Merida and Maleficent in Disney Infinity 2.0

Disney Interactive officially announced the latest playable characters to appear in the 2.0 Edition of Disney Infinity - Merida and Maleficent. 

Merida and Maleficent are playable in the all-new Toy Box 2.0 mode of the game, along with all characters previously released for Disney Infinity.  Players will be able to use both characters, plus hundreds of Disney-themed items, locations, props and vehicles, to create new adventures in customised worlds.

Key highlights include:  

Merida: With her untamed fiery red locks, this headstrong Disney-Pixar Princess will definitely leave her mark in Disney Infinity. Between her sharp sword and bow combo attacks with ricocheting arrows, she can upgrade her aim with elemental freeze arrows, freezing enemies in front of her then following up with rapid shots showing off her impressive athletic skills as an archer and sword fighter.

Maleficent: The wicked title character from the newly released Walt Disney Studios film employs numerous magical powers and can attack using her magic in melee and ranged combat. To defeat enemies, Maleficent has the ability to utilise projectile and area of effect attacks that affect multiple targets within a specified area, brambles that she summons from the ground and ravens that she can call on to attack targets.

Both Merida and Maleficent will be available in retail stores this Spring. Additional Play Sets and characters will be announced in the coming months.

Disney Infinity is an interactive gaming platform where players have unprecedented freedom and endless opportunity to create stories and play experiences starring the beloved characters from across the worlds of Disney. Building on the success of last year's initial launch, Disney Interactive announced that Disney Infinity's next chapter, Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, will hit stores this Spring. In the all new game, players use real-world interactive figures to activate original storylines (Play Sets) in the virtual game worlds of popular Marvel franchises and create new adventures with other Disney Infinity characters in the Toy Box mode.
