Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is coming to iOS and Android on September 16, 2026, bringing Mickey Mouse’s dark and imaginative platforming adventure to mobile players as a premium release.
THQ Nordic Mobile and developer Snapshot Games have confirmed that the mobile version will be available as a one-time purchase priced at $15.99. Unlike many mobile games, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will not include microtransactions, giving players the full single-player experience from the start.
The game is a modern remake of the 2010 Wii classic Disney Epic Mickey, originally known for its creative paint-and-thinner gameplay. This updated version first arrived on consoles and PC in September 2024, and the upcoming mobile release aims to bring the same adventure to touchscreen devices with controls designed specifically for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
In Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, players explore Wasteland, a mysterious world created by the sorcerer Yen Sid as a home for forgotten Disney characters. Mickey is pulled into this strange realm after a magical accident and must use his enchanted brush to repair damage, solve puzzles, fight enemies, and shape the world around him.
The heart of the gameplay revolves around paint and thinner. Paint can restore objects, rebuild parts of the environment, and bring color back to Wasteland. Thinner, on the other hand, can erase obstacles, reveal hidden routes, and help Mickey take on Ink Blot enemies. On mobile, players will be able to tap and drag on the screen to control these powers, making the mechanic feel natural for touchscreen play.
For those who prefer a more traditional experience, the mobile version will also support external controllers. This should make platforming, combat, and exploration more comfortable for players who want console-style controls on their phone or tablet.
The remake also includes an expanded movement system compared with the original Wii release. Mickey can now dash, sprint, and perform ground pounds, giving the adventure a faster and more modern feel. These added abilities help make exploration smoother while giving players more ways to handle platforming challenges throughout Wasteland.
One of the most important characters in the story is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Disney’s early animated star before Mickey Mouse became the company’s most famous icon. In Wasteland, Oswald plays a major role as the realm’s former ruler, and his relationship with Mickey is central to the game’s emotional core.
Players will also encounter familiar classic Disney characters such as Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow. As Mickey travels through Wasteland, choices between creation and destruction can affect character relationships and influence how the story unfolds. These decisions may also lead to different endings, encouraging players to think carefully about how they use Mickey’s magical brush.
Pre-orders for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed are now available on the Apple App Store, while Android users can pre-register through Google Play. The game is scheduled for a global mobile launch on September 16, 2026.
The mobile release continues THQ Nordic Mobile’s push to bring console-style games to smartphones and tablets. Previous mobile ports from the publisher include Wreckfest and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed also marks one of the company’s first major releases under its current name following its 2026 rebrand.
With its premium pricing, controller support, touch-optimized gameplay, and complete single-player campaign, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed could appeal to longtime Disney fans, platformer enthusiasts, and mobile gamers looking for a full adventure without free-to-play mechanics. The return to Wasteland on iOS and Android gives a new audience the chance to experience one of Mickey Mouse’s most unusual and memorable journeys.
