Thanks to a weirdly released Nintendo Direct Mini this morning, we can finally see the footage of Ron Gilbert Return to Monkey Island. Although there was a lot of information and PR for the game Since its announcement in AprilThis is the first time we got a glimpse of what it would look like while playing.
After some in-game art described by Guybrush Thrippwood actor Dominic Armato, the series unfolds in a series of somewhat muted clips from this morning’s game, featuring a sleek look at the characters and their animations.
If anything, the art style reminds me that Double Vine is so beautiful (but ultimately awesome). Broken ageSo I hope you find a story and puzzle that matches the beauty.
I can’t say how excited I am for this game. No one old enough to get the original Monkey Island The games define the part of adolescence, the rolling musk of memories and nostalgia that makes them a very valuable asset to watch.
Then again, it survived as a kind of lack of love (actually unjustly naughty) Escape from Monkey Island 2000 then the 2009 Teltail trial solid average The story of Monkey IslandSo maybe at this point we’re really looking for the first right Courage So about 25 years ago in the series since 1997.

It provides 240Hz with 1ms response time for incredibly smooth gameplay. Quantum matrix, HDR 2000 and UHD technology work together to create a crystal clear image. The matte screen reduces glare so your eyes can focus on the action in front of you.
At the moment it’s just speculation, but the trailer curiously notes that he’s not just playing the role of the great pirate Gaibrush Thripwood, In the back You can also play Eileen Marley, swordsman, ship captain and governor of the Three Island Districts. What is this pendant? No. Show us how the game will actually play and this is my biggest concern. Nowadays everyone is afraid of the right point-and-click interfaces and instead constantly tries to simplify – and consequently powerless render – type so that it works with a single button on a controller. Monkey Island Creator Ron Gilbert was confident of returning to LucasArts’ classic action-based interface in his last game, 2017. Foxglove ParkBut I am concerned that no one will fail to do so in this most famous project.
The game’s own website says it will “feature a clever evolution of the controls of the classic adventure game. Context-sensitive interactions, interactive dialogue trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system, so do whatever you want. It can be anything.” Exactly what I wantIn something that, in many recent instances, basically plays the game for you.
The story will be picked from the end of Gilbert’s last season in the series, Monkey Island 2: LeChucks Rache, But luckily he’s smart enough to include the third game’s best add-on, Mare’s Talking Skull. As Gilbert and Grossman write, there is good reason to have high hopes, although it lacks the Team Schaefer factor that (I think right) made the second game more entertaining than the first.
There is no release date yet, just a vague ‘2022’ which of course could easily be moved to ‘2023’. Due to the lack of sound clips in the trailer, I have a secret suspicion that it is more than my choice.
