“Having been part of this from the earliest beginnings of the creative idea, all those years ago, I can’t wait to see new players discover this enduring classic on modern consoles,” said Luigi Priore, V.P. of Disney, Pixar and 20th Century Games. “We are excited that fans of the original will also get to relive their own experiences wielding the paintbrush and thinner once again.”
