Terrible Toybox, Devolver Digital, and Lucasfilm Games have announced that Return to Monkey Island, the next installment in Guybrush Threepwood’s epic saga of secrecy, romance, and lactose intolerance will raise the Jolly Roger high and set sail for fun on September 19, 2022, for PC and Nintendo Switch.
Revealed during yesterday’s Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event, wannabe pirates can pre-order Return to Monkey Island now and begin their adventure with an exclusive (and entirely useless) Horse Armor in their inventory.
The tangled history of Monkey Island’s most famous secret leads Guybrush Threepwood – intrepid hero, leather jacket salesman, and mighty pirate – to embark on a new swash-buckling adventure through the Caribbean, determined to uncover the elusive secret once and for all. No trip back to Mêlée Island would be complete without his old friends (and foes), but while Guybrush and the evil LeChuck look certain to clash on the high seas once more, a new crew of Pirate Leaders seems to have arrived to spoil the party.
