Thing is we've heard this before when they jumped to 3D with Escape From Monkey Island. And I largely enjoyed the game, because.. it's Monkey Island.

Yeah, Escape looked awful but I still played and (I think) liked.

I think it looks brilliant actually. Love the art style personally!

Cautiously optimistic and reminded that I must finish Thimbleweed... Likewise. Though I started another playthrough of MI2 two nights ago…

The artstyle puts me in mind of games like Day of the Tentacle

Yep, looks lovely and smooth when everything is in motion. Can't wait for this.

I really like the new voice for LeChuck, surely the release date can't be far away now.

The more I see of the art in motion the more it makes me think of something like Rayman Legends crossed with Valiant Hearts and I loved both of them

All of the earlier games appear to be on special offer on Steam also. Might as well try to replay at least the first couple again!

I'm sure everyone will be too overcome with grief to play it, but it's now released on a bank holiday

Monkey Island 2 may have been one of my most replayed games ever, so very excited about this.
Panzer Dragoon Saga comes in a close second.

It doesn't release until 5pm BST on Monday, so the Queen basically died for nothing 😔

Didn't realise that this was coming so soon. Since finding out on Thursday I've been trying to blitz through the first two games. Been going pretty well, with my save file on 2 saying I'm at about 43%.
They have been pretty perfect games to be playing on my new Steam Deck too. I expect that will be the way I'll be playing the new one.

Really excited. Have bought two copies, one for myself and one as a gift for my dad as a being infuriated by an obtuse puzzle and randomly trying everything in the inventory with everything on the screen was a shared experience 30 years ago. Rarely buy games, let alone pre-order anything these days. Aside from occasional sim racing I've become totally jaded over the past 12 months or so and almost stopped playing games entirely (assuming we don't count wordle).
Really hoping a) it's not shit and b) it's enough of a success to get a Day of the Tentacle sequel too.

As someone who has not played any monkey island games (please don’t hurt me!), will I be able to follow this? It looks great but also looks heavily linked to the other games.
Do they generally work as stand-alone games?

Do they generally work as stand-alone games? There's so many in jokes and throwbacks, plus recurring characters that you would miss out on so much. Plus they're fucking great, get them played you heathen.

Unless they are on switch, which I don’t think they are, that’s not really an option unfortunately

I’ve only got my work laptop and I need to keep that clean. Oh well, I’ll keep an eye out for a console release of the older games. Apparently some of them were released on ps3.
