A Disney newletter has revealed Epic Mickey 2.
The letter, which was edited after Disney fansite Stick Kingdom (via Eurogamer spotted the mention, listed the game for a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii release this Christmas.
The game will make use of a co-op mode, which sees player two in the shoes of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who can “fly like a helicopter” and “use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges.”
The body of the newsletter read in full:
“Disney Epic Mickey 2 is the latest game in the critically acclaimed Disney Epic Mickey videogame series. In this all-new action-platforming game available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, Mickey embarks on an epic journey and is pulled back into a world filled with Disney’s forgotten characters. Players can choose to play single-player as Mickey or for the first time players can also choose two-player split screen mode. In the two-player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit – Walt Disney’s first cartoon star – with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges. Team-up and choose your path to save this forgotten world because the choices you make will alter the story and change the end of the game!”
In August last year, a leaked survey pointed to the release of Epic Mickey 2, even including potential box arts, featuring new co-op character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Cant wait to play this in High Def.
Have the collectors of the original on Wii and while good fun….can’t help but feel like it shouldve been on one of the big kid systems instead.
I had heard a while back a rumor that the original Epic Mickey was going to be recieving the HD port treatment for PSN and XBLA but its been pretty quiet ever since on that front.
Anyone know if there is any validity to that rumor?
Kewls, but I’m still bummed that there was no further word of a HD release of the first.
