Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Preorders Are Officially Live
Disney Epic Mickey launched on Nintendo Wii way back in 2010. Now, nearly 15 years later, the game is getting a second life on Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X with Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a faithful reimagining of the old 3D platformer, complete with new abilities, enhanced graphics, and improved controls. The game doesn’t have a release date beyond “2024,” but preorders are already open at a variety of retailers.
Here’s a look at Epic Mickey: Rebrushed preorders, including all available editions and preorder bonuses. While you’re waiting for the game to launch, consider biding your time with Disney Illusion Island–which is every bit as visually stunning as Epic Mickey but lets three other players join in on the platforming action.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed preorder bonus
At this time, there are no announced preorder bonuses for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. This could change once the game gets a firm release date, and we could also see retailer-exclusive bonuses at places like Best Buy and GameStop. We’ll update this article as soon as any new details are revealed.

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a big deal not just for being a new version of the classic Wii adventure on modern platforms, but also because it marks the first time the game will be available since the original was delisted from digital storefronts almost five years ago. Rebrushed seems to maintain the core gameplay, story, and art direction of the original game, while offering revitalized graphics and controls that developer Purple Lamp hopes will help the upcoming remake appeal to modern players.
Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed launches for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2024.
You’ve Never Seen Weird Al Like This: UHF Finally Comes To 4K Blu-ray
The 1989 cult comedy classic UHF, starring a young Wierd Al Yankovic, is finally getting the 4K Blu-ray treatment this summer to coincide with its 35th anniversary. The new release will include plenty of special features to enjoy along with the new 4K remastering. UHF’s 4K Blu-ray version drops on July 2, but you can preorder your copy now at Amazon.
$40
This 4K Blu-ray release includes both 4K and standard Blu-ray discs, with both discs featuring a completely new scan of the film from the original negative. Otherwise, the special features have largely been re-used from the previous home video releases: the audio commentary with Weird Al and the director, video from a retrospective panel at Comic-Con 2014, deleted scenes, Easter eggs and more.
$28
If you enjoyed UHF, you’ll almost certainly have a similarly good time with Weird: The Al Yankovich story, which stars Daniel Radcliffe in a completely made-up version of Weird Al’s life story. This release includes special features like an audio commentary from Weird Al and director Eric Appel, deleted and alternate scenes, featurettes, and video interviews with the cast.
This flick is currently a Walmart exclusive, though it’ll be available at Amazon and other retailers on July 2 for $40.
In UHF, Weird Al Yankovich plays the manager of a struggling local TV station, Channel 62, who manages to juice the ratings by putting on a bunch of random weird and stupid shows. When this tactic works spectacularly, a bigger rival station takes notice and then tries to take over Channel 62, leading to all sorts of fun hijinks. The movie has maintained a cult following in the 35 years since its release and is also notable as Yankovic’s first–and only–leading role in a movie.
A bunch of other cult flicks is getting 4K Blu-ray releases soon, including the American live-action version of the tokusatsu classic The Guyver and the often-overlooked RoboCop 2. Meanwhile, fans of irreverent comedies can preorder the upcoming 4K versions of The South Park Movie and Team America: World Police.
Preorder The Limited Edition Of Oliver Stone’s Vietnam Classic Platoon On Amazon
Oliver Stone’s 1987 anti-war epic Platoon, about the horrors of Vietnam, is getting a new, limited-edition release on 4k Blu-ray. The Platoon Limited 4K Steelbool edition will be available on June 4, but preorders are live now and discounted to just $28 at Amazon (normally $40).
$28 (was $40)
This isn’t the first time Platoon has seen a 4k re-release, but this limited-edition package will definitely look a little nicer on your shelf. It includes audio commentary tracks by writer-director Oliver Stone and military adviser Dale Dye, deleted and extended scenes, and documentaries about the production.
The best part, though, is that the Platoon Limited Edition is on sale in this preorder, down 30% from its usual price of $40. It’s eligible for Amazon Prime, and if the price drops further before its release on June 4, Amazon will automatically give you the better price.
$24
If you’d rather not wait for the new release, the earlier 4k version of the movie, Platoon – Collector’s Edition, is also available on Amazon for a little less–just $24–and it’s also Prime-eligible. While this version has different cover art and lacks the special steelbook case, it features many of the same special features as the new limited edition.
If you’re looking to fill out your classic war movie collection, Amazon also has deals on a selection of other 4K Blu-rays. Check out the list below.

Tetris And 7-Eleven Are Releasing A Handheld Gaming Device Together
Tetris and 7-Eleven have revealed that they are working on several merchandise products together, including one called the Slurpee + Tetris Handheld Game Device.
According to the product description on 7-Eleven’s website, it features an officially licensed Tetris title that plays in full-color on a 1.8 inch screen. It also has a built-in speaker with volume control. The device is powered by three AAA batteries or a USB-C cable.
It’ll cost $30 and there isn’t a set release date yet–the page only says that it’s “Coming Soon.” It also seems like the product is only going to be available in the United States, and it’s unclear if it’ll come to other regions as well. In addition to the game device, this collaboration also includes t-shirts, hoodies, hats, tote bags, and stickers.
Companies collaborating with video games have always been common. Most recently, Uniqlo worked with Nintendo to create a line of Zelda apparel, and Balenciaga collaborated with Fortnite a few years ago.

Escape From Tarkov Rival Receives First Hotfix Updates Following Early Access Launch
Gray Zone Warfare, a new extraction shooter in the same vein of Escape From Tarkov, has received its first updates following its recent Steam Early Access launch, with two hotfixes looking to address some of the biggest issues players have encountered so far.
Hotfix 1 released the same day as the game’s release, and fixed various problems causing server crashes, anti-cheat issues that were preventing players from joining servers, and a bug that caused players to spawn without head, clothes, or the ability to secure containers.
Now Playing: Gray Zone Warfare | Official Early Access Launch Trailer
Hotfix 2 released May 2, addressing GPU-related game crashes and adding the ability to wipe characters, after which players are able to go through character creation and choose a faction once again. The wipes are irreversible, developer Madfinger Games warns.
Despite the attempts of Hotfix 1, players are still reporting various spawn issues like spawning without a head or clothes. Madfinger Game’s stated on X that it’s actively working on a solution.
Despite “Mixed” reviews on Steam, Gray Zone Warfare is certainly the game of the moment. It’s currently the top-selling game on Steam, with Madfinger announcing more than 400,000 copies have been sold so far. It’s also rising up the Steam top-played charts. As of writing it’s just shy of breaking into the top-20 games on the platform in terms of concurrent players.
Much like Escape From Tarkov, Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical FPS where players drop into a warzone and battle both against NPCs and other players in an attempt to extract with gear and loot. Players can choose to join one of three different PMC factions, but be warned: only players on the same faction can team up. Thankfully, players can now re-select their faction via the character wipe function added with the latest hotfix.
Gray Zone Warfare’s popularity is only being helped by recent controversy surrounding Escape From Tarkov, which has seen its community turn against it following unpopular announcements from developer BattleState Games. The embattled developer attempted to sell exclusive access to PvE mode for Escape From Tarkov as part of a $250 edition of the game, despite owners of a previous edition being promised all future DLC.
BattleState Games has since walked back its initial plans and apologized, with the developer stating it didn’t “foresee” the negative reaction to locking Tarkov’s PvE mode behind a $250 paywall. The studio is now attempting to win back players by offering the PvE mode for free (but granting access to it in waves) and removing a controversial perk of the $250 edition, priority matchmaking. Whether or not BattleState’s apology resonates still remains to be seen, but it seems many players are eager to move on to greener pastures, and for many that means giving Gray Zone Warfare a try.
