The new (and very highly rated) Monkey Island game stars none other than Neil Druckmann, the man himself has confirmed. You probably know Druckmann as the co-president of Sony first party studio Naughty Dog, and director of The Last of Us and The Last of Us: Part II.
Okay, so 'stars' is perhaps pushing it. Druckmann apparently lends his voice to an NPC, and that's about it. But still, it must be pretty cool to have a Monkey Island cameo. You may also recall that Uncharted 4 has certain...ties to Monkey Island as well — and Druckmann was writer and director for that one, too. Definitely a fan, then!
As for Return to Monkey Island, we'll hopefully get to play it on a PlayStation console at some point in the future. The long-awaited sequel is currently available on Switch and PC, and our friends over at Nintendo Life gave the bloody thing a 9/10 in their review.
It doesn't make the wait any easier...

I am gutted for the timed exclusivity on this one. I really hope we get it soon. Desperate to play it. Being a devolver digital published title, i am hopeful it will come
Inflate the guys ego some more why don't you
I’ll take him voicing NPCs over Troy Baker any day.
@nessisonett why do people not like Troy Baker now? Because he's in everything?
@theMEGAniggle Mostly because he’s in everything. Partly because he’s a bit of a jobbie in interviews.
Haven't gotten to that area of Brrr Muda yet but I doubt I would have recognized his voice
I was tempted to get the PC version, which is arguably the best way to play it, but I’ve decided to wait for the PlayStation version.
I'm a huge Monkey Island fan. I highly rate MI 4 (yes you read that right) but love all of them. This new one is great as well.
@nessisonett I heard him on a podcast and he was an absolute idiot.
Ps4/Ps5 version please
@nessisonett +1 for use of the word 'jobbie'
Do they have LeChuck kill Guy in the first scene and have you play as Elaine out for revenge, only to switch to LeChuck at the half-way point and you discover that Guy killed his daddy.
Removed - spoilers
I love a good Cameo. Word up!
Haha that’s awesome! I had never heard of these games until he mentioned them in an interview years ago. Such an amazing series, and really cool to see him in the game.
Very underwhelming, yet another sequel/reboot. Doesn't actually further the overall series story in a meaningful way.
@Reeneman @Bentleyma @Rob_230 I have yet to start playing the series, but here's hoping they do port over the game to PS4/PS5 in time.
