Disney Interactive has just announced a new addition to Disney Illusion Island—a free update that introduces the Cave Adventuring Scavenger Hunt, cleverly abbreviated as C.A.S.H.
With a little help from Scrooge McDuck and a brand-new ability called “Dig! C.A.S.H.,” players can embark on a quest to find permanent upgrades. Mark your calendars for May 30, 2025, because that’s when this update drops—not only adding new content but also expanding the game beyond its Nintendo Switch exclusivity by launching it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
If you haven’t tried it yet, Disney Illusion Island is a 2D co-op platformer. You’ll set out with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy to explore the enigmatic island of Monoth. The mission? To reclaim the three mystical Tomes that once safeguarded the island and prevent impending doom.
Developed by Dlala Studios, the same team that revamped the Battletoads for Xbox One and Windows PC, the game offers an immersive experience with the authentic voices of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy, coupled with an original orchestral score. You’ve got the option to tackle the adventure solo or join forces with up to three friends in local co-op, unlocking special team strategies like Rope Drop, Leap Frog, and a heartwarming Hug to assist in rescuing the island.
Our evaluation of the game led to an impressive 8 out of 10 score, with Ryan Janes sharing his thoughts in the review: “Disney Illusion Island might not shake up the classic Metroidvania formula nor provide a particularly tough challenge, but it executes its elements remarkably well. My wife and I were grinning from ear to ear throughout the six-hour experience, thanks to its vibrant worlds, engaging platform puzzles, magical soundtrack, and delightful dialogue between the four main characters. Disney enthusiasts will find joy in every aspect of this game, and anyone seeking a relaxed, easy-going adventure won’t be disappointed either.”
For those eager to dive in, Disney Illusion Island is currently available both in stores and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, accessible worldwide.
