New play sets and battle styles are coming this spring.

Disney held the first Disney Infinity NEXT presentation today to provide updates for their current 3.0 line. Addressing fan concerns on the lifespan of starter sets, Disney ensured 3.0 would continue through the year with new figures and four new play sets, one for each of the core Disney sectors: Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar.

The presentation included the reveal of the Marvel Battlegrounds play set which includes figures for a new Captain America, Black Panther, Ant-Man and Vision. The set is timed for release with Captain America: Civil War, but follows a new story line as Loki and Ulton attempt to destroy the Avengers with robotic doppelgangers.

The play set allows gamers to have four person local multiplayer fights for the first time, utilizing 2.0 Marvel figures with revisited stats to create more balanced and challenging fights. There will be eight arenas to battle in over the course of the story including the Avengers Training Facility, New York train yards, Wakandan Mines, S.H.I.E.L.D. Lunar Outpost, Middle of Nowhere and a culminating battle against a giant Ultron. Arenas will change over the course of the battle, taking on damage and even switching to new sections as floors fall out.

The play set will be released this spring alongside three new characters: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia, and Baloo from the original Jungle Book. Judy will focus on quick but powerful moves, with agile kicks and a tranquilizer gun to stun enemies. Nick is the first melee character with a combat helper. He will use a giant popsicle for attacks and call in his friend Finnick, a fennec fox dressed as an elephant. Baloo is a comedic character that attacks in multiple ways with a palm tree, fruit, his belly and butt, while also dancing and shadow boxing for fun.

Later in the year, Star Wars figures for the upcoming Rogue One film will release and Disney hinted at Finding Dory and Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass announcements for their next video update.

The new figures and sets will take the place of a Disney Infinity 4 release this year. Disney Infinity 3.0 released last August and helped the series remain the top toys to life game for the second year in a row.

How does one achieve 4-player local multiplayer with a figure base that only supports two characters? Is a new Infinity base being created, or will you just plug two of them into your console? (Which might make sense for those of us who own two or three different starter sets...)

That's a good question.  My guess is you put two characters on and then once registered, it will allow you to put two more characters on and then you fight a timed battle a la Smash Bros.
