Play Sets

Star Wars: Twilight of the Republic
Star Wars: Rise Against the Empire
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Coming late 2015)
ALL Star Wars characters can crossover to the other Star Wars sets via tokens a la 2.0 playsets but it's only 1 this time.
Other playsets this year include:
Inside Out
Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set
Play Sets from the original two games will unlock Toy Box items for use in 3.0 but you will not be able to play the campaigns from those sets in 3.0.
Power Discs
Power Discs are game pieces that you can place on your Infinity base that give you extra abilities, items, and customization options. This installment discs will no longer come in blind bags containing two. They will instead be sold in themed packs where the content is visible, and each one will contain four Power Discs. Each of these packages will contain four discs that share something in common, which is referred to in the name of the package itself. These packages will sell for an average retail price of $9.99 U.S
Toy Box
Toy Box is where you'll be able to make your own games within Disney Infinity 3.0. Toy Boxes in 3.0 are promised to be much bigger than those you were able to make in the original and new features like doors will allow you to combine up to 10 different toy boxes. Constructing Toy Boxes in 3.0 will also be easier as they are now introducing tools to help players build their toy boxes.
Toy Boxes can be shared across all platforms but more ambitious Toy Boxes made on PS4 and Xbox One will only be able to be shared between those two platforms.
In this game there's two new Toy Box Games, Toy Box Speedway and Toy Box Takeover. The former will be a racing game in the style of Mario Kart; the latter will be a dungeon crawler style game similar to Escape from the Kyln from 2.0. They are both sold separately from the game and from each other. Additionally, they will not be accessed with game discs as they were before, but by clear game pieces like those used for play sets.
New Features
Farming - A new feature in the game allows you to start a farm to grow food to boost the stats of your sidekicks, for example Olaf Costume, so they can help you more in Toy Box Games. You can grow anything from flowers to weeds to food plants. There are over 20 different types of food plants you can grow, including corn, tomatoes, cotton candy, Mickey Pop, and even grubs.
New Sidekicks - Unlike in Disney Infinity 2.0, many more Costumes can be used as sidekicks, including some that were used only as regular costumes in the first two games; in all, there are around (not quite exactly) ninety-three sidekicks in the game. Also, sidekicks in this game can do more than just fight, unlike those in Disney Infinity 2.0. They can be equipped with different gear that can be unlocked from various places in-game, including hats and weapons, which can change a sidekick's effectiveness and function.For example, equipping them with Thor's hammer Mjolnir tells the sidekick to fight, while equipping them with the Seven Dwarfs' pick ax tells them to build a village. (This may or may not mean that there will be no true Toy Box Builders in this game.)
Aerial Combos - The game introduces a new set of character attacks. By holding down the attack button, the player can uppercut an enemy into the air, which can be followed up with a set of attacks that can be performed while the enemies are still in the air, ending with the player sending the enemy flying off. There is also an aerial finisher attack that can be performed whilst the enemy is still in the air. These can be performed by any character with a lightsaber or any other short range weapon, and are done by holding down the attack button.
Redesigned Skill Trees - The game introduces a new design for characters' Skill Trees. In the previous game, skill trees showed all unlockable abilities on one page. In this game, abilities are separated into four separate pages, with each page including all abilities of a certain type. For example, the page for health-related abilities is separate from the page for ranged attack upgrades.
Course Charting - The game allows you to plot a course for some toys to follow. The player draws a path of dots on the ground, which all connect to each other. They can then program Cast Members, Enemies, Costumes, or Creativi-Toys to follow this path. This was designed to ease toy box building.
Toy Machine - The Toy Machine will be a new feature in the game. Every toy box world will begin with a Toy Machine, a red machine that resembles a gumball machine, in it. When a player stands on a button near the machine, it will generate a capsule containing a toy that the player has already unlocked. This was so that players can more fully appreciate the many toys they unlock instead of forgetting about them and never being able to play with them
