Mickey's Epic Comeback: 'Epic Mickey: Rebrushed' Release Date Revealed

Disney's beloved Wii classic, Disney Epic Mickey, is getting a fresh coat of paint! Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remastered version of the original game, launches September 24th, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. The initial two Epic Mickey titles cultivated a dedicated fanbase, setting a promising stage for this remake.

First unveiled at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct, Rebrushed promises enhanced visuals and improved gameplay. Expect the return of familiar paintbrush mechanics, along with significant performance boosts across multiple platforms. While details were scarce since the February announcement, a recent trailer revealed more, confirming the release date and a special Collector's Edition.

The trailer features Warren Spector, the original game's creative director, discussing the remastering process and the excitement of introducing Epic Mickey to a new generation. He highlighted the September 24th release and the Collector's Edition.
