Release Date and Details for Return to Monkey Island
Monkey Island has been gone for twelve years. The most loved point-and-click adventure game has vanished without a trace. This was until the announcement of Return To Monkey Island in 2011. We have all the details about the return to the world of pirates, including release dates, and treasure, so please read on, mateys. There are many other pirate-related puns, but they are all ridiculous.
What is Return to Monkey Island?
Monkey Island, a series of point-and-click games, is a classic. It puts you in Guybrush Threepwood’s shoes, a useless pirate who wants to be the most famous and well-known pirate in all of the Caribbean. He also has to deal with LeChuck, an evil undead pirate who is his true love, Governor Elaine Marley. They are beloved for their ability to combine humour with immersive gameplay seamlessly and for being primarily games that make you laugh. They often break the fourth wall and make fun of the fact that they are playing a videogame. This Steam page states that it is set many years after previous games in this series. Events have moved substantially beyond what players may remember from the previous titles.
Guybrush Threepwood has been a long time since he was last in a duel with LeChuck, his archnemesis. Guybrush’s true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her attention away from the government and Guybrush is now adrift and empty-handed, having never discovered the Secret of Monkey Island. Captain Madison and his young pirate leaders have removed the old guard. Melee Island has gone berserk, and Stan, a well-known businessman, has been jailed for “marketing related crimes”.
Enjoy a good time with old friends, and meet new people on familiar islands now under new leadership. Next, you will need to take to the high seas to explore new and unexplored areas as you try and solve complex problems. Guybrush combines clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes.
A new gameplay trailer was also shown at the Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase. It features returning favourite mechanics as well as some newer ones.
When and on what platforms are the game due to be released?
