Following the recent confirmation of Warren Spector's long-rumored Wii platformer Epic Mickey, publisher Disney today unleashed a torrent of media and details.

Disney described the "edgy and unexpected cartoon adventure" as "an adventure-platforming game with light role-playing elements," explaining that "players use the Wii Remote to wield magical paint and thinner to re-shape the world around them."

Spector, known for his contributions to fan-favorite first-person shooter series Deus Ex, noted that "the core of this game is the idea of choice and consequence, and how that defines both the character and the player." Development is being handled by Junction Point, which Spector created in 2005 and then sold to Disney in 2007.

The plot apparently involves "very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey," a concept corroborated by the leaked art, which features the classic Disney character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

The Epic gameplay supposedly involves "[painting] your way through levels using the Wii Remote" by "drawing, etching and erasing whole or parts of levels as you go."

Disney has so far been tight-lipped on details of the game, saying only that it is "very encouraged" by Junction Point's work.

Warren Spector's rumored Disney-meets-steampunk project "Epic Mickey" is rumor no more, as confirmation and art have emerged by way of online resumes and portfolios.

The resume has since been updated to remove the reference, with "undisclosed title" replacing Pulham's previous mention of "Epic Mickey (Wii Video Game)."

Little else is known of the project--rumors suggest it's a platformer--with Spector having previously cautioned that upon its revelation, fans would vilify the Deus Ex and System Shock veteran, accuse him of selling out, and act "like the world... Read more
