"The four-player arena style combat gameplay is a perfect way for friends and families to come together and play in head-to-head battles with some of their favorite Marvel characters."

Additional Marvel Battlegrounds figures will be announced at a later date. All Disney Infinity (2.0 Edition) Marvel figures will be playable in the Play Set, with adapted abilities and skills to complement the new style of gameplay.

"We worked closely with the Disney Infinity development team to come up with new gameplay and storyline for Marvel Battlegrounds that is unique to the platform," said Jay Ong, VP of Games, Marvel Entertainment. "We've created an authentic Marvel story that will give players the freedom to choose any Marvel figure in Disney Infinity and have them face off against each other in an arena style combat.

In the Marvel Battlegrounds story, Ultron teams up with Loki in an effort to steal Asgard's immensely powerful Infinity Stone. To accomplish this, Ultron and Loki create robotic replicas of the famed Marvel Super Heroes and turn them against each other in an effort to distract them while they commit their crime. The Marvel Super Heroes duplicates battle each other in iconic environments such as a wrecked Brooklyn train yard, Wakanda and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Lunar Base, culminating in a universe-shaking battle against Ultron.
