Disney's beloved Wii title, Epic Mickey, is getting a fresh coat of paint! Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remake of the original game, is set to launch on September 24th, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. This news follows the initial announcement at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct.
The remastered title promises enhanced graphics and improved gameplay features, retaining the classic paintbrush mechanics while offering significant performance boosts across multiple platforms. A recent trailer provided further details, including confirmation of the release date and the contents of the Collector's Edition. Creative director Warren Spector highlighted the importance of introducing Epic Mickey to a new generation of gamers while rekindling the enthusiasm of longtime fans.
The Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Collector's Edition is a comprehensive package, including:
- 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 hours of early access (excluding PC/Steam). This marks the first Collector's Edition for the Epic Mickey franchise, offering fans a chance to snag unique collectibles. Disney aims to revive the 3D platforming series after the mixed reception of Epic Mickey 2, and the ambitious Collector's Edition suggests confidence in Rebrushed's success.
Following the positive reception of Disney Dreamlight Valley, hopes are high that Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will achieve similar popularity, potentially paving the way for more classic character-based games from Disney. The September release has many eagerly anticipating the future of Disney's gaming endeavors.
