Trust in me
It’s a day, which means it’s the perfect time for the Entertainment Standards Ratings Board (ESRB) to leak the existence of an as-yet-unannounced release. Today, the surprise belongs to Nighthawk Interactive and The House of Mouse, with the reveal ofDisney Classic Games Collection.
According to the listing, the new package — rated for PS4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch — contains three classic platforms from the 16-bit era of Disney Interactive. The collection will include 1993’sAladdinandThe Jungle Book, as well as 1994’sThe Lion King. Of course, bothAladdinandThe Lion Kingwere re-released back in late-2019 asDisney Classic Games, so what a treat for fans who purchased that package to have to buy it again, only now featuring the adventures of Mowgli, Baloo, Shere Khan — years before they decided to start up an aero-nautical shipping firm.
Neither Disney nor Nighthawk Interactive has officially confirmed the new collection, but we’ll be sure to let you know once either studio shows its hand.Disney Classic Gamesreceived a selection of special releasesfrom boutique outlet iam8bit, so it’s possible thatDisney Classic Games Collectionmight be afforded the same prestige. Either that, or it will just get a fairly simple vanilla release featuring only the bare necessities. Either way, we’ll keep you informed.
