Return To Monkey Island Launches September 19th

As many can gather, today kicked off Gamescom with the annual Gamescom Opening Night Live once more. And unlike the past two years, this time the showcase is in-person with some exciting announcements you would not want to miss out on. So far, it kept viewers on their seats with reveals including Sonic Frontiers launching in November.

Additionally, it was shared that a new game is in development from Teravision Games with Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. Similar to Friday The 13th: The Game & The Texas Chain Saw Massacre brings an iconic slasher flick to feature online survival encounters. During the presentation, an update was shared on the previously announced Return to Monkey Island from Devolver Digital.

In that, the aforementioned follow-up is officially arriving next month in September. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“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,” the description for the YouTube video reads.

It continues, “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.”

How excited are you for Return to Monkey Island?

Return to Monkey Island ships on September 19, 2022 for Nintendo Switch & PC.
