The final release date for Return to Monkey Island on Nintendo Switch has been set. Devolver Digital and Terrible Toybox confirmed that the sequel to the classic adventure game will come out on September 19, 2022.
About Return to Monkey Island
Return to Monkey Island is an exciting surprise from series creator Ron Gilbert. It continues the story of the famous adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, which were made in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
Guybrush Threepwood hasn’t been in a battle of wits with his enemy, the zombie pirate LeChuck, in a long time. Elaine Marley, his true love, has stopped caring about being a leader, and Guybrush is lost and unhappy because he has never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Young, cool pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have gotten rid of the old guard. Things have gotten worse on Melee Island, and well-known businessman Stan has been locked up for “marketing-related crimes.”
Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, go to sea and explore the new and unknown as you try to get out of tough situations. Guybrush isn’t a hero yet because he hasn’t solved some tricky puzzles or dealt with some strange situations.
Return to Point-and-click adventure
With a clever update to the point-and-click controls of classic adventure games, brave pirates will be able to solve puzzles and explore the islands without having to use a mouse. Pirateing is easy because interactions are based on the current situation, dialog trees change based on what the player says, and the inventory system is simple to use.
Archipelago Adventures are waiting for you.
Find your way around Melee Island, a familiar place whose leaders have put pressure on both old friends and new faces. You can make both friends and enemies by going to uncharted places like Terror Island and the cold outposts of Brrr Muda.
Created by a Legendary Crew
Ron Gilbert, the famous creator of the series, is back for the exciting conclusion to the Monkey Island games. Joining him are game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway), and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).
Return to Monkey Island will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop as a digital download.
