Disney announces Hipster Whale collaboration Disney Crossy Road

Disney and Melbourne studio Hipster Whale have announced at GDC 2016 that they will be collaborating to create Disney Crossy Road.

Based on Hipster Whale's breakout hit Crossy Road, which now boasts more than 120 million downloads, this version will include over 100 Disney and Pixar characters - from the iconic to the obscure - across nine themed worlds.

The pixel art aesthetic wil remain intact, as will the chiptune music.

Additional details are thin on the ground right now, but should be coming soon.
