SDCC Starts Tonight: Here Is Disney Infinity’s Plans (Live-Stream Thursday Night!)

San Diego Comic Con kicks off tonight with ‘preview night’, but then really goes into full swing on Thursday!

So what can we expect from Disney? It definitely feels like there will be a Marvel based announcement happening with several hints/indications from the Disney Infinity team.

We could see some more figures and maybe even some information on that mysterious Marvel playset.

While we can get the news at any time, Disney is hinting that they will be making the announcement(s) during their Thursday night live stream on Twitch from their pop-up shop. The stream is expected to take place at 6PM PT / 9 PM ET and will be hosted on Twitch.TV/Disney.

Here is the full details:

Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition is heading to San Diego Comic-Con this week, giving fans the first hands-on opportunity to experience the latest installment of the best-selling “hybrid toy / video game” of 2014, which brings together Disney, Disney•Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars™ characters like never before. Marvel’s Hulkbuster and Ultron characters will be playable for the first time in the game’s fully enhanced Toy Box mode, joining Marvel’s Spider-Man, Yoda, Darth Vader, Elsa, Jack Sparrow and many more characters from across The Walt Disney Company inside Disney Infinity.
