To put it frankly, the PS2 version of EMI is an odd duck, and there are some noteworthy things about it you might not be aware of. The reason why I feel the PS2 port of Escape from Monkey Island is an exception to this helping of common sense, however, is because there are actually some pretty unique features, tradeoffs, and additions/omissions between it and the original PC release of the game.
Lucasfilm Games itself was only re-established a year ago.In general, discussing the differences between various versions of the same game makes for a dry read at best, and under normal circumstances could hardly generate enough interest to warrant an entire page worth of material. Incidentally, the game is being developed by Gilbert’s own studio Terrible Toybox, while Lucasfilm Games is acting as licensor. The events from The Curse of Monkey Island, Escape from Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island will therefore be completely irrelevant for the new part. So apparently in 2022 we will finally learn what vision the original writers actually had in mind with a sequel. Introducing Return to Monkey Island, a new game by Ron Gilbert that picks up where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge left off. This makes sense in that after Monkey Island 2, both Gilbert and Grossman were no longer involved in the further development of Monkey Island’s sequels. Surprisingly, publisher Devolver also shared on Twitter that Return to Monkey Island will pick up where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge left off 30 years ago. The original co-writer Dave Grossman is also involved again.
In addition, it has already been announced that inventor Ron Gilbert will again be significantly involved. But at least there is a first trailer, which probably gives a foretaste of the art style of the new adventure. Not much is known about the concrete content so far. The new game is called Return to Monkey Island and is scheduled for release in 2022. In other words, a sequel to one of the most legendary point & click adventure games of all time. The game series is considered a classic and has faded into obscurity since the 2010 re-releases.īehind You! A completely unexpected game announcement! In fact, publisher Devolver Digital has just announced a new Monkey Island out of nowhere.
Somewhat surprisingly, a sequel to Monkey Island was announced yesterday. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Tips.
