Disney Interactive has been going through some major changes as it looks to put greater emphasis on mobile and social games and less focus on AAA console titles. Unfortunately, that's meant a sizable number of layoffs within the group, but the numbers that have been reported this week are apparently exaggerated.
Disney interactive outlined their timeline for ending online service to Disney Infinity.
“Play without limits,” until March of 2017.
Disney Interactive has announced that Captain America will be appearing in new versions of their mobile games and will cross various games and platforms in doing so.
So he'll cross many lines except into the console field? We could use another Captain America game.
Also I thought Disney Interactive was dismantled.
Doesnt look that way as this was sent directly from them. I believe they are still around but much of the production is going to be done by licensing agreement with outside developers.
More miffed about the shield change than the whole Hydra deal.
"We could use another Captain America game."
Need to be more superhero games period rather than COD clones.
Gamers of the Lost Spark: Sad news hit this week regarding Disney pulling the plug on not only their ‘Toys to Life’ development but also closing down their gaming division completely resulting in the loss of approximately 300 jobs. Is this move simply a reaction by Disney to a recent financial shortfall or could the decision have been contributed to by Disney making the decision that creating games is just no longer a profitable path? Shocking news from an entertainment behemoth like this one.
The Sparks discuss this news and speculate as to whether Disney Infinity reaching its zenith could be an early indicator of a decrease in interest across the board of the Toys to Life market, signifying the decline of Skylanders and even Lego Dimensions. Or is this just an isolated move contained within entertainment powerhouse Disney as a damage control measure, in light of the company missing its financial goals for the year that caused their stock to fall 6 percent?
