Two years of furiously willing it into existence has paid off! Monkey Island is finally FINALLY coming to Sea of Thieves in a major story crossover starting on 20th July this year.
It's not a complete surprise, of course; Rare first teased a Monkey Island crossover for Sea of Thieves back in 2021, tucked in a tiny corner of the game's Pirates of the Caribbean adventure. And now self-proclaimed mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood and friends will be getting similar treatment across three brand-new Tall Tales.
Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island — as the crossover is officially known — begins on Mêlée Island, where Threepwood is inexplicably receiving adulation from his peers. What follows is a «love-letter to the classic adventure game» that'll feature a host of familiar faces, including Murray, LeChuck, and more.
The whole adventure — which can either be played solo or in a crew — will play out across three free episodes, one new instalment landing every month starting on 20th July.
