David Housden scores Disney Illusion Island
Award‑nominated composer David Housden has received widespread acclaim for his enchanting original soundtrack to Disney Illusion Island, a role‑playing platform adventure of magic and whimsy released by Disney Electronic Content. His work has earned special praise for its imaginative orchestration and emotional resonance, complementing the game’s nostalgic yet fresh visual style.
Originally released for Nintendo Switch on July 28, 2023, with subsequent arrival on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025, Disney Illusion Island features a visually lush, co‑op platforming adventure starring Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy as they explore Monoth Island to recover the mystical Tomes of Knowledge.
Critics and players alike have highlighted Housden’s score as a standout element. Game Informer called it “one of the best musical scores of the year".
