Disney's highly anticipated remake, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, is set to launch September 24th, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. This reimagining of the beloved Wii title promises enhanced graphics and improved gameplay, reigniting excitement among fans of the cult-classic franchise.
Initially unveiled at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed brings back the iconic paintbrush mechanics with significant performance enhancements across multiple platforms. A recent trailer confirmed the release date and detailed the Collector's Edition's contents, featuring insights from original creative director Warren Spector. Spector highlighted the importance of introducing Epic Mickey to a new generation while also catering to long-time fans.
The Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Collector's Edition includes:
- 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 grants early access (24 hours, excluding PC/Steam) and the in-game costume pack. This marks the first Collector's Edition for the Epic Mickey series, offering a unique opportunity for collectors. Disney aims to revive the 3D platforming series after the mixed reception of Epic Mickey 2, and the ambitious Collector's Edition suggests strong confidence in Rebrushed's success.
Following the triumph of Disney Dreamlight Valley, hopes are high for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed to achieve similar popularity, potentially paving the way for more classic character-based games from Disney. This September's release is being closely watched as a key indicator of Disney's future in the gaming industry.
