Ron Gilbert et Devolver Digital annoncent Return to Monkey Island

The heart rate of point & click enthusiasts around the world has just accelerated. The fault of Ron Gilbert, Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games who have announced the existence of Return to Monkey Island, immediately presented as the legitimate successor of Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge.

In 1990 and 1991, these two points are part of the great names of the kind of nostalgics in the Lucasarts era, or Lucasfilm Games, depending on time. A business return label on the front of the AAA Games with many Star Wars games (not to mention Indiana Jones at Bethesda) but also gave the green light to Ron Gilbert to reconnect with his universe of shifted flibileterie. In preparation in the secret for two years and announced for 2022 on unspecified platforms, Return to Monkey Island is therefore developed by the terrible studio Toybox (with which Ron Gilbert has already released Thimbleweed Park) in partnership with Devolver Digital.

If the MONKEY ISLAND franchise has a total of five games, Return to Monkey Island is the true successor of Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge , namely Only Certified episodes by Ron Gilbert, who finally stored well at the bottom of the hold his promise that he no longer returns to Monkey Island unless the intellectual property recovered. "All games after Monkey Island 2 do not exist in my Monkey Island universe," had also launched the author in a 2013 interview.

You understood it, for many, this day will remain like the announcement of Monkey Island 3, especially as Dave Grossman (Author), Michael Land (Music) and Dominic Armato (Voice of Guybrush Threepwood) are also from the party to ensure filiation. Lack of the call Tim Schafer, for contractual reasons that can be imagined. And if it is not mentioned in the announcement, let us add that Rex Crowle (LittleBigplanet, Tearaway, Knights and Bikes) is none other than the artistic director of the project.
