Persona & Disney: The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

Persona & Disney: The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is an upcoming American-Japanese 2022 role-playing video game adaptation of the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom attraction at Walt Disney World developed by Atlus. It'll be released for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch worldwide at 2022. It is a spin-off of the Persona series (itself a spin-off of the Megami Tensei franchise), and a crossover with multiple Disney franchises including The Lion King, 101 Dalmatians, Lilo & Stitch, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, Fantasia, The Little Mermaid, Hercules, The Sword in the Stone, Lady and the Tramp, DuckTales and The Emperor's New Groove.

Setting
Persona & Disney is set in the Persona universe, set during summer in the year 20XX and revolving around a group of school-age children that can harness Personas, physical manifestations of their inner psyche. Unlike past Persona titles, which were set in Japan, Persona & Disney is set in a modern-day recreation of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, more specifically the Magic Kingdom section of the park, with six lands (Main Street, U.S.A., Froniterland, Tomorrowland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Adventureland) that embody the park. Unknown to the workers and guests at the park, an unforeseen event results in the creation of the Disneylands, a magical realm (similar to the Metaverse in Persona 5 and the Midnight Channel in Persona 4) that acts as a vocal point for the Shadows (physical manifestations of the subconscious twisted desires of humans) of guest visiting the park, along with Disney characters that appeared in the real world as people dressed as costumes, pins, and merchandise. In the Disneylands, guests with corrupted enough desires form their own unique "Kingdom", which is modeled after their negative view of the world, along with a Disney Villain acting as a "Ruler" of the Kingdom possessing a "Treasure" symbolic of the guests desires that connects a Shadow version of themselves with the Ruler who commands a personal army of Shadows. Returning from earlier entries is the Velvet Room, a place that exists for the growth of Persona users that shifts appearance depending on the current guest: in this incarnation, it takes the form of a wizard's cottage.

Plot
Hades, ruler of the Underworld and main villain of Hercules, is bored with the nothingness of the Underworld and decides that the Magic Kingdom park would make a great summer home for him. Unfortunately for Hades, the park is protected by the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom (a powerful artifact that keeps evil forces in check at the park), and its caretaker Merlin (deuteragonist of The Sword in the Stone). Deciding to conquer the park and take out Merlin, Hades sends his henchmen Pain and Panic to steal the Crystal and bring it to him, but they accidentally woke up Merlin and in the ensuing shuffle, the crystal is shattered in several pieces and scattered across the park with the magic of the crystal creating the Disneylands and threatening the balance of the Earth. Angered by his henchmen's mistake but seeing an advantage to take over the park, Hades recruits a army of villains and unknowing but corrupted park guests to help retrieve the crystal shards for him in exchange for a section of the Magic Kingdom; these include Yzma, Cruella De Vil, Radcliff, Mother Gothel, Magica De Spell, Ursula, Jafar, Scar, Dr. Facilier, Maleficent, Zhan Tiri and Hamsterviel.
