Monkey Island’s long hiatus is finally coming to an end, and its creator is returning along with the series.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games, Terrible Toybox is developing Return to Monkey Island, a new pirating adventure starring Guybrush Threepwood. Industry legend and Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion creator Ron Gilbert runs Terrible Toybox and will be\u00a0involved in this new franchise entry.<\/p>\n

Return to Monkey Island will act as a direct sequel to Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, picking up where the 1991 point-and-click adventure left off. The series’ floundering hero, Guybrush, will be voiced again by his original\u00a0actor, Dominic Armato.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Monkey Island\u00a0has previously\u00a0had a\u00a0string of revivals over the years, with Telltale taking a crack at the series with Tales of Monkey Island in 2009 and Special Edition remasters of The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2 around the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We still don’t know about Return to Monkey Island other than what’s shown in the trailer above, but there is a release window set for this year. We’ll be sure to report more as information is released on this project in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n
