Monkey Island certainly has a passionate fandom and those eagerly awaiting the return of this series, and its creator Ron Gilbert, won't have that much longer to wait. Return To Monkey Island showed up during today's Nintendo Direct Mini, which focused on third-party releases.
The big news is that the long-awaited sequel to Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge will launch on the Nintendo Switch first before other consoles.
First announced at the beginning of April, Ron Gilbert revealed that his upcoming follow-up will be in partnership with Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games. The trailer during today's Nintendo Mini Direct showed Guybrush Threepwood underwater, on ships, in caves, and adventuring on that dastardly island. You can watch the trailer below:
Return To Monkey Island launches first on consoles on Nintendo Switch later this year. It does not yet have a more exact date, but at least it's in 2022.
