Devolver Digital has announced Return to Monkey Island, a new entry in the series that will bring back series creators Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman. It will be a direct continuation of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. The Monkey Island series created some of the point-and-click genre's best games, thanks to their hilarious characters and interesting puzzles.

The Monkey Island series is set in a fictional version of the Caribbean and follows Guybrush Threepwood, a wannabe swashbuckler who spends the first game attempting to become a pirate, but runs afoul of an undead pirate named LeChuck. The first entry in the series was The Secret of Monkey Island, and it was followed by Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, which followed Guybrush's search for the mythical treasure known as Big Whoop. The people who want to experience these classics can do so via the remakes that were released in 2009 and 2010. The Monkey Island series would receive three more entries, but these were produced by different teams, and these received a more mixed response from critics and fans.
