Return to Monkey Island: the game announced on Switch, a trailer with finally gameplay

If fans had regretted that the announcement of Return to Monkey Island on PC last April was not accompanied by gameplay, Devolver Digital corrected the situation this afternoon. Indeed, the publisher took advantage of the Nintendo Direct Mini to highlight some sequences taken directly from the game, while obviously confirming the arrival of this true sequel to Monkey Island 2 on the Kyoto hybrid console. For those who have already forgotten, we remind you that Ron Gilbert is a natural part of the project, as is co-screenwriter Dave Grossman (Tales of Monkey Island), composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge), and art director Rex Crowle (Tearaway). In short, something to reassure the followers of the first hour.



We almost forgot to specify it, but it is Dominic Armato who will once again lend his voice to Guybrush Threepwood. Moreover, we are told that "it has been many years since Guybrush Threepwood faced his worst enemy, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His great love, Elaine Marley, has resigned as governor and Guybrush finds himself at the drifts away, frustrated at never having discovered the secret of Monkey Island." With young pirates who have taken power on the island of Mêlée, and the businessman Stan imprisoned for commercial crimes, we are promised a particularly perilous final episode.

"Clever puzzles, wacky situations and devastating aftershocks are all that separates Guybrush from glory," we are warned, knowing that the adventure will be punctuated with encounters with new faces and old friends in familiar locations. Return to Monkey Island remains scheduled for 2022.
