Disney Illusion Island is an upcoming platformer game developed by Dlala Studios and featured in recent Nintendo Directs. It is a 2D platformer inspired by search action platformers such as Metroid, but with a focus on platforming rather than combat. Creative Director AJ Grand-Scrutton said it has been influenced by classic ’90s Mickey games, as well as modern titles like Rayman Legends. The game is set in an open world and players will need to unlock abilities to progress. Combat is not present in the game, as it was decided it didn’t fit with the story and characters. Disney supports this decision and the focus is on the joy of movement and mastering the platforming mechanics.
