Disney’s Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remake of 2010’s Epic Mickey, now has a release date. Expect it on September 24th.
The game was first revealed during a Nintendo Partner Direct in February. The remake is being handled by developer Purple Lamp and features reworked gameplay (after all, the original was played using the Wii’s motion controls), up-to-date brush abilities for Mickey Mouse, and improved graphics. The up-to-date trailer features a conversation with the game’s original imaginative director Warren Spector, who is also involved with the remake, to reveal the Rebrushed Collector’s Edition.
For $199.99 USD, this special box is available for pre-order now and includes the following items:
- Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Full Game
- Mickey Mouse figurine, 28 cm high
- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Keychain
- Old Mickey Mouse tin sign
- Six Disney Epic Mickey Postcards: Remastered
- Steelbook for collectors
- Disney Epic Mickey Costume Pack: Rebrushed
In case you missed the original game, Mickey explores a fantasy world called Wasteland, filled with little-known Disney characters, namely antagonist Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an original Disney animated star who predates Mickey Mouse. Wasteland has been taken over by an entity called the Blot, whom Mickey accidentally frees and now must stop. In this 3D action platformer, Mickey wields a magic paintbrush that can create up-to-date objects while erasing others, and Mickey’s actions shape his destiny and the game’s story.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. You can read our review of the original Epic Mickey here.
