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. It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. He also said he'd like to rebuild the originals' SCUMM engine, among other points.Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. His other ideas at the the time included making it "a hardcore adventure game" with no tutorials, hint systems, "pansy-assed puzzles or catering to the mass-market or modernizing." On top of that, he wanted retro art but powered by modern hardware (to help the team do what Lucasarts couldn't in the 1990s), a "full-on inventory", a physical release, dialog puzzles, and no verbs used for commands. At that time, he said he'd want it to be "a retro game that harkened back to Monkey Island 1 and 2", and would specifically ignore the events of every game in the series after the second – and given this game follows LeChuck's Revenge, it seems he may have gotten his wish. We don't have any more information on the game than what's included in the short teaser trailer above, but we do have a 2013 blog post from Gilbert in which he laid out his ideas for a new game in the series. frkrN1OLXD- Devolver Digital April 4, 2022 Introducing Return to Monkey Island, a new game by Ron Gilbert that picks up where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge left off.
On Twitter, Gilbert said his Terrible Toybox development studio has been working on the game for 2 years "in complete secrecy". Fellow co-creator Tim Schafer – who runs Microsoft's Double Fine – does not return. It also brings back original co-writer Dave Grossman, and LucasArts composers Michael Land, Michael McConnell and Clint Bajakian. Designed as a follow-up to the first two games – The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – the new game is being published by Devolver Digital in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
