Disney Announces That They Will Be Discontinuing Disney Infinity

Disney launched their own action-adventure game Disney Infinity back in 2013, but unfortunately it seems that about 3 years later, Disney has announced that they will be discontinuing the game. In addition to the cancellation of the game, Disney also announced that they will be exiting the self-published console game business as well.

According to a post by John Blackburn, the SVP & GM of Disney Infinity, “By now you may have heard the news that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue production of Disney Infinity. From the beginning, Disney Infinity was built for you—our fans—and I wanted to take a moment to thank you not just for your support over the years, but for creating a community that made Disney Infinity more than just a game.”

Blackburn also notes that while the game has been discontinued, they have two final retail releases for the Infinity toy playsets on the way, so gamers will have to bid goodbye to the game for good. “We have two final retail releases coming, including three new characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass later this month, and the Finding Dory Play Set launching in June.”

We suppose we should have seen this coming. Last month Disney confirmed that Disney Infinity 3.0 will no longer be updated on the Apple TV, so we guess the discontinuation was already on its way. So, who else is going to miss the series?
