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.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
