Remake of Disney Game in the Works | Game Rant
Disney has a wide variety of gaming IP's under its belt, both original and based off of its iconic existing properties. Yet, there are also properties like Kingdom Hearts that blend the two. And, if listings are correct, one of its gaming IP's is about to get a remake from developer PlayMagic.
Indeed, PlayMagic will be remaking two new titles for all major consoles and PC. One of the titles is generically listed as an unannounced "3rd person Action Remake for Ps4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac." Meanwhile, the other remake is described as an "Action Game Remake for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac" of a Disney IP.
YouTuber Doctre81 speculates that the third-person action game remake could be a remake of Alan Wake, which debuted in 2010. Further, this could be a likely scenario, as the publishing rights for Alan Wake had been reacquired by Remedy Entertainment. Thus, the inspiration to make another Alan Wake game, remake or not, may have arisen.
As for the remake of a Disney action game IP, it is more difficult to discern what this could be. One might be tempted to believe that this is referring to a remake of the first Kingdom Hearts, though this scenario is unlikely, given that there already exists a remake of Kingdom Hearts on Xbox One and PS4 in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix. As such, it does make one wonder what the IP could be.
As Doctre81 points out, Disney has a lot of IPs. Most recently, this was indicated by the retro editions of The Lion King and the Disney's Aladdin games. Its catalog reaches fairly far back as well, as the company has decades' worth of gaming content.
On a broader scale, it is interesting that Disney games are getting remakes at all. Given Disney's stated disinterest in publishing video games, it comes as a bit of surprise that games such as the aforementioned The Lion King, Disney's Aladdin, and PlayMagic's upcoming remake are being developed at all.
Whatever the case may be, hopefully, gamers will find out which Disney action game is getting a remake soon. Perhaps we'll be made aware come The Game Awards on December 12.
