The second to last Monkey Island Monday is among us, very sus. This week’s reveal is a continuation of a scene we got a few weeks ago with Guybrush confronting the new pirate leaders. It takes place once again in our favorite familiar location, the SCUMM bar! We get to hear from the new pirate leaders for the first time, and they have already taken Umbridge with Guybrush.
Return to Monkey Island is releasing on September 19th, so there are only two weeks left to get your pre-orders in. Remember, they come with an exclusive pre-order bonus, the redundant, never to be useful Horse Armour! But!
The Horse Armour is a useable item and can be shown to various characters throughout the game, so if you want some extra tasty dialogue from Domonic Armato, Wally Wingert, Denny Delk, Alexandra Boyd, and all the other fantastic voice talent, it’s not something you want to miss out on!
Let’s take a look at this week’s Monkey Island Monday and see what’s been revealed!

That SCUMM bar music…. mwah
I'm imagining basically a 2 part experience. Like it is starting with guybrush telling stories which are playable flashbacks (see him flipping that album in one of the first trailers) and basically shows what really happened after LeChucks Revenge and also recapitulates the old games for players new to the series. Then something happens and the basically "retired" Guybrush has to spring back into action and RETURN to Monkey Island.
This would check all the promised boxes, resolving that cliffhanger after Revenge, keeping the "good" canon from the old games (older guybrush could just have forgotten/supressed the bad experiences, therefore not reminiscing about them) and being a continuation to the whole series.
Sidenote: I preordered a soon as I heard about the release date having been announced.
Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine gedangsie.ONLINE Brünette und eine andereh Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

Was initially excited, but this just doesn't feel like a MI game to me. Certainly not one that follows the first two. It should've been a proper MI3 with pixel art.
Monkey Island by Ron Gilbert… after 31 years of waiting! What fence?
While I absolutely agree with you about the timeline Of course it could be irony like the generation called in the previous generation old when there's barely turn between them doesn't necessarily mean he's objectively old just hold any relevant to the new pirate leaders
Im not too sure if its after Tales because most young people like these new pirate leaders would call someone like Guybrush "annoying old wastrel man" its like kids these days saying things like "thats so last week" etc… They just think hes out of touch. probably Guybrush is somewhere in his mid to late 20s and these pirates leaders are in their late teens
I swear that guy with the eye patch looks like,Michael jackson,idk why
Yeah, there's only a few characters exclusively from Escape that were memorable. Father Rasputin, Jojo Jr., and Ignatius Cheese. It'd be nice to see one of them, but I doubt it would be Jojo give that the Money Head is still on Monkey Island in this game.
My theory is the opening act will be the amusement park – our task in the tutorial level will be to escape guybrush from the park, by driving a bumper car off and into the sea. The act ending with a shot of Guybrush floating adrift in the sea – which sends Mr Brush off to Plunder Island.
Then we’ll go into credits, showing shots in the current art form of memories and particular moments from games 3 4 and 5. Then we’ll resume in the ‘present’, being years after Tales completion.
Man I hope I’m right 😂😂
I'd like the hippie judge from the diving competition in Escape From Monkey Island to return. He was my favourite character in that game
so now monkey island is a cartoon for kids…
Buddy. Tales does not exist.
Many years since Guybrush last fought LeChuck – there is no reason why that can't simply be post Revenge. If it's post Revenge, "many years" would put Guybrush in his late 20s or his 30s. Post Tales, however, and "many years" would make him in his 40s or even 50s. LeChuck was the antagonist in Tales, too, after all.
The closeups are a fun homage to the original and feel cinematic – was a delightful surprise when I saw it, and gotta say I love it!
I actually love many of the EMI characters. One who would be prime for a reappearance would be Ignatius Cheese, as they could tie that into explaining the current changes to the SCUMM Bar. Actually hoping to see him again, tbh.
for a pirate comedy, monkey island is a lot better than one piece and guybrush threepwood is a lot better than monkey d. luffy.
How long u think game will be?
Why does guybrush always look sad?those eyes
I've pre-ordered mine as soon as they released the pre-order. I'm sure the game is going to be a fun one!
The 3 old pirates have been replaced by 2 women and a black guy. Seems on par with modern times.
Ahoy there fancypants!
If this is some time after Escape, they sure did a nice job restoring the SCUMM Bar to former glory, after the whole Lua-situation. 😉
I still think it will be (roughly) somewhere between 2 and Curse, though. At least, that is how it was presented, from the start? But it actually does not really matter. Ron stated they will respect the existing canon, while in the next sentence explaining how they don't take the term 'canon' very strictly.
I dunno it looks like concept art most of what we seen so fare if this is the direction the when I am sad as even MI4 looks good by compering.
A 30min play through then chat is a great idea. My vote for that 😆
Literally just played monkey island 1 & 2 on the PS3 and got curse of monkey island on ps3 using the ScummVM emulator that has come out on ps3.
Is return to monkey island not releasing straight away for ps4 and ps5?
Pfff that art style…
The jokes are bland and cringe worthy, uninspired and rotten, voice acting is terrible and even the inventory looks like a placeholder, and the graphics… it's just beyond, way beyond anything even remotely comparable to agreeable art-design.
It's not as simple as that the graphic style by itself is ass ugly.
I have the strong impression that there no stylistic paradigm at all, it's sheer tastelessness, and there is no discernible aesthetic principle guiding all of this. No inspiration, no fun, no love, just complete emptiness, a piece of software devoid of the soul it tries to mimicry. Everything I enjoyed in Monkey Island seems inverted into an utter parody here.
Whenever you hover your cursor over something it only has left and right click and tells you exactly what the click will do."Take skull from pole" when you hover over the skull. "Talk to Murray" when you hover over Murray. Lame and boring.
Using the wrong verb on objects in old adventure games often was used for jokes. Now you can't even use the wrong verb, because there are no verbs. There is only brain-dead click.
Judging by the already shown crappy humor (both visual and written) I will not be surprised if it contains current year events & politics.
It’s clear it’s after tales of monkey island as characters of tales appears in the scrap book Guybrush is reading from
I don't want to know. I'll just hit like and leave.
Revealed? It's just your thoughts 😉
Is the music during the conversation with pirate leaders from the game?
So bad graphic for 2022.. monkey island i amd 2 remake was awesome
Is that Marilyn Manson?
