Disney's beloved Wii classic, Epic Mickey, is getting a fresh coat of paint! Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remastered version of the first game, launches September 24th, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. This remake promises to reignite the cult following established by the original two Epic Mickey titles.

Initially unveiled at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed boasts upgraded graphics and improved gameplay. The iconic paintbrush mechanics return, enhanced by significant performance boosts across multiple platforms.
