E3 2012 sure provided Epic Mickey fans with a lot of info about the upcoming installments for the franchise. Epic Mickey 2: the Power of Two is the sequel to Epic Mickey and the new E3 trailer reminds fans just how great and downright colorful the series is.
Although the gameplay in Epic Mickey 2 is similar to its predecessor, one of the biggest differences is that Oswald The Lucky Rabbit is now a second player and can help the other player through challenges by being CPU controlled or by being played by an actual person. The characters are returned to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with more than 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. The two will join forces as partners-Mickey wuth his magical paint brush and Oswald with a powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity.
"Our fans have told us how eager they are for a sequel to 'Disney Epic Mickey' and I'm happy to be able to reveal the launch date for "Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two," said Warren Spector, creative director and vice president of Junction Point in a press release. "I think players are going to be excited by the new areas of the game being revealed at E3 where they will need to determine who their friends really are as they team up Mickey Mouse and Oswald to restore balance in Wasteland."
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two will be released on November 18, 2012 for PC, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
