It’s officially official – game industry legend Warren Spector and Disney have revealed their joint-venture game to be the much-rumoured, Mickey Mouse-starring game by the name of Epic Mickey, and you’ll be able to read all about it in the next issue of Game Informer when subscribers get their hands on the magazine on October 12th.
Warren Spector is the founder of the (relatively) new game development studio Junction Point, which joined Disney Interactive Studios in July of 2007, at which time Spector and his team got their mitts on Disney’s considerable catalogue of characters and universes, to play with as they wished.
The result is Epic Mickey, a Wii-exclusive game about which not much is known, although according to Game Informer, they’ll be releasing new information about the game over the next few weeks for gamers to feast upon.
In the meantime though, you can cast your eyes on the official, beautiful Epic Mickey Game Informer cover below, and watch a video interview with Warren Spector himself as he talks about his history with Disney (as a fan), as well as the Epic Mickey project itself.

This reminds me of the first time I saw Kingdom Hearts. I assumed it wouldn't sell in spite of the amazing uniqueness of the product. I think this is an amazing idea, but I wonder if the potential is hampered by it being a Wii exclusive?
