Monkey Island Returning This Year! Report

On April 4th this year something magical dropped on YouTube – a trailer for a Money Island game. The game, called Return to Monkey Island, is to release later this very year. The game is even being produced by Ron Gilbert himself, who of course is known for creating the two first Monkey Island games.

Not much is known about the new game as of yet. The game is a collaboration between Gilbers own company, Terrible Toybox Studio, and Disneys Lucasfilm Games and will be published by Devolver Digital.

The game is made in the same artstyle as the two old classic Monkey Island games, and voice actor of Guybrush Threepwood Dominic Armato returns to do the voicing. Sadly Earl Boen, the original voice of LeChuck will not make a return due to his old age.
