Marvel characters coming to Disney Infinity is an exciting concept. We've seen the Avengers playset along with the Ultimate Spider-Man line. That's not all we're going to get. Disney Interactive has announced that Guardians of the Galaxy are joining in on the fun as well.
Star-Lord will have melee combat, dual pistols, and a super-jump. Drax has his two daggers, excels at up close melee fighting, and is a wall-crawler courtesy of his daggers. Groot's limbs can extend which allows long range attacks. Gamora has her sword and will have a strong super-move. Rocket Raccoon has dual pistols, upgradable weapons and a super-move.
We were also told that more Marvel figures were coming.
Marvel’s next summer blockbuster film is coming to Disney Infinity. Today, Disney Interactive officially announced the latest Play Set for Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition) –Guardians of the Galaxy, inspired by the upcoming film Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, in theaters August 1.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set follows Star-Lord and his fellow Guardians as they arrive at Knowhere, having just stolen a powerful cosmic object from the villainous Ronan the Accuser.
