Preview: Is Epic Mickey on its way?

While there are a few great older Mickey Mouse titles, Disney showed that they could truly embrace more mature subject when it teamed up with Square Enix to bring Kingdom Hearts to the world. Now, it looks like Disney may be dreaming up the next iteration of that lovable mouse.

Disney Interactive Studios recently leaked that is is about to reveal an "iconic new title" on Oct. 28 in London.


Speculations abound, but many publications seem to think that this may be the Epic Mickey that was recently teased in some artwork a few months ago.

Epic Mickey, which is rumored to be worked on by Warren Spector, will feature Mickey in a new steampunk-style platforming adventure.

Disney has already done what many people thought was impossible, mixing childhood icons with Final Fantasy, so the idea of a steampunk mouse adventure doesn't really seem that implausible, does it?

    While the steampunk genre has indeed expanded over the years, I believe — from the concept art — that Epic Mickey would fall in the steampunk category of clockpunk.
