Video game
A tie-in video game has been announced to accompany the film's release. It will be developed by Avalanche Software, which was shut down by Disney in 2016, but was acquired and revived by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. As Disney no longer develops and publishes video games after the non-Japanese release of Disney Infinity 3.0, Warner Bros. will publish the tie-in game.[15]
