According to Sega’s Mai Kawaguchi, Castle of Illusion HD will have features that were simply not possible with the 8-bit console in 1990.
”We have also been working very closely with the director of the original game, who is now at Disney Interactive. We are having a blast working with her to realize many of the elements that were intended for the original game, but couldn’t be achieved until now due to the technical limitations of previous generation consoles,” stated Kawaguchi, “If you have played the original game, you will also see that we have kept intact many of the major iconic elements of the game that helped define this groundbreaking game at the time of its original release.”
The game will be released this Summer 2013 on Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Check out the teaser trailer in the video below.
