The remake boasts enhanced graphics and improved gameplay features, retaining the original's signature paintbrush mechanics while significantly boosting performance across multiple platforms. A recent trailer confirmed the release date and showcased the Collector's Edition's contents, generating considerable buzz. Creative director Warren Spector highlighted the importance of introducing Epic Mickey to a new generation of players, emphasizing the excitement surrounding this refreshed experience.
The Collector's Edition includes:
