As for what we can expect from Return to Monkey Island, well, the game’s teaser trailer doesn’t reveal a lot, although it looks like they’re going with a stylized HD 2D look for the game, rather than 3D models or retro pixels. We don’t yet know what Guybrush will look like this time around, although we do briefly hear from the diabolical skull Murray. You can check out the first teaser trailer for Return to Monkey Island, below.
While the announcement of Return to Monkey Island is coming as a pretty big surprise to many fans, Ron Gilbert actually already announced he was returning to the series… on April Fool’s Day. Little did we know, Gilbert wasn’t playing a joke after all. Turns out this whole announcement was the payoff of a nearly-decade-old tweet from Gilbert. Now, that’s what I call holding for a punchline.
