​

Initially presumed to be an April Fools' joke, Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games have formally revealed Return to Monkey Island, a sequel to the point and click series from the 1990s. The development will be handled by Terrible Toybox, a company created by Ron Gilbert, who wrote and directed The Secret of Monkey Island. Dave Grossman, who also worked on the original game, will be a part of the staff. No platforms were given, though the game is set for a release later this year.

I remember playing Monkey Island back in the day on the Atari ST and on the Amiga 500, such fun point and click games.

Leisure Suit Larry another classic point and click did really well too recently so this is another nice addition to see.

Oh damn!! So freakin awesome!!
I've been waiting on this for too many years years!

 

[JaapDaniels]

Man!
A dream to come true!
Finally!

I played the original one for the first time when they released the remake. To anybody who doesn't have the nostalgia, I will say that the impact can be quite limited... the humor is not as razor-sharp as people would have you believe. Still, I wish success to this new take on the series.

STFU an take my money... Twice.

Looking forward to it! A remake of Curse of Monkey Island would be great too tell them! (They can skip the Tales of episodes though!)

The name of this game simply remembered me of the Monkey Island in japan being renamed in honor for one piece
It is now the Monkey D. Island

Wooo! I can't wait! So happy Dominic Armato is also returning to voice Guybrush. :3

Holy fuck I can't believe it's a real Monkey Island game being made by Ron Gilbert and co. Dream come true for this fogey

Plant a tree, marry a woman, grow up a child, finish all Monkey Island games.

Hype. Monkey Island is my kind of jam, so many good memories.

 

[AngryCinnabon]

I guess the "-fools" part was us not believing this was a real thing eh?

Very hyped regardless!

The skull dialogue is a reference to the list me thinks.

I'm too excited to put into words. LeChuck's Revenge will always be my favourite but it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know this series is still alive.

I wouldn't mind another Day of the Tentacle or Full Throttle.

 

[DoctorDizzyspin]

That's so cool! I can't wait for this to come out! I played the remake of the game when I was younger (Older siblings grew up with the original), and in 2020, I went ahead and played through the entire series. Really excited for Ron Gilbert to come back, and for this game to come out!

 

[Axmand]

Wonder if this a reboot or its take place between others Monkey Island games, or a continue from the last one???...

 

[eyeliner]

Isn't this a sequel for the first game only?
As in, ignores what came after?

Ron Gilbert left after LeChuck's Revenge, so one might assume this was basically his vision for MI3. He did say on Twitter that MI3, at least, is still canon.

time to get out my old TOMI games and do a marathon anticipation of this!
