Three years after Disney Infinity was shelved and two since Skylanders stopped its annual retail release schedule, a very sci-fi Starlink: Battle For Atlas is preparing to revive an abandoned toy-game sector.
Video game company Ubisoft has plenty of experience with merchandise, whether it be for the mischievous floppy-eared Raving Rabbids or its expansive, historical Assassin's Creed action adventures.
Last year, it released its unusual and unexpectedly successful Nintendo crossover, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which was compatible with Nintendo's line of scannable Amiibo figurines; now it's going the whole hog with a toy-game hybrid of its own, Starlink: Battle For Atlas.
Presented as a boys' sci-fi action adventure, at retail Starlink, out Oct 16, comes bundled with a copy of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch game, a modular space ship with swappable parts, and a figurine pilot.
