A Disney newsletter has appeared to accidentally let it slip that Epic Mickey 2 is set for a 2012 release.

The newsletter, which was linked to from StitchKingdom.com had information about the game, though as of 10 a.m. PT, the newsletter has been altered to remove the reference to Epic Mickey 2.

Below is what the official newsletter said earlier today:

“Disney Epic Mickey 2 is the latest game in the critically acclaimed Disney Epic Mickey videogame series. In this all-new action-platforming game available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, Mickey embarks on an epic journey and is pulled back into a world filled with Disney’s forgotten characters. Players can choose to play single-player as Mickey or for the first time players can also choose 2-player split screen mode. In the 2 player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit – Walt Disney’s first cartoon star – with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges. Team-up and choose your path to save this forgotten world because the choices you make will alter the story and change the end of the game!”

Seems like an awful not of info for just being an untrue statement from Disney.

Only time will tell.
