The bombshell news of the day came from Ron Gilbert, dear Gamers, Monkey Island is coming back! Ron Gilbert, the author of such legends as Grumpy Gamer, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, Day of the Tentacle, and the director of legends such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck;s Revenge, detonated the bomb.
The game, which is being developed in collaboration with Ron Gilbert’s Terrible Toybox studio, Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games, will be released later this year!
Gilbert says the games after Monkey Island 2 don’t belong in his own Monkey Island universe, so he wants to pick up where Monkey Island 2 left off. “Of course that doesn’t mean I won’t steal good ideas or characters from other games,” he joked:)
They’ve been working on this game for two years, so let’s watch this video (and music) over and over again quietly and wait for new details about the game to be announced.
