It's hard to believe that we're getting a new Monkey Island game this year, but here we are.
Ron Gilbert first teased the next Monkey Island title earlier this year. Most didn't believe him as we were fresh off of April Fool's day. But, it appears that Gilbert wasn't joking around.
A few days later, we got the news that Return to Monkey Island is coming out sometime this year. Now, we finally know exactly when it's hitting store shelves, thanks to a trailer at Gamescom 2022.
Gilbert's development studio, Terrible Toybox, described the upcoming Return to Monkey Island game as a "follow-up to the legendary Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge." This should be good news for fans who weren't quite happy with the later installments in the series.
The best part is that Return to Monkey Island is launching on September 19.
