Many thought that Monkey Island on these days were beyond reality and when there was some noise back at April’s 1st, accordingly people prepared that it was just another April Fool Joke appealing to nostalgia.

Well it did appeal to nostalgia but it was no joke as the same Ron Gilbert announced that he was returning to the game he created along with Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm games (Monkey Island was originally a LucasGames IP).

The new game will take place after the events of 1991’s Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge so 1997’s The Curse Of Monkey Island and 2001’s Escape From Monkey Island will be generally ignored, although elements from both games will be appearing.

Return to Monkey Island will feature once again the known main character “Mighty Pirate” Guybrush Threepwood who will be performed once again by actor Dominic Armato.

Devolver Digital will serve as the publishing side and confirmed that Return to Monkey Island will release this year but no platform has been confirmed so far.
