Disney has lifted the lid on a new video game/toy crossover that is set to challenge Skylanders.
Disney Infinity is a video game that brings together characters from a mix of Disney/Pixar IP, including Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, Lightning McQueen from Cars and many more.
By placing a collectable toy figurine on the Disney Infinity Base accessory, which connects to a games console or mobile device, users will unlock playable characters and areas in the video game.
Disney Infinity launches in June on all consoles and it will arrive on mobile and online throughout 2013.
A countdown timer has appeared on the Disney Infinity website, which means the game and toys should be out on June 1st, 2013.
