Here is a quote:
“He’s an image, and he’s an icon, but he’s not a character anymore,” said Warren Spector, VP and creative director of Junction Point Studios, the Disney division making the game, and the well-respected creator of the far more adult vidgame franchises “Deus Ex,” “Thief: Deadly Shadows” and “System Shock.”
“I want to remind Mickey that he’s a hero — and to be a hero, we need to give him purpose. We need to throw him up against problems worthy of a hero — not just trying to give Pluto a bath,” Spector said. “I want him to be funny. I want him to struggle. I want to ‘age him up’ a little.” But Spector added that the game will enable players to ultimately decide “what makes Mickey cool.”
It is due out early next year according to the article.
