Read our full Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes review.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, the sequel to 2013’s Disney Infinity, will be released on September 24, 2014 for unspecified platforms. The game is confirmed for release on iOS, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, but the press release doesn’t specify which ones will be arriving on that date. As the title suggests, the sequel features characters from the Marvel and Disney universes, and will be compatible with all figures, Power Discs, and toy boxes from the first Disney Infinity.

In addition to the release date announcement, Disney is launching a pre-order program starting today which will net gamers a free Disney Infinity Marvel figure from “top retailers” nationwide. If you’re going to be at San Diego Comic-Con, pre-orders can be placed at the Disney Infinity Pop-up Shop, or at the Marvel booth, with hands-on demos running at both of these locations.

As we previously reported, the starter pack for Marvel Super Heroes includes Black Widow, Iron Man, and Thor. There’s also a Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set due for release in fall 2014, and Sony will be offering an impressive collector’s edition of the game that features the six core Avengers — including Hulk, a figure that won’t otherwise be available at launch — and an elaborate display stand featuring a Frost Beast.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
