Disney’s Aladdin and The Lion King games get HD remasters this year

It looks like the retro games will be getting a two-game remaster collection this Fall

It looks like fans of Disney’s The Lion King and Aladdin platformers from way back in the nineties are in for a treat – the games are reportedly getting HD remasters later this year on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. It appears that the news was shared at GameStop Con and now an image seemingly confirming the remasters has surfaced online.

As reported by Gematsu, the announcement was first revealed by user @wolverinefactor on Twitter, who said that the Lion King and Aladdin HD Remasters, just announced at GameStop Con, would be coming in October, and that they’d “include the original soundtracks and Genesis/Snes versions.” YouTuber GameXplain then seemingly confirmed their release in a video, which includes a picture of a presentation screen announcing the remasters – a two-game collection – as “coming Fall.”

Gematsu reports that a separate source has also corroborated this news with the site, and provided some extra information on the story to it.
