Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
An exciting piece of news from the presentation was the reveal that THQNordic and Purple Lamp are launching Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a faithful remake of the beloved classic adventure, in collaboration with Disney Games. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is scheduled for release across PS4™, PS5™, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo® Switch and PC in 2024.
The development team was assisted in the remaster by Warren Spector, director of the original Disney Epic Mickey. In this classic action-adventure game, players will send Mickey Mouse, armed with a magical paintbrush, on an epic creative journey to brave the dangerous world of Wasteland. Players will be summoning their creativity and sense of discovery as Mickey Mouse when they find themselves drawn into Wasteland – another world from Disney’s creative pen! Wasteland is ruled by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, one of several Disney creations of the past that players can look forward to interacting with in Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. Players will determine how their in-game story develops through the use of paint and thinner, facing enemies, overcoming challenges, and meeting new friends along the way.
