Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushedis bringing the cult classic 3D platformer to PC, with updated controls and graphics, more than a decade after its original Wii-exclusive release. Now it has a specific release date: September 24th.

Disney Epic Mickeystars Mickey Mouse as he’s sucked into a crumbling world filled with forgotten characters from the Disney back catalogue, such as Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. Armed with a magic paintbrush, players have the power to change the world around them, re-painting some parts and rubbing out others. The story then changes to adapt to your playstyle.

Rebrushed recreates the artwork for modern resolutions and moves away from the Wii’s motion controls, but also expands Mickey’s moveset with a “dash, ground pound and sprinting”.

I’m quite looking forward to giving Rebrushed a try when it launches later this year, anyway. It’s not like there’s an abundance of ambitious 3D platformers to play.
