Some of us are counting down the days, since a few months ago, on April 4th of this year, we first learned about Return to Monkey Island, a project of Lucasfilm Games, Devolver Digital and Terrible Toybox, the studio of Ron Gilbert, which revives one of the most iconic sagas in video game history. And with the participation of part of the original team, that we can put our hand to the fire, that they put their best into the development, I have no doubt that we can expect a new gem.
Although Return to Monkey Island was announced five months ago, Ron Gilbert said at the time that they had been working on the project for two years and it was scheduled to be released sometime this year. Something that was confirmed shortly after and with a date very close, as we told you in the review of the September issues, September 19, initially debuted on PC and Nintendo Switch.
Now, if fans of the saga were already delighted with this new title, Ron Gilbert confirmed, via tweetwhich later there will also be a physical edition of Return of Monkey Island. He made this in response to a user who asked if there would be a physical edition of the game on September 19th:
Not at startup. Later. One nice thing about making games today is that we don’t have to wait months for press releases before people can enjoy a game.
unfortunately Still no more data, no date, no price or content, although we can imagine there will be at least a collector’s edition with more extras, both digital and physical. We can also imagine that the volume of its production will be somewhat limited, so it will surely become a highly sought after and prized commodity. We’ll of course remain alert to any news that comes out about it, and I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that more than one person in this newsroom will be doing everything in their power to get their hands on a copy.
Return to Monkey Island will be the sixth title in the saga, but as we told you in April, the announcement indicated that this release will pick up where Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge left off, so we would be talking about a reorganization of the canon, which would become a third volume. At the moment, we do not know whether, according to his argument, a bridge will be created to relocate the next three installments.
