The adventures of Guybrush Threepwood continues with the comeback of the Monkey Island series. The aptly titled Return to Monkey Island launches today and a new trailer aired for the occasion:

​

Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.

Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.

Return to Monkey Island is available on Steam and the Nintendo eShop.

Finally a game developed where he really made something of his ideas.
Finally a game that isn't full of crap added because everyone on the f*ckin planet had some issue.
Finally a game that's pure.
If you don't like the style, don't buy it, no one is forcing you, it wasn't designed for you!
Get the f*ck on with your own life!

It's hilarious how Devolver Digital decided to publish it. Seems like they always pick games with extremely weird art styles

Why do we need a trailer for a game that releases today?

I always enjoyed the Don Bluth style animation of the previous games, it's too bad that they did a departure from that artstyle.
