Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remake, trailers, & everything we know
Disney fans have been surprised by the announcement of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remake of the classic Nintendo Wii platformer that's coming to modern consoles including the Switch.
For players old and new, here's what Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is about, when it's arriving, and the trailers we've seen of it so far, so you can enjoy the story when it launches.
What is Epic Mickey: Rebrushed about?
Like the original 2011 game on Wii, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is about a mischievous and curious Mickey Mouse who first wonders through the mirror of the sorcerer, Yen Sid, into his workshop.
After finding a magic paintbrush and causing a chaotic mess, the iconic mouse becomes trapped in a spellbinding world of forgotten Disney characters and concepts - now endangered by the monstrous Shadow Blot he's accidentally created.
In this "faithful remake of the beloved classic", you'll journey through the wondrous dimension - using the magic brush to shape the world with both paint and paint thinner as you go on to become an epic hero.
Do we know when Epic Mickey: Rebrushed comes out?
All we currently know is that Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is coming out sometime in 2024. No date or even a launch window has been revealed yet.
