I have found an unofficial English translation of the German interview published in the other thread.
BIG DISCLAIMER: the translation comes from a dubious website, one of those that re-publish content without adding anything useful, so it’s not an authoritative source. Still, until now I’ve not observed this site changing the meaning of the original texts, so I’m cautiously confident that the contents have been translated correctly.
If that’s true, here is interesting new information:
Dave Grossman : “For people who don’t know the series yet, or who just want to brush up on it, we’ve included a ‘catch-me-up’ feature that gives an overview of the most important things to know about all the other games. The most important things to do with the new story, anyway. And the game itself is pretty beginner-friendly, you can just pick it up and play, you don’t need any experience in the genre. “
Maybe it will be like one of those recaps shown at the beginning of a new episode of a TV series. “Previously seen on Monkey Island…”
