Is this a remake of the old game, or is it a completely new one?

Edit: I thought there was an old game called Return to Monkey Island, but I see now there wasn't.

I had the exact same thought process.

I guess I was thinking of Escape From Monkey Island.

Hope its not full of Micro transactions and isn't another cash grab based on nostalgia.

That is my thought pattern on almost every thing now though 🙂

At least it's being made by the same guy, so there's that. But now that Disney owns LucasArts, who knows? Wasn't there one that came out a few years ago after Disney already had the rights?

Worst case scenario is that it goes episodic, but its too early to tell. Announcement trailers don't really excite me as much as actual gameplay footage or the actual final article. But still, nice to know there's another monkey island game on the horizon.

Yeah, you could be right about that.

nah, worst case scenario is its full of NFT and you have to buy a crypto coin to play...

but that is more EA level of evil.

That or its packed full of MTX. Change guybrush's \lechuck's attire! , DLC hint system! Chapter unlock! A season pass! a lootbox system! buy clues with ingame currency or skip the game entirely!

mix game with sierra BS like dead man walking syndrome and a terrible trailer insulting the fans and it would be complete mess. Oh and throw in some condescending remarks that goes "the game isn't terrible, the customer just doesn't get it or they're just selfish and greedy dinosaurs to expect an actual game. Welcome to 2022 stupids."

I doubt that it would happen. God help us all when that's what we expect from AAA gaming.

Oh wait...

Don't forget about all of the bugs and glitches from releasing it about 3 months before it's done, similar to how Assassin's Creed Unity was.

Me too, I was sure this was a remake/remaster.

I guess I was thinking of Escape From Monkey Island

What I was thinking of was another game from 2004, Return to Mysterious Island.
