On the last day of D23 Expo 2015, we attended the Disney Interactive Panel. Gamers in attendance (including me) anxiously waited for any exclusive news about Kingdom Hearts III, Star Wars-related games, and Disney Infinity 3.0. Well, there were tons of juicy announcements made. So many, in fact, that my head has been spinning for days just trying to figure out how to tell you all about it!

To keep it short and sweet, here are the main highlights from the event.

Same information as presented in our group’s dedicated presentation but without the live demo.
