More On: Return to Monkey Island

Devolver Digital has announced that their point and click adventure game Return to Monkey Island would be landing on PlayStation and Xbox consoles soon. You play as Guybrush Threepwood and embark on a brand new adventure through the Caribbean to uncover the Monkey Island's most famous secret. Old friends and foes will make a return in addition to a new crew of Pirate Leaders that may prove to be more of an adversary than ally.

Return to Monkey island is the sequel to the original Monkey Island created by Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman. Some of the original voice cast members will reprise their roles as well! This sequel includes brand new controls, accessibility features and jokes!

See below for some key features:

  • Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling: Bringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls. Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze.
  • Embark on Archipelago Adventures: Navigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces. Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike.
  • Created by a Legendary Crew: The new chapter in the Monkey Island series marks the return of the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, joined by 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 is out now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch for $24.99. It is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X on November 8, 2022. Oh, and it will be on Xbox Game Pass too!
