Maleficent and Merida announced for Disney Infinity 2.0

Well well, what do we have here? Maleficent is currently cleaning up at the box office, and if there’s one thing that the house of mouse can do, it’s moichendise! Disney Infinity 2.0 hits later this year, and you’ll be seeing Maleficent in that expanded roster of characters. And a red-headed step-child as well.

Word of warning: Maleficent comes with True Jolie Action ®, so your copy of Disney Infinity 2.0 might have a touch of humanitirism work and adopted orphans running around whenever you summon her into the game:

The wicked title character from the upcoming Walt Disney Studios film employs numerous magical powers and can attack using her magic in melee and ranged combat. To defeat enemies, Maleficent has the ability to utilise projectile and area of effect attacks that affect multiple targets within a specified area, brambles that she summons from the ground and ravens that she can call on to attack targets.

And from one of the worst and most annoying Pixar films made in recent history, comes Merida from Brave. Yay. Feigned interest. Yay.

Merida

With her untamed fiery red locks, this headstrong Princess will definitely leave her mark in Disney Infinity. Between her sharp sword and bow combo attacks with ricocheting arrows, she can upgrade her aim with elemental freeze arrows, freezing enemies in front of her then following up with rapid shots showing off her impressive athletic skills as an archer and sword fighter.

Disney Infinity is out in September. Feel free to ignore Merida and rather buy several Iron Men instead.
