The existence of Junction Point and Disney’s Epic Mickey, being headed by Deus Ex originator, Warren Spector, was originally leaked in the form of concept art that thrilled fans with its Tim Burton-esque aesthetic. When Disney officially revealed Epic Mickey via screenshots in the following months, however, the general consensus from the gaming public was that the in-game graphical style was too far detached from the groundwork laid by the game’s fantastic concepts gallery, in that it lacked the eerie feel that fans had come to expect.
Those cries may not have gone unheard at Junction Point. According to a rumour at French games site, Gamekyo, Epic Mickey will be presented at E3 this year with an art style that resembles its pre-production concept work more closely. With the supposed reveal only two weeks away, we’ll find out just how much progress Junction Point have made soon enough.
