Warren Spector planning for Epic Mickey sequels - November 4, 2009 by Jens Erik Vaaler

Warren Spector planning for Epic Mickey sequels

It seems Epic Mickey might be too epic to be limited to a single game. According to creative director Warren Spector, he’s already got a couple of Epic Mickey sequel ideas bouncing around in his head.

“I don’t do anything that isn’t extensible,” Spector told 1UP. “And I will certainly feel like that I have not done my job if we can’t make other games in this world with these characters. In my head, I’ve got two more planned.”

But don’t get your hopes up yet. Just because movie franchises seem to be made on a trilogy basis, not all videogame franchises are.

“In the business world of reality, those games have not approved, and who knows if we’ll ever see them. I had three games planned for Deus Ex, and you see where that got me.”

Epic Mickey officially annouced by Disney - October 29, 2009 by Jens Erik Vaaler

Epic Mickey has been in the works for a while and most of us have been following it since day one, yet it’s never been officially confirmed by Disney Interactive. So put on your best act of surprise as Epic Mickey has been officially announced today through a press release by Disney.

Epic Mickey is described as an adventure-platformer wit light RPG elements. A sorcerer named Yen Sid has created an alternate world where forgotten and retired Disney characters live. Within this world (the Cartoon Wasteland) lives Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star created in 1927, who’s made this cartoon world quite comfortable to live in. Mickey discovers Yen Sid’s map to the Cartoon Wasteland and inavdertently devastates Oswald’s world. Even when Mickey messes up it turns out epic.

“Mickey is an adventurous and rambunctious mouse,” said Warren Spector, creative director and vice president, Junction Point. “I want to bring his personality to the forefront, place him in a daunting world and connect his spirited character with video game players worldwide. Ultimately, each player decides for him- or herself what makes Mickey cool.”

It’s still Wii exclusive, so suck it, PS3 and 360 owners!

Epic Mickey formally revealed in next Game Informer - October 6, 2009 by Jens Erik Vaaler

EDIT: Game Informer has recently removed their claim that Epic Mickey is a Wii exclusive game. The claim did raise a few eyebrows among certain gamers, especially considering the game’s “artwork” nature. So I guess we shouldn’t make more core games for the Wii after all, despite the fact that’s what everyone’s going on and on about.

For those of you who didn’t catch the news the first time around, Epic Mickey is an upcoming video game designed by Warren Spector, the man behind Deus Ex, for Disney Interactive Studios. The game is being developed by Junction Point Studios and has been described as a Wii exclusive steampunkesque title.

Game Informer is currently finishing up on their next issue, the cover of which will feature artwork from Epic Mickey, with the subtitle “Disney’s iconic mouse as you’ve never seen him”. Over the month of October,

GameInformer.com will feature exclusive screenshots, animation, concept art and music from the upcoming game, kicking off with an interview with Warren Spector at 4PM CST today.

I’m a huge steampunk fan, and a pretty big Mickey Mouse fan, and I can’t wait to see how this game turns out.
