Disney announces Pixel RPG for mobile

Pre-registration is open now in Japan

Disney Interactive and GungHo Entertainment have announced Disney Pixel RPG.

The game, which will be free to play, is open to registration for players with a Japanese Apple account and on the Google Play Store. It’s currently unknown when the game will be open for pre-registration for players outside of Japan.

It is typical for mobile games to soft launch in select regions before being made available globally.

“Suddenly, an unknown program appears in the game world where Disney characters live and begins to destroy the world!” reads a passage on the game’s Japanese website.

“Due to a strange phenomenon, game worlds that should not be able to travel between are now connected, causing chaos for the Disney characters!”

The site also notes that while the game will be free, some items will require payment, suggesting the game will include microtransactions.

Characters confirmed for the game based on the website are Pooh, from Winnie the Pooh, Genie from Aladdin, Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Classic Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck will also be included. Players will design their own avatars using costume pieces inspired by Disney characters.
