With a roster full of impressive and beloved characters, Disney is the king of child-targeted entertainment, and for good reason. After all, the studio and its peers have worked tirelessly since the 1920s, in an attempt to both establish their brand and deliver quality slash memorable filmmaking that children and their family members can enjoy together. Though some of those releases have dipped in quality as of late, it’s hard to complain about what Walt’s legacy has given this world, as what he started all of those years ago has brought us a wealth of incredible classics. Of course, there are also the fantastic theme parks, which millions enjoy every year.
The toys-to-life genre has died out, but the concept of Disney Infinity should live on in another genre since it provides a wild crossover for fans.
There is a huge gap in the market at the moment. There aren’t many (if any) toys-to-life games available for the two consoles yet. A reboot or remake of the game would work so well, especially with Disney’s current roster of characters, films and TV shows.
Did Disney sell the rights to Activision? I never knew they had the rights to Disney Infinity.
They DO have the rights to Skylanders though.
Plus there's a financial reason every publisher gave up on the "toys to life" thing. So I doubt they'll revive any of them.
Is it possible Disney Infinity or other toys to games could return, but I'll be honest I really hope they don't come back.
These kinds of games are just another way for the game studios to nickle and dime you for every cent you have.
Disney Infinity was a fun game I could play with my kid back in the day. I still have it and the 100+ toys and yes, it works on PS5. But my kid is a teenager now and we've both moved on to more serious games.
Take a look at the rise and fall of Toys-To-Life games and see the magic it brought into everyone's home with games like Skylanders.
