Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life. suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. Hopefully, more news and details about it come soon.Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. While it's still early days to say if it will be any good, the fact that it's coming will be enough to make fans glad. After more than a decade since the last release in the series, no one was expecting it to be a thing. To say that Return to Monkey Island comes as a surprise would be an understatement. For now, you can check its official websites for more news and updates in the future.

The same can be said about when it will officially come out as the game hinted at nothing more than a planned 2022 release window. While the announcement of Return to Monkey Island will please a lot of fans, there really isn't much information to go on apart from a minute-long teaser trailer. Apart from its updated graphics and art style, it will still (presumably) feature the classic point-and-click adventure with a wide cast of characters to meet and interact with, as well as various quests and mysteries to take on. The story centers around the misadventures of Guybrush Ulysses Threepwood, a clumsy pirate who has aspirations of becoming the most notorious throughout the seas.Īfter more than twenty years since the release of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, comes the surprise follow-up aptly called Return to Monkey Island, picking up where the story left off.

Each title took place in fictional islands in the Caribbean around the Golden Age of Piracy. Monkey Island is a classic video game series by LucasArts that kicked things off with the first release, The Secret of Monkey Island, in 1990.
