Return to Monkey Island – Coming 2022

&quot;Ron Gilbert told me I&#x27;ll never make another Monkey Island&quot; because of this:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grumpygamer.com&#x2F;if_i_made_another_monkeyisland" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grumpygamer.com&#x2F;if_i_made_another_monkeyisland</a> [2013]

Apparently the quote is: &quot;The only way I would or could make another Monkey Island is if I owned the IP. I&#x27;ve spent too much of my life creating and making things other people own,&quot; he said. &quot;Not only would I allow you to make Monkey Island fan games, but I would encourage it.&quot;

Wow - the game I&#x27;ve been waiting for for 31 years! I hope it lives up to the expectations...<p>Seriously, I was (and still am) a big fan of Monkey Island 1 and 2, but the third installment (which came after a hiatus of 6 years and had totally revamped cartoonish graphics) never really clicked for me...

Maybe update link to the official URL <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;returntomonkeyisland.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;returntomonkeyisland.com&#x2F;</a>

I hope this turns out better than the moribund Space Quest reboot [0] from the original authors, which has been languishing for the ten years since its Kickstarter.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guysfromandromeda.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guysfromandromeda.com&#x2F;</a>

Amazing news.<p>So I guess the question here is how he got a hold of the rights.<p>A little disappointed it&#x27;s going to be high-res and not pixel art, Thimbleweed Park style. I really need to get round to playing Thimbleweed Park...

This brightened my day. Also, Thimbleweed Park was great IMO.

Really looking forward to this. Back in the day I played it on my Amiga 500, but last year, after watching Retro Ahoys video [1] I got my old 486 out of the loft and bought a Roland MT-32 just to play it - highly recommended, as is the video.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=9F9ahZQ7oP0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=9F9ahZQ7oP0</a>

I guess the inclusion of Murray (the talking skull) makes The Curse of Monkey Island canon then? :)

There was an awesome iOS remake but it has since disappeared from the app store

I&#x27;m shaking! I&#x27;m shaking!

<i>checks the date of the tweet</i><p>Not an April fools joke, nice.

My favourite adventure game!
