Media conglomerate Disney has announced that Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a reimagining of the first game in the beloved Wii series, will be releasing September 24, with a Collector's Edition now available for pre-order. The first two games in the franchise have established a cult following among Disney fans, which could prove promising for the upcoming remake Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed.

First announced at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will return players to the world of Epic Mickey with improved graphics and updated quality of life features. Familiar mechanics like the paintbrush gameplay will be making a return, with major performance upgrades across a wider variety of gaming platforms. While news on the title has been minimal since February, Disney has finally given fans more details in an exciting new trailer for Rebrushed.

The latest trailer for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed confirms the game's launch date and exclusive Collector's Edition items, reigniting fan enthusiasm for this colorful title. In the trailer, Warren Spector, creative director of the original Disney Epic Mickey, shares insights into the remastering process for the development of Rebrushed. Spector notes the significance of bringing Epic Mickey to "a new generation of players" and the excitement of Disney fans old and new getting to experience the world of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. He goes on to reveal the September 24 release date and announcement of a Collector's Edition for the Mickey Mouse action-adventure game.

Fans who pre-order Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed now can receive the costume pack for free, along with 24 hours of early access, though the latter is unavailable for PC/Steam. This will be the first Collector's Edition in the Epic Mickey franchise, offering dedicated players a unique opportunity to obtain rare fandom collectibles. Disney is hoping to revitalize the 3D platforming series after the lukewarm reviews for Epic Mickey 2, and the special offerings on deck with the Collector's Edition seem to indicate that the media conglomerate is confident in Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed ahead of its release later this year.

Following the success of Disney Dreamlight Valley, audiences are hopeful that Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will see similar popularity and sales and thus encourage Disney to release more games based on classic characters. With Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed stepping up to the plate this September, many are keeping a watchful eye on the future of Disney in gaming.
