Deconstructed and Ignored: First Details of Return to Monkey Island Revealed

Devolver Digital and Terrible Toybox Studio have shared the first details about the creation of the Return to Monkey Island quest. In addition, screenshots of the project were published.

The development of the game is led by legendary game designer Ron Gilbert, known for the Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Freddi Fish, Total Annihilation and DeathSpank series.

As the developers themselves told in an interview with The Verge , the new game will continue the traditions of the point-and-click genre, but they also intend to experiment with the concept, thereby "deconstructing" it. At the same time, Return to Monkey Island is created not only for fans, but also for a new audience. In particular, the gameplay will also be adapted for gamepads.

As already known, Return to Monkey Island will be a direct continuation of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge , since Ron Gilbert did not directly participate in the development of other games in the franchise. However, the events of the sequels will only be ignored if they prevent a good story from being told.

Guybrush Threepwood will be voiced by actor Dominic Armato . Return to Monkey Island will be released in 2022 and has been in development for two years.
