Two more characters have joined the fray for Disney Infinity 2.0, and they were officially announced by Disney Interactive on May 30, 2014. Maleficent and Merida were introduced to the playable world and are set to hit stores this fall.
Both Maleficent and Merida join the flux of new characters coming to Disney Infinity as The Avengers were already named a few weeks ago.
Merida, from Pixar’s “Brave,” looks spot on. Maleficent obviously represents the Angelina Jolie-version of the character rather than the animated version.
Check out the video released by Disney Interactive to showcase the playable actions of both.
Merida: With her untamed fiery red locks, this headstrong Princess will definitely leave her mark in Disney Infinity. Between her sharp sword and bow combo attacks with ricocheting arrows, she can upgrade her aim with elemental freeze arrows, freezing enemies in front of her then following up with rapid shots showing off her impressive athletic skills as an archer and sword fighter.
Maleficent: The wicked title character from the upcoming Walt Disney Studios film employs numerous magical powers and can attack using her magic in melee and ranged combat. To defeat enemies, Maleficent has the ability to utilize projectile and area of effect attacks that affect multiple targets within a specified area, brambles that she summons from the ground and ravens that she can call on to attack targets.
