this is the link to the DevolverDigital official video.
Ron Gilbert’s Terrible Toybox, Devolver Digital and LucasGames (not MMucas Games official announced the new adventure. If I’ve understood correctly, it will place its story at the end of MI2, but taking some characters from The Curse of Monkey Island (Murray… any other?).
Take this with a BIG PINCH OF SALT: in Devolver Digital official website, the code of the page for Return to Monkey Island contains a block of structured data with information on the game.
There are two date “keys”:
“date_override” : “Coming 2022” (which is what appears in the page to users)
“date” : “2022-09-01T12:00:00.000Z”
It could be a placeholder (in which case, I wonder why that specific date) or the actual release date.
On twitter, I note how Devolver advertises just one game at a time. Right now it’s “Cult of the lamb”. Previously it was Card Shark. Devolver focuses completely on the latest game, for about one month. It seems it needs/likes to release its games with a one-month gap. This means Monkey Island should not be more than 20-30 days from now.
