A demo for Epic Mickey Reburshed is now available.
The demo for the game, which will be released in September, is now available onPC,PlayStation 5,XboxSeries, andNintendo Switch.
Recently, VGC got to gohands-on with the game, saying it “does a great job of improving the original”.
“With around a month to go until release, we won’t have long to see whetherEpic Mickey: Rebrushedis going to deliver a second wind for a game that really deserved more love the first time around, but missed out due to platform exclusivity, waning enthusiasm for the Wii and irritating niggles like the game’s camera,” we wrote.
“One thing’s for certain, however – if Rebrushed sells well enough and demonstrates that an audience remains for this darker take on Mickey Mouse,Purple Lamptells me it’s keeping everything crossed that it’ll get the green light to start on a remake ofEpicMickey 2. Based on what I’ve played of Rebrushed, if Purple Lamp is keen to do the sequel then – if you’ll pardon the inevitable Mickey pun – I hope THQ is all ears.”
Epic Mickey is available to pre-order for $59.99 / £49.99 on PC,Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and Switch.

Released as aNintendo Wiiexclusive, Epic Mickey offered a darker take on a Mickey Mouse story, in which Mickey visits the Wasteland, where forgotten Disney characters live.
It also marked the return of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a Walt Disney creation whose IP had recently been acquired by the company from Universal.
Epic Mickey was developed by the now-defunct Junction Point Studios and directed by Deus Ex creatorWarren Spector. According to THQ, Spector assisted on the remake, which has been developed by Purple Lamp in collaboration with Disney Games.
