Mickey Mouse gets Lethal Company-style horror game as trademark enters public domain Nightmare Forge GamesIt hasn\u2019t taken long since an early version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain for a new Lethal Company-style horror game to feature the classic cartoon character. With multiple versions of iconic Disney characters entering the public domain lately, fans have been quick to turn these beloved properties on their head. However, while Winnie the Pooh made waves in the horror movie industry, there haven\u2019t been many games capitalizing on this opportunity. That is until now, as Nightmare Forge Games has announced a new, co-op horror game featuring the most iconic of Disney\u2019s cast of characters. Hunt Mickey Mouse with your friends as the character enters public domain The announcement came today as Nightmare Forge Games released the trailer for Infestation 88, an upcoming game that pits players against Mickey Mouse himself. The game looks to function similarly to Lethal Company, the hit co-op game from Zeekerss, as players team up to hunt down a monstrous Mickey Mouse before he takes them out first. As explained in the game\u2019s press release: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to reveal Infestation 88, our upcoming co-op horror game inspired by Steamboat Willie that blends nostalgia with terror.\u201d They go on to mention that, \u201cWith Steamboat Willie just entering the public domain\u2026 we expect this game to continue drawing significant attention worldwide.\u201d This is important to know, as this version of Mickey Mouse is not the most current one that players may be familiar with. Instead, the game is based off of the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse, the 1928 short that is regarded as the true debut of the character. This short, and its versions of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, have just entered the public domain, which means that the developers are able to make this game with the characters. There have been a handful of Disney characters who have entered public domain recently, resulting in them being used in horror-focused projects. The most well-known of these projects is Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, the 2023 slasher film starring Pooh and Piglet as the killers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
