The long-anticipated next entry to Monkey Island series, cleverly named Return to Monkey Island, has just been provided with a release date and brand new trailer at Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live.
Excitingly for fans of the classic point-and-click adventure series, the game is landing on Switch less than a month from now, on 19th September. The trailer gives us an extended look at the game's epic new art style, witty humour, and what to expect from some less than friendly-looking pub pirates. Check it out above.
We now know that we are going to be able to set sail with Guybrush Threepwood soon and pre-orders are now available for all wannabe pirates. Those of you who are pre-ordering will get your virtual hands on some exclusive Horse Armour — an item that appears to have no use other than to sit in your inventory. Oh, how we have missed you Monkey Island!
Will you be pre-ordering Return to Monkey Island? Can't resist an Oblivion joke? Let us know how excited you are in the comments below!

Greatest pre-order bonus. Ever.
Super excited for this!
Now that is hilarious. Will definitely be getting this next month.
Folks are gonna beat Todd Howard to death over that huh?
I wish the worst thing in the whole videogame industry was horse armor DLC again.
At least you paid for horse armor, you got horse armor, you didn't pay to spin a wheel that maybe could give you horse armor.
Yeeeeess! Now let's check if the physical version is up for preorders somewhere already...
For people like me - Game of the Year, potentially
Yes!!! I'm booking the day off work and not telling the wife!
@NintendoWife I'd keep an eye onimited Run for this one, personally. Seems like something they'd do!
I’d have preferred a fine leather jacket…..
On Talk Like a Pirate Day, no less!
@fox_mattcloud It was mentioned on Nintendo's own websites from the start, so I was rather expecting a regular run..

Not too crazy about Limited Run tbh
Wow that's quick! I'm finally getting excited for this game!
Already preordered! Can't wait to use that horse armor and not get any results!
Most anticipated game of 2022!
Man, the first three Monkey Island games were pure gold. So excited for this. Is this gonna be an eShop only game?
@NintendoWife @fox_mattcloud @NintendoWife Doesn't devolver digital do physical releases with Super Rare Games instead of Limited Run? Also most of their successful games get cheaper wide releases anyways, so it might be worth it to wait a bit.
I am starting to like the artstyle and I am sure I will play this game one day. At least if it gets a physical release.
Escape from Monkey Island is the first I ever saw and the only one I played a bit. I think it is pretty good and I might get the Playstation 2 version.
Oh and I hope the voodoo lady is cool now. I really liked her.
Normally I’m exclusively a cart girl…. But how can I resist. If they do not be up releasing a physical, then I might just have to buy it again 👀😂
Trailer was a bit cringey, Stan doesn't really sound like a salesman, and the art is a bit off-putting (Guybrush is pretty much just as ugly as the other later games). I'm thinking it'll be a bit disappointing, but I hope I'm wrong.
I'll probably buy it anyway as a thank you for the good times I had with the first 3 games.
