Disney Illusion Island launched exclusively to Switch in 2023 to positive reviews, and now other platform owners can indulge in Mickey & Co.’s platforming adventure this May. An expanded version of the title is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
This new version is dubbed Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends. Like the original version, one to four players team up as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy to traverse three biomes in Monoth, an original world created for this adventure. The non-violent platformer challenges players to topple bosses using their heads in puzzle-like encounters, and exploration can unearth plenty of collectibles.
New to this version is Cave Adventuring Scavenger Hunt, which lets players hunt for permanent upgrades with help from Scrooge McDuck and a new ability called Dig! C.A.S.H. The game also includes previously released post-launch updates such as Mystery in Monoth, a detective-style side story with new levels, and the time-trial mode Keeper Up.
We scored the original Disney Ilusion Island an 8.5 out of 10, with editor Wesley LeBlanc writing in his review, “I would have liked more challenge; this is a simple adventure that might not capture the interest of platformer enthusiasts with little to no preoccupation with Disney. But when met on its own terms, it’s hard to deny Illusion Island is a jubilant love letter to these characters and platforming.”
Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends launches on May 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
