Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Purple Lamp Studios have announced Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in 2024.
“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,” said Warren Spector, director of the original Disney Epic Mickey, in a press release. “That my team and I contributed to that legacy is truly an honor and I’m delighted that old fans and new will get to enjoy the adventures of Mickey and Oswald in Wasteland once again.”
Disney, Pixar, and 20th Century Games vice president Luigi Priore added, “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.”
Here is an overview of the game, via THQ Nordic:
