Yeah, it’s very ambiguous.
I hope it’s an April’s fool though, because if it’s a new Monkey Island I’ll be mad for eternity because when they had an opening I applied but never got an answer and since working with Ron on a new Monkey Island is literally my childhood dream, the idea of having the chance but never getting to it would make me way more mad than the knowledge that it’s an unreachable dream
What we know is that Ron is actually working on a 2D adventure game.
On the other 
we know he can’t use the Monkey Island characters, because you-know-why.
So… maybe he’s not working at a game called Monkey Island, but to a “Monkey Island” style game!
Yes,that’s a really smart consideration.
Unless, god only knows how, he obtained the IP from Disney…
Maybe Ron is continuing work on MI3 cancelled in 1993
Ron may have decided that, even though he does’t own the IP, that he’d still be interested in making a new MI game. The thing is that the people of our generation who grew up playing these games are now executives… and they’re just like us: They’d love to see a Ron Gilbert Monkey 3A. So maybe, just maybe, they worked out a deal with him where he’s happy to give it a go.
MY GOD IT’S FOR REAL!
AAAAAAAAAA IT’S HAPPENING!!!
It’s really happening!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
And why does it say Coming 2022 when we’re already in 2022? Normally if you announce a year it would at least be next year right? So why 2022 when we are in 2022?
And my answer is we are now time traveling back to 2021. Whatever that means.
Maybe it’s a pun on Botw 2.
Where’s the screenshot from?

This was an April Fools’ joke by Italian magazine The Games Machine, way back in 1993 with screenshots made by ripping sprites from Monkey Island and pasting them on X-Wing screens.
Since April Fools wasn’t really a thing then, people believed it was a real game for months.
Robert Megone in too. Noah Falstein did early playtesting 
let´s merge in here
I cannot believe this!!
Holy moly.
So, how do you feel now?
Happy that in a parallel universe some version of me actually worked on this.
