More evidence has surfaced which lends credence to the rumor from last year that Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios is currently working on a dark Mickey Mouse adventure game for Disney.

Eurogamer has run a piece which gathers up all of the clues and hints so far; in December of last year, we ran a news item which suggested "Epic Mickey" was indeed being handled by Spector's studio.
Most of the evidence comes from the rumour-hunter's faithful friend - concept artists' websites - and appears to corroborate a Gamasutra report from late last year that first identified the "Epic Mickey" codename.

Tireless digger Superannuation has turned up the website of concept artist Tony Pulham, whose resumé reveals he recently joined Junction Point to work on "Epic Mickey", and identifies it as a Wii game.
Concept art from Epic Mickey has also popped up on artist Fred Gambino's personal website (see the shot below, and follow the link to his site for more.)

Messed up sea transportation.

Eurogamer also points out that in an interview with Edge from 2006, Spector said "I did some concept work on a license with a media company that was very cartoony, and boy, we did some great work."



Bryn says: With so much mounting evidence it's hard to not believe the rumor that Epic Mickey is indeed underway at Junction Point Studios. Those concept art stills are pretty awesome -- I especially like the one with the rotting whale and broken-down Epcot Center.
