Disney Infinity 3.0 Inside Out Play Set Gameplay

At a recent behind closed doors event with Disney, we got to see, and play some of the new Disney Infinity 3.0 game.

In this video we show off some of the new Pixar’s Inside Out Play Set captured from the PS4 version of the game.

InsideOut_Playset_AngerGroup

Based on Disney Pixar’s much anticipated film Inside Out releasing in the UK on 24 June, the Inside Out Play Set takes place in Riley’s mind after she inadvertently catches a glimpse of a scary movie as she is falling asleep.  Her Emotions — Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness  — rally together to calm the turmoil that has overtaken Imagination Land as a result of Riley seeing the movie.  Broccoli, pie cannons, bats and even swamp creatures are running rampant through Riley’s mind. As single-player or two-player co-op, players must help Riley’s Emotions journey through Imagination Land, work together using each character’s unique skills to defeat enemies, gather Riley’s displaced memories, and return them to the Long Term with the help of Mind Workers before Riley awakens.
