There have been some changes since we were last on Mêlée, a few new proprietors taking up residence in town and the requirement to keep a rubber chicken down the back of your breeches long forgotten, but the layout remains much the same and the nostalgic sights and soothing sounds of the place will be a delight for returning visitors.
He also said he'd like to rebuild the originals' SCUMM engine, among other points.The setting for this long-awaited comeback - the previous Monkey Island game, the Telltale-developed Tales of Monkey Island, released in 2009 - is naturally Deep in the Caribbean, the gently paced action commencing on the familiar cobbled streets and winding woodland paths of Mêlée Island before opening up to other over-yonder-horizon locations. 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.
