"[43] Avalanche developed a demo in October 2013, which featured the Marvel superhero Iron Man flying through a rudimentary city.

[43] Since the game was set to include Marvel characters, Brian Michael Bendis, a comic book writer, was brought on to write original story material.

[57][58][59] On April 8, 2014, Marvel Entertainment released a teaser trailer featuring characters from Disney Infinity interacting with Captain America's shield.

in fact, the character is the only one that comes close to the Incredible Hulk in the game (designers wanted another brute to offer) and when fully powered up, stands on equal footing with the green beast.

[73] When designing the game, Avalanche Software focused not only on the inclusion of the NFC-enabled[33] Marvel figurines, but improving the Toybox mode (especially for younger players) as well.

[45] Jimmy Pitaro, president of Disney Interactive Studios stated "we wanted to take everything that worked so well and make it epic.

"[74] The development team tried to appeal to the game's target audience (children) by making changes to environments, with one being to disregard physics.

[13] Matt Solie, of Disney Interactive Studios, when asked about the topic stated "I had my nephews, who are eight and five, try Amazing Spider-Man 2, which is the epitome of physics-based, buildings attached—[it's] not really fun for them.

and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of design, the possibility of the female Thor from the comics joining the game has not been ruled out.

Community members Stewart "CrazybyNick" Malcolm, Patrick "PapaEcho" Efird, Tyler "Tyforce" Cole, Jose "doctorlogicgate" Abalos and Quinn "quinnjitsu" Johnson, who competed in multiple challenges hosted by the Disney Infinity team, were actually hired to create free downloadable levels for Disney Infinity 2.0.

John Day, of Avalanche Software stated that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Disney Infinity would likely be "way more beautiful," offer "a whole lot more" content, "or both.

In Disney Infinity there were certain platforms that were constrained by the amount of RAM, so people couldn't truly build the toy box of their dreams.

We've optimized the engine to allow the last-gen, PS3 and 360, to still build compelling Toy Box levels, but with Xbox One and PS4, the sky's the limit.

[89] A Collector's Edition Starter Pack was exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 released, in addition to everything included in the Disney Infinity 2.0 Starter Pack, it includes the Hulk, Captain America and Hawkeye as playable characters and a diorama featuring a Frost Beast to display all The Avengers characters.

[155] Brandon Jones of GameTrailers praised the easier-to-use Toybox tools, but was disappointed by a lack of diversity from the game's Playsets.

[157] Subsequently, Daniel Krupa of IGN commended the game's improved combat, which made characters more interesting, and the more accessible Toybox mode.

[158] He, like Roberts and Ramsay, criticized the game's lack of variety in its Playset mode, repetitive missions and "lifeless" version of New York City.

[154] In spite of that, Peterson condemned Disney Infinity 2.0's bad driving mechanics, poor player training within Toybox mode and high cost to unlock content.

[154] Steve Hannley of Hardcore Gamer also gave the game a positive review, scoring it a 4/5, saying "Toy Box mode has been notably upgraded and overall gameplay is more polished, while increased depth will have players of all ages coming back for more," yet criticizing the "repetitive" Play Sets.

[163] He also forecast that the Marvel Playsets and figurines would double in sales, due to strong international appeal of super heroes.

[165] A potential third installment in the Disney Infinity game franchise, and the inclusion of characters from Star Wars have been teased at by executive producer John Vignocchi.
