Disney Epic Mickey 2 The Power Of Two Reveals A New Frontier At PAX Prime 2012
August 31, in the year of
our Lord 2012 - Industry luminary Warren Spector and
Disney Interactive’s Junction Point are showcasing a
never-before-seen area of “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of
Two” for Penny Arcade Expo attendees at the Disney Interactive
booth North Hall #642 at the Washington State Convention Center
in Seattle this weekend. Attendees will explore Fort Wasteland,
an area of the video game based on the historic Frontierland
that opened with Disneyland® Park in July 1955 and has delighted
generations of visitors with forgotten attractions such as the
Mine Train Through Nature’s Wonderland and Fort Wilderness on
Tom Sawyer Island.
Additionally, attendees that come by the Disney Interactive
booth will have the opportunity to receive a sketch from a
Disney Character Sketch Artist, giveaways and more.
The “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” video game returns
Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an
alternate world filled with more than 80 years of forgotten
Disney characters and theme park attractions. But for the first
time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners -
Mickey with the magical paint brush that allows him to wield
paint and thinner, and Oswald with a powerful remote control
that allows him to command electricity. This new co-op play
further enhances the idea that “PlayStyle Matters” – a unique
approach to gameplay pioneered by Warren Spector where players
tackle challenges the way they want to in order to explore a
variety of possibilities and storylines, but always with
consequences for their chosen actions.
Development for “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two” for the
Wii™ system from Nintendo, Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system is being led by Disney
Interactive’s Junction Point. Supporting the latest technology,
the game will also feature full support for the PlayStation®Move
motion controller. “Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion” for
the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system is under development by
critically-acclaimed developer DreamRift, in collaboration with
Junction Point. The games are rated “E” for Everyone by the
ESRB.
