The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Infinity release date has been delayed by two months to August 18 in 🦹North Amer🎐ica and August 20 in Europe.

The home console, handheld and PC game’s launch was originally scheduled to coincide with June’s release of Pixar’s Monsters University.

However, Disney Interactive co-president John Pleasants told the that August provided a more favourable release window, with the company and its retail partners keen to launch closer to the beginning of the holiday season, which kicks off in October. “The dat🔴e became an issue in terms of them asking, ‘Is there a better opportunity here?’” he said.

Pleasants also insisted the delay wasn’t motivated by development issues. “We could deliver in Jun♌e if we wanted to,” he said, but added: “Will a two-month timing c🅰hange help us? Sure, of course. It gives us a little more time to add bells and whistles and make sure it really sings and pops.”

Under pressure to turn a profit from Disney CEO Robert Iger, and having closed Warren Spector’s Junction Point studio and made further 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:layoffs across the unit in January, Disney Interactive has a lot invested in Disney Infinity, an open world sandbox game featuring Disney and Pixar characters which it hopes can rival the success of Activision’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skylanders franchise. Like Skylanders, which has generated over 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:$1 billion in global retail sales in just 15 months, Disney Infinity will utilise near fiel♈d communication technology which enables players to scan collectible fജigures and import virtual versions of them into the game world.

Activision's next franchise instalment, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skylanders: Swap Force, is set for release this fall, and while Pleasants downplayed comparisons between that series and Disney Infinity, he said: “We think it’s good to be first and really lean into the most important selling season of the year.” Get our first look impressions of Disney Infinity in this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Infinity preview.
