Disney has just released a new mobile game called Disney Princess: Charmed Adventures, and it is free to download.

Featuring Belle, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Ariel, this all-new adventure allows players to explore worlds from each princess’ respective films. Charmed Adventures starts players out as Rapunzel’s playing through the scenes from Tangled, and for an additional few dollars, players can expand their game by adding the adventures from The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog, and Beauty and the Beast. The game even features voice work from Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Jodi Benson (Ariel), and Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), sorry Belle, Paige O’Hara didn’t make a return for this game.

Throughout Disney Princess: Charmed Adventures players explore worlds by interacting in mini-games and activities that will unlock charms for players to customize their digital charm bracelets. Once a bracelet has been customized, you can take photographs of it and save them to your phone’s camera roll. Each world features a unique set of charms, and the better the player preform in tasks, the more charms they will unlock, similar to the three-star rating system that most mobile games utilize.

Disney Princess: Charmed Adventures is out now on the App Store and Google Play Store. Rapunzel’s world is free to play, while the additional adventure packs can be purchased individually for $3.99, or $14.99 for a bundle which includes all the adventure packs and some of the charm packs. Charm packs can also be purchased separately and range from $1.99 to $2.99.

It looks like another Disney game will be bitting the dust this year, as Star Wars: Uprising was officially announced to be shutting down.

Developer Kabam made the announcement on their website, where the following statement was released,

“While Star Wars: Uprising was enjoyed by a great community of players since its launch, the game is no longer achieving the level of success needed to maintain the game and the decision was made to discontinue support.”

The servers will officially be turned off on November 17 for both iOS and Android versions of the game. Additionally, effective immediately players can no longer make in-game purchases anymore.

If you happen to have any currency for the game lingering in your account, Kabam is offering to provide players with an equal amount of currency in Marvel: Contest of Champions, one of their other mobile games.

Star Wars: Uprising was essentially a Action-RPG, similar to popular dungeon crawler Diablo. The events of the game took place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

Clear up some storage on your phone because Disney has just released another mobile game. Disney Enchanted Tales is a new free-to-play game available now for iOS and Android that let’s players create their own unique kingdoms.

The game features stories, worlds, and characters from Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and Frozen. Essentially players choose one story at the beginning of their  journey and once the tale has been competed, they can move on to the next one. Throughout the game, players will encounter characters such as Belle, Gaston, Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Anna, Prince Hans, and more. As players complete quests, their kingdoms will expand and make room for new landmarks such as Beast’s Castle or Rapunzel’s Tower.

In standard mobile game fashion, Disney Enchanted Tales offers in-app purchases that will provide players with in-game currency that can be used in a number of ways. Disney Enchanted Tales shares similarities with the recent Disney Magic Kingdoms released back in March. The basic mechanics are the same, only now players can experience more fleshed out stories and build lands specifically themed to Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and Frozen. Over time, the game will be updated with additional characters, items, and landmarks.

Disney Enchanted Tales is out now on the App Store and Google Play.

A new mobile game called Moana Island Life is coming to iOS and Android in the near future, and for those living in Canada the game is out now.

The game appeared on the Canada iTunes store yesterday and has been available for download since. It is not uncommon for apps to release in the Canadian market first. Usually this is the publishers way of testing the game, whether it be for player feedback or bug testing. Disney has yet to officially announce a release date for other markets, but it is safe to assume the game will be out before the movie hits theaters this Thanksgiving.

The game seems to be another kingdom builder, but with a stronger emphasis on exploration and resource mining. Players can grow and harvest crops, trade with villagers, complete quests, and explore new worlds by setting sail throughout Oceania.

Stay tuned for any updates regarding the release of Moana Island Life.

Disney Magical World 2 is coming out sooner than expected. During Nintendo’s recent Direct, the date for Magical World 2 was moved up to October 14, so you’ll be able to play it in just a few short weeks.

Also announced, players that choose to pre-order the game (both digitally and physically) will receive some bonus outfits. Olaf, Anna, and Elsa costumes will be rewarded to those that pre-order the game, and pre-orders are already being accepted. Check out the picture below to get a glimpse of the costumes.

At the end of the announcement, Nintendo mentioned that new Disney themes would be making their way to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. 

It looks like there’s some fun and new Disney related content on the way for Nintendo 3DS owners, which will be a nice break from all the mobile content.

It appears that Disney cancelled two Epic Mickey spin-offs in 2012 before closing developer Junction Point. Unfortunately, this would not go on to be an isolated incident (R.I.P. Disney Infinity).

The first game was titled Epic Donald, and it seems like it would have been similar to Epic Mickey, only featuring Donald Duck as the main character. Concept art for the game was revealed by Disney comic artist Patrick Block, who posted the images and answered questions regarding the game on the Assembler Games forums.

“In 2012 I had the very great pleasure and honor of working with Warren Spector and Junction Point on the follow up to Disney’s Epic Mickey and Epic Mickey II,” said Block on the forums. “The game was to feature Donald Duck, Duckburg, and the associated classic world clan. I worked hard on a “Carl Barks” based Duckburg, pulling scenes of the town from his comics and doing my best to keep a 1950’s feeling spirit about the game world.”

The game was ultimately cancelled due to Disney’s shift to mobile gaming. It is too bad that we never got to see this game, though in all fairness, we did get Disney Infinity the following year.

The second game was titled Epic Disney Racers, and would have been a kart racer that featured a similar two character system akin to Mario Kart: Double Dash. Little else was known about this game, and few pieces of art exist for the game, but one can only imagine how cool it could have been.

A new Zootopia themed puzzle solving game is now available for mobile devices, titled Zootopia Crime Files: Hidden Object.

Think iSpy, but in Zootopia. Players will help Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde discover items at various crime scenes, then use their findings to arrest criminals. The game is free-to-play and offers many unlockables that reward players as they progress.

Zootopia Crime Files: Hidden Object is available now on the App Store, Google Play, Amazon, and Windows.

Alright, I am officially convinced that Disney is using the cuteness of Tsum Tsums to take over the world. Marvel Tsum Tsum is out now for iOS and Android users, and beware, this game manages to make you believe super heroes are adorable.

https://https://youtu.be/Q6ARzDfC3uc

Developed by NHN PlayArt Corp., this little match-three puzzle game plays very similarly to the Disney Tsum Tsum app that has been out for a while now. However in this game, you get to play as all your favorite Marvel super heroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Spider-Man, etc.

Of course the game has all the classic hooks of a mobile game. Play to unlock more missions, unlock tons of new characters, be tempted to make in-app purchases. It’s been done before, but it is still a lot of fun. Marvel Tsum Tsum also features a multiplayer battle mode, where players can team up to fight little chibi variants of Marvel villains.

The game is free to download and is available right now in the United States and Canada on both the App Store and Google Play.

According to a video posted by Twitter user InfiniteerAdventures, Avatar figures were in the concept phase for Disney Infinity.

As usual, the team at Avalanche managed to seamlessly marry the world of Avatar with the art style of Disney Infinity. It is important to note that unlike many of the recent cancelled figures that have surfaced, these figures were only in the concept phase. There is no guarantee that these figures would have ever made their way to market.

Another interesting thing to note, these figures would have marked the first time a non-Disney property made its way into Disney Infinity. Of course Avatar would make sense due to the upcoming Avatar Land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Perhaps these figures would have been released along with the opening of the new land at Disney’s park. It would have been the first time that Disney used a new Disney Infinity release to market the parks.

For a full look at the concept art, check out InfiniteerAdventures video below!
