Star Wars-Themed Infinity 3.0 Bundle Coming to Apple TV
Disney is giving Star Wars fan a new way to play its Infinity 3.0 Edition game this holiday season.
The company on Wednesday launched a Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack bundle for the new Apple TV.
The $100 Star Wars-themed bundle, which includes a SteelSeries Nimbus
Wireless Controller and a Bluetooth-enabled Disney Infinity Base, is now
available at Apple retail stores nationwide.
"Apple TV represents an incredible opportunity for us to bring Disney
Infinity to a new audience of players who may not have a game console
in their household," John Blackburn, senior vice president and general
manager of Disney Infinity, said in a statement.
"We're offering the complete Disney Infinity 3.0 experience on this
device, optimized for Apple TV, and we're already planning new Disney
Infinity experiences for the App Store."
All the figures and Power Discs from the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of the game are compatible with the new Apple TV.
Besides the controller and base, the bundle comes with a Star Wars:
Twilight of the Republic Play Set piece, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka
Tano figures, and a Web code card for mobile and PC devices. Additional
Play Sets, figures, and Power Discs are sold separately.
For the uninitiated, Disney Infinity is "basically a digital
playground where characters from various different movies come together
to fight, jump, race, and bonk bad guys across familiar locales and
stories," PCMag's Timothy Torres said in his July preview
of version 3.0. With the new Star Wars characters, Torres said the 3.0
Edition is likely "the best version of the lucrative toys-to-life
franchise yet."
