A newsletter from Disney D23, the official House of Mouse fan club, has reportedly confirmed Epic Mickey 2 is in production and it will be multi platform.
The newsletter has since been removed but Game Informer grabbed the text before it vanished and it revealed the game will have co-op.
Disney Epic Mickey 2 is the latest game in the critically acclaimed Disney Epic Mickey videogame series. In this all-new action-platforming game available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.
Mickey embarks on an epic journey and is pulled back into a world filled with Disney’s forgotten characters.
Players can choose to play single-player as Mickey or for the first time players can also choose 2-player split screen mode.
In the 2 player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit – Walt Disney’s first cartoon star – with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges.
Team-up and choose your path to save this forgotten world because the choices you make will alter the story and change the end of the game!

Heard that while a little rough in places, the original was well worth a few sessions on the Wii. I would be keen to play EM2 though would like to see a PS3/Move-compatible port of the first title.

Judging by the poor sales of Rayman Origins, people aren’t interested in 2D platformers anymore. Presuming that’s what the sequel will be

I’m hoping the first poor figures for RO were just a sign that many of us were expecting to get it for christmas.
Which I did, woohoo!

“and Wii”? Not Wii U? That’s rather strange.

Great news. I was hoping to see the first one on the PS3. Split screen coop is also a win.

I have enjoyed what I’ve played of the original, would definitely pick up a PS3 sequel!
