A new Monkey Island game has just been announced! The Secret of Monkey Island, helmed by series creator Ron Gilbert. He's been pretty vocal in his dislike of The Curse of and Escape From Monkey Island, so this entry is being advertised as the follow-up to Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge.
As well as a website, ReturnToMonkeyIsland, there's also an announcement trailer that reveals the game is being made in partnership between Gilbert's terrible toybox as well as Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games.
