Disney's Adventure Returns: 'Epic Mickey' Remastered Release Announced

Disney's beloved Wii title, Disney Epic Mickey, is getting a fresh coat of paint! Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remastered version of the original game, launches September 24th, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. This remake promises to reignite the cult following the first two Epic Mickey games cultivated among Disney fans.

Initially unveiled at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct, Rebrushed boasts enhanced visuals and improved gameplay features. The classic paintbrush mechanics return, complemented by significant performance enhancements across multiple platforms. A new trailer offers a closer look at the game, confirming the release date and details of the Collector's Edition.

Creative director Warren Spector highlights the importance of introducing Epic Mickey to a new generation, expressing excitement for both longtime and new fans to experience this revamped adventure. The trailer also reveals the September 24th release date and the availability of a Collector's Edition.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Collector's Edition Includes:

• Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed game
• Collector’s Steelbook
• 11-inch (28 cm) Mickey Mouse Statue
• Oswald Keychain
• Vintage Mickey Mouse Tin Sign
• Six Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed postcards
• In-game Costume Pack (three outfits)

Pre-ordering secures the costume pack and 24-hour early access (excluding PC/Steam). This marks the first Collector's Edition in the Epic Mickey franchise, offering a unique opportunity for fans to acquire exclusive collectibles. Disney aims to revive the 3D platforming series after the mixed reception of Epic Mickey 2, and the Collector's Edition suggests confidence in Rebrushed's success.

Following the triumph of Disney Dreamlight Valley, hopes are high that Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will achieve similar popularity, potentially paving the way for more games featuring classic Disney characters. With Rebrushed arriving this September, the gaming world eagerly awaits Disney's next move.
