GN Version 5.0

The following comes from two sources close to Disney Infinity that have detailed supposed plans for Disney Infinity content before future plans were cancelled.

- level pack for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
- new line of 12-inch figures
- Disney Infinity 4.0 with a story mode that would have intertwined the adventures of characters from the series’
- Infinity's cancellation had a lot to do with miscalculations in toy manufacturing
- 12 inch figures for Buzz Lightyear, Elsa, Hulk, Hulkbuster, Jack Skellington, and Darth Vader
- these would launch in the Fall for $45 each, would have featured more detail, lit up, and acted differently in-game
- Ninja Theory had been working on material based on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
- Studio Gobo were working on content based on the upcoming animated feature Moana
- Disney Infinity 4.0 would have material from Cars 3, Star Wars VIII, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Coco, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and Thor: Ragnarok
- new story mode for the Toy Box
- production delays in figurines caused problems for Disney
- some figures also didn't sell what they expected, with Hulk selling 1 million out of 2 million produced
- there was a possible deal with Hasbro to help manufacture toys
- Disney was hoping to move unsold toy stock by making figurines compatible with new level packs
- Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy didn't sell well
- troubles negotiating between brands lead to issues with figurine creation and content development
- LucasArts wanted Disney Infinity to focus on the animated cartoon, Disney wanted to focus on The Force Awakens
