LucasArts Revives Monkey Island
LucasArts announced its plans to return to Monkey Island, the publisher's once popular P&C adventure series, with two new releases. The first is Tales of Monkey Island, a game that's going to be divided into 5 whole episodes, developed (we've seen this coming) by Telltale Games. The episodes will evidently be released "in just a few short weeks" for the PC and WiiWare.

The second release is The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, which is going to offer a hi-res remake of the classic The Secret of Monkey Island. This one features a re-mastered musical score and voiceovers and is slated to arrive this summer for PC and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

“We couldn’t be any more excited about bringing Monkey Island to today's gamers -- both in our special edition of the original classic, and through our collaboration with Telltale on the episodic series,” said LucasArts’ President Darrell Rodriguez. “We can’t wait for Guybrush Threepwood and LeChuck to return to gamers’ screens.”
