Thanks to a newsletter spotted by Stitch Kingdom, it has been revealed that Disney are working on a sequel to Epic Mickey. Epic Mickey 2 will see everyone’s favourite mouse return not only on Wii but the PS3 and Xbox 360, hopefully for Christmas 2012.
Obviously details are scarce but expect some more of the cool magic painting to be utilised as Mickey embarks on a new journey. Also revealed is a new co-op mode where a friend can take control of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!
“Disney Epic Mickey 2 is the latest game in the critically acclaimed Disney Epic Mickey videogame series. In this all-new action-platforming game available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, Mickey embarks on an epic journey and is pulled back into a world filled with Disney’s forgotten characters. Players can choose to play single-player as Mickey or for the first time players can also choose two-player split screen mode. In the two-player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit – Walt Disney’s first cartoon star – with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges. Team-up and choose your path to save this forgotten world because the choices you make will alter the story and change the end of the game!”
Although the first wasn’t perfect (remember the god damn awful camera!) I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Mickey return in Hi-Def! I do find it a little odd that there’s no mention of the Wii U, I would have thought this would have been a perfect match for Nintendo’s new console. Perhaps it will appear for the new console nearer the time….
