.
Nintendo has also managed to generate a lot of business with its line of Amibo figurines and is constantly delivering new versions associated with incoming games in order to keep interest up among collectors.
