Inspired by Marvel Battlegrounds from Disney Infinity 3.0 and meticulously designed by Disney Interactive, this collectible brings Marvel magic home for fans of all ages..

Additionally, the set will be fully compatible with previously released Marvel Infinity figures that were released for Infinity 2.0 making this the biggest Infinity Play Set to date. The older figures will gain adapted abilities and skills within the Play Set to better adapt to the new gameplay.

The most notable feature is the ability to play with four characters — a first for any Infinity Play Set.

“With Disney Infinity 3.0, we’ve aimed to provide a wider variety of gameplay than ever before, and the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set represents our commitment to developing something entirely new for our players,” said John Blackburn, SVP & GM of Disney Infinity. “The four-player arena style combat gameplay is a perfect way for friends and families to come together and play in head-to-head battles with some of their favorite Marvel characters.”
