Disney Interactive has confirmed Disney Infinity 3.0 (or “the Stars Wars one”) will hit store shelves next month, arriving in the UK on August 28th. Surprisingly, that’s two whole days before its North American street date.

Whether a returning fan or completely new to the series, the Starter Pack will provide everything you need to get stuck in. For £50 you’ll net the bare essentials, including two Star Wars themed characters (Anakin and Ahsoka), as well as the game software, and of course, the Infinity Base peripheral along with other extras.
To sweeten the deal, Disney Interactive will also chuck in free access to the Toy Box Takeover expansion for anyone pre-ordering the game. Set to launch later this year for roughly £15, this game piece will unlock a string of new missions and story content that combines characters and worlds from Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars.
Elsewhere on the release schedule are “Play Sets” for both Stars Wars Twilight of the Republic and Disney Pixar’s Inside Out. As in previous years, these sets will include two characters as well as a game piece (slotted into the Infinity Base) that will unlock a new world chocked with missions and unlockables.
Of course, there will also be a string of individual figures up for grabs too. At launch, Star Wars fans can get their mitts on both Obi-Wan and Yoda as well as Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Zeb Orrelios (from the Rebels TV show).

Meanwhile Sadness, Disgust and Fear will accompany the Inside Out Play Set along with other Disney characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Olaf, Sam Flynn and Quorra.
If all of these individual components weren’t enough, additional products will also be rolled out in the coming year. These include Play Sets for both the original Star Wars trilogy as well as The Force Awakens, throwing an entire cast of characters into the Disney Infinity roster.
What’s even more interesting, at least for some of us, is the upcoming Toy Box Speedway game piece. This future slice of content will give players access to a fully-fledged kart racer within Infinity’s crossover universe. Players will be able to choose from a variety of characters and vehicles to duke it out over nine themed courses.
