Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – THQ Nordic’s promising remake of legendary designer Warren Spector’s flawed but lovable 2010 platform adventure – launches for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC on 24th September this year.
The original Disney Epic Mickey, developed by Spector’s Junction Point Studios, launched for Wii back in 2010 – plunging Mickey Mouse into a wonderfully inventive, and surprisingly dark, world of corrupted theme park attractions and long-forgotten Disney history.
Inevitably, it never quite lived up to its deliciously twisted concept art, but it did feature a unique magic paintbrush mechanic – enabling Mickey to paint and erase items in the world to solve puzzles and assist his traversal – plus surprisingly involved questing, including a lightweight morality system. Epic Mickey is arguably also single-handedly responsible for introducing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit back into the public consciousness, so it gets points there too.
