‘Return to Monkey Island’ won’t rewrite part 3

On Monday, all fans of classic LucasArts adventures had to jump for joy at the announcement of the game. Return to Monkey Islandon which the creators are working Thimbleweed Park from a terrible toy box. It is led by Ron Gilbert himself, creator and father of the Monkey Island series. However, some of those fans soon noticed that Gilbert had repeatedly stated in the past that the third installment, titled The Curse of Monkey Islandwhich was released in 1997 and on which Gilbert no longer worked, liked it, but I would do a lot differently.

Despite the fact that Murray, the talking skull, first appeared in The Curse of Monkey Island in the teaser trailer for Return to Monkey Island, questions began to arise about what would happen to series canon now. After all, it was announced that The new game follows directly on from the end of the Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge adventure. since 1991. Are we facing a similar situation as in the case of the Terminator movie, namely the movie Terminator: Dark Fate, which followed the first two parts of the series from the original creators a few years ago and threw the rest in the trash? Fortunately, no.

Not yet we don’t know if Escape from Monkey Island from 2000 and Telltale Games’ Tales of Monkey Island series will remain in Monkey Island canon, published during 2009, but The Curse of Monkey Island will not be rewritten or deleted by anyone. Ron Gilbert confirmed on Twitter that the third part is still canonical, which the creators paid great attention to. Also he declaredthat Murray is part of Return to Monkey Island itself, not just yesterday’s teaser.and more is enough great part. Some fans have speculated that Murray’s collision at sea meant the destruction of all Monkey Islands that Ron Gilbert hadn’t worked on. But it’s not.

What’s worse, a well-known developer confirmedthat composers Michael Land, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian, already responsible for the music for Monkey Island 2, are indeed back, so their names are not listed in the teaser, because, for example, their musical motifs from about 30 years ago will be used in the upcoming performance. So far, it just feels like Monkey Island is back with all the fuss.

We regret only one thought. If Return to Monkey Island takes place between the second and third series, it will probably be difficult for Stan, for example, to fit into it., a popular seller of used boats, used coffins, comfortable tombs, and other pious merchandise, known for more than just his performance, musical motif, and vest with a very distinctive pattern. When Guybrush meets him during The Curse of Monkey Island, it seems like they both saw each other for the last time in Part 2. But maybe Guybrush would have had enough to throw Stan back into the coffin and he would have been in trouble.

Return to Monkey Island will be released during 2022 and will most likely be available on both PC and consoles.
