There are still more than six months left in 2022, but without a doubt one of the most special and unexpected news we had was the return of the Monkey Island saga. Fans of the adventures of the pirate Guybrush Threepwood have been eagerly awaiting a new adventure, and luckily this one will arrive this year.
Return to the Monkey Island will be the new installment in the saga, and it will take place right after the events that occurred in the second installment of the saga (considered the best by most fans). This new game is at the helm of Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman, who assure that it will explain the “mysterious ending” of the second Monkey Island.
The return to Monkey Island will arrive this year
Without wanting to get into too many spoilers in case you haven’t played LeChuck’s Revenge, the final showdown put us in a weird zone, but just before the end there was a sequence where Guybrush appeared as a little boy. Many of us fans have been speculating since then what that meant, and Ron Gilbert himself assures that the new return to monkey island will start at this time
One of the things that was really important to me about this was that I wanted the game to start right at the end of Monkey Island 2, when you enter this amusement park. I wanted the game to start there.
I don’t want to go into all the details, but we start there and then it takes a lot of the weird twists and turns you’d expect us to.
We will have to wait a little longer to be able to play the new Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman, but the game will arrive this same 2022 on Xbox and PC.
