Get ready to paint the town again with Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
In 2010 Epic Mickey splashed some colour onto the Wii and spawned a new series, now the game is coming back Rebrushed for modern platforms, thanks to THQ Nordic. Revealed in the recent Nintendo Direct, the game has been completely remade and will release in 2024 for Switch, PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Check out the reveal trailer for the game below.
In this classic action-adventure game, players will send Mickey Mouse, armed with a magical paintbrush, on an epic creative journey to brave the dangerous world of Wasteland. Through exciting levels inspired by classic Disney stories, players will paint their path and face a variety of challenges along the way.
“I’ve received more heartfelt fan mail from players of all ages about Disney Epic Mickey than any other project I’ve worked on – a true indicator of the timelessness of this game. That my team and I contributed to that legacy is truly an honour and I’m delighted that old fans and new will get to enjoy the adventures of Mickey and Oswald in Wasteland once again.”
While Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is just the first game, one might hope that the sequel, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two gets the same treatment and maybe a port of the 3DS exclusive Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. Of course, the plan was for this series to actually have more games than it did, but the second game didn’t fair so well on the aging Wii, so Disney dropped it, making its return here a bit of a surprise.
“Having been part of this from the earliest beginnings of the creative idea, all those years ago, I can’t wait to see new players discover this enduring classic on modern consoles. We are excited that fans of the original will also get to relive their own experiences wielding the paintbrush and thinner once again.”
There is no release date for the game yet, outside of 2024, but once it does release it will come to Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
