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.

I played like a rat in Arc Raiders, and the loot was disgustingly good
Ratting my way downtown to the best gear
An ambush in Arc Raiders

I did not go into Arc Raiders planning to play like a rat. After a few bad runs, I had lost some of my good gear and just wanted to blow off some steam in the game's unofficial PvP arena "Stella Montis". In the best-case scenario, the goal was to go in guns blazing, borrowing some fine piece of equipment from fellow raiders, and booking it to the extract. The worst-case scenario, where I would lose everything, didn't bother me since I was running a free loadout.

Stella Montis has a reputation. It is built for tight and tense corridors that encourage player engagement. But another reason for its infamy is how it exposes one of the players' biggest frustrations with this game, which is the free leadout problem. Free loadout players arrive with a basic gun, ammo, shield, and health, which is not much on paper, but enough to become dangerous when they have nothing meaningful to lose.
