THQ Nordic and developer Purple Lamp have released the launch trailer for Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on Nintendo Switch 2, underscoring performance and control improvements for the platform.
The remastered 3D platformer — reimagined by Purple Lamp from a concept originally envisioned by Warren Spector — is available now at retail and via the Nintendo eShop.
Overview and platform enhancements
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed sends Mickey Mouse through Wasteland, a stylized realm populated by forgotten Disney characters.
Players use a paint-and-thinner mechanic to alter environments and influence narrative outcomes.
The Switch 2 version, showcased in the new trailer, advertises higher resolution visuals and an improved framerate compared with the earlier handheld iteration.
The release also adds mouse-style input options mapped to the Joy-Con 2 controller and ships with the Costume Pack DLC included.
Developer context and design
Purple Lamp handled the reimagining and visual overhaul for Rebrushed, building on Warren Spector’s original vision for the franchise.
The studio’s updates include refreshed controls and new movement actions for Mickey such as dash, ground pound, and sprinting, intended to modernize platforming responsiveness while preserving the property’s signature paint-and-thinner mechanics.
Paraphrased studio statements
According to the publisher and developer materials, every interaction with the magic brush has meaningful consequences: using paint restores elements of Wasteland while thinner transforms surfaces and exposes hidden paths.
Those design choices are presented as core to the title’s progression and storytelling, with player decisions shaping Mickey’s journey and the final outcome of the adventure.
Availability and consumer notes
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is available at retail and on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 owners.
THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp have confirmed a free upgrade path for players who own the Switch 1 edition; users should consult official publisher channels for upgrade details and platform-specific instructions.
The new launch trailer is intended to demonstrate the Switch 2-specific upgrades and to reaffirm Purple Lamp’s goal of bringing a revitalized Epic Mickey experience to modern Nintendo hardware.
