D23: ‘Kingdom Hearts’ Makes Its Debut In ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’!
At the Disney Interactive video game panel at D23, the team behind the upcoming Disney Infinity 3.0 had some big news. Aside from the official reveal of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens character figures that will launch alongside their own Play Set, the Darth Vader branded PS4, and Big Hero 6 being confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 3, it looks like the ever so patient fans of Square Enix’s crossover epic will get a taste of the power of the Keyblade in the upcoming Star Wars themed Toys To Life game, courtesy of this year’s Ultimate Unlock! But the question must be asked; could this be foreshadowing something more!?
In past versions, the Ultimate Unlock was a reward for buying every figure and leveling them up to at least level 1. Yes, that’s one expensive piece of DLC, (over $400 to give you an idea,) but the team always tried to make it worth it for their most dedicated fans. The first game unlocked a lightsaber, a full two years before Star Wars would get its own game. That left the likes of Mr. Incredible, Jack Sparrow, Anna and Elsa with the power of The Force. The second game awarded players with Luke Skywalker’s speeder, another tease at what would finally arrive in the third game. With Kingdom Hearts being teased between the Ultimate Unlock, and the con exclusive power disc that gives Mickey his king costume from the RPG, it’s safe to assume that a future game could become a full on collectable campaign featuring this universe. Imagine Sora, Riku, Kairi and Aqua getting the figure treatment!? Ugh, my money!
Will this reveal sway you when it comes to letting the addiction take over? Or are you more likely to give 3.0 a chance now that Kingdom Hearts has some representation? Either way, this might be the closest we’ll get to the series for the next 15 years when KH 3 will finally release. Sound off below and have your opinion be heard!
