Heads up, everyone; DuckTales: Remastered is leaving digital storefronts in a duck-blur, and will no longer be available for purchase beginning August 8th, 2019. If you’ve already purchased it in the past or if you buy it before the dates and times below, you’ll still be able to access and play the game.

Pogo jump your way into Scrooge’s Money Bin while you can! DuckTales: Remastered is getting a farewell price drop for 75% off on most platforms before it gets removed for purchase.

The game will be digitally available on the following platforms until:

Wii U – August 9, 4:59 PM PDT
PlayStation 3 – August 9, 8AM PDT
Xbox 360, Xbox One (via Backwards Compatibility) – August 8, 5 PM PDT
Steam (PC) – 4:59 PM PDT

Disc-based versions of the game will install and play normally, and if you’ve already bought the game digitally, you’ll still be able to re-download it even after it’s removed, too. The times above are approximate, so please don’t wait until the last minute if you want to purchase the game digitally while it’s still available. So, get out there and solve a mystery, or re-write history!

Dunno why no specific date is given for the Steam version's delistment, but otherwise, this is the list of dates/times by which each version will be delisted. Be sure to pick it up while you still can, if you are interested!

Thanks for the heads up.

At least you can still get the physical releases.

That's too bad, it was a good remaster.

The original is still available in the Disney Afternoon Collection pack at least.

Good to know! I might actually pick up a physical copy right away. I have it digitally on my 360 but I doubt I’ll ever boot up that console again. Which of course contradicts my need for a physical copy anyway, lol. But it’s one of those games that will be lost in history in a few years so it couldn’t hurt to own the disc...

That Castle of Illusion remake, for example, is gone, right? Can’t be bought anywhere? It bothers me a lot, and I didn’t even like it half as much as Ducktales (which was excellent imo!)

Actually, the Castle of Illusion remake was brought back only a couple of months after its delisting and is still available. It's a very weird situation, especially since there was never an official explanation given; presumably SEGA/Disney chose to renew the rights for a bit longer but nobody really knows WHY that happened.. Hopefully, something similar will happen here.

This was a pretty great remake. Though it's got wayyyy too much stopping the action to let the characters talk. I know they wanted to get their money out of the VAs but jeez.

That was fixed in a patch sometime after the initial release.

'Course, if the game vanishes from digital storefronts forever, those with the physical release will never get that patch again. So it goes.

Is the physical release and actual physical release or just a Steam code in box?

X360, PS3 and Wii U versions come with a disc at least, not sure about PC.
