Epic Mickey Is Getting a Surprise Remake For Multiple Platforms

Developed by Purple Lamp, in collaboration with Disney Games and published by THQ Nordic, this enhanced remake features state-of-the-art visuals, improved controls, and new movement capabilities for Mickey.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

will feature all the original game's beloved elements, along with enhancements that take advantage of modern hardware capabilities. Players can expect an action-adventure 3D platformer experience enriched with a visually upgraded setting and a set of gameplay improvements designed to smooth out the original game's rough edges.

The announcement of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed has reignited hopes for the revival of the Epic Mickey series, which was initially planned as a trilogy but saw its potential cut short after the release of its sequel, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

With the closure of Junction Point Studios, the original game's developer, the future of the series seemed uncertain until now.

This remake is part of Disney's growing involvement in gaming, with recent investments in Epic Games and the launch of other Disney-themed games. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is part of this broader strategy to leverage Disney's rich catalog of characters and stories in the gaming world, offering both nostalgia to long-time fans and an introduction to new players.
