The internet detectives are out at full force today, with the finding of a resumé entry and leak of concept art for what appears to be steampunk-style take on Disney's Mickey Mouse franchise, codenamed "Epic Mickey". Adding fuel to the fire is the possibility that Warren Spector's (Deux Ex) studio, Junction Point Studios, is developing the title.
Superannutation had originally come across a resumé for one Tony Pulham, who is working on "designing and painting concept artwork" for an "Epic Mickey" Wii video game. Superannutation had also come across concept art by way of the artist Fred Gambino, which are attached to this article.
Eurogamer has done some extra sleuthing, so head to the source to get the full rundown of all the known information.
Evidence has emerged that Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios is working on a game codenamed "Epic Mickey" for the Wii, offering a dark, steampunk-style take on Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom.
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.

Why do people like you take digs at Kingdom Hearts whenever the bloody chance appears? F off.
However this game looks like it has the chance to be just as good as Kingdom Hearts depending on how the game goes, please don't make it a FPS though >_
And now they come up with a Disneyland in Hell kinda game, how awesome!
If this turns out true, this may well turn out to be one of the best games of the generation.
On the otherhand hype is bad, and there's a lot of room to go wrong.
