Tales of Monkey Island – Guybrush Threepwood Sets Sail Again!

We recently brought you news of a new and revitalised Monkey Island Special Edition game, but now we have even more news to bubble your bootlegger blood. Telltale Games have teamed up with Lucas Arts to bring you a brand new swashbuckling adventure called Tales of Monkey Island, available in five episodes available to download each month – the first of which shall be released on July 7th for PC and Nintendo WiiWare!

The good news is that we’ll all be getting more Guybrush than we can handle this summer – I know I’ve never shied away from making him shiver my timber at my own beck and call. The bad news is that if you finish your latest installment within a week, ye’ll be three sheets to the wind fer three whole weeks befor ye can grab some more of that ol’ booty!

Okay, I’ll give it a rest. We’ll be able to see all of our favourite characters once again – good old Guybrush, LeChuck and the mysterious voodoo lady, and I’m sure they’ll throw in a monkey or two. The story is the usual you’d expect from a bizarre Monkey script; Guybrush manages to infect the Caribbean with some voodoo, turning everyone into unruly pirate monsters. Cue ugly, evil zombie-like creatures. Guybrush then sets sail in search of La Esponja Grande to find the cure.

But, as always rings true, his adventures are always part of much larger evil goings on and only when it’s too late does he find out…

You can pre-order the Tales of Monkey Island over at Telltale Games now and if you order before 7th July, then you’ll get the Tales of Monkey Island Plunder Pack that will also include these bonus features:

• A FREE Collector’s DVD at the end of the season, with a special, limited edition cover painted by legendary Monkey Island artist Steve Purcell.
• A FREE Telltale game of your choice ($8.95 value, coupon will be emailed to you after checkout).
• EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to a special Monkey Island section of our website, where members of the Tales of Monkey Island team will check in to spill secrets about the game and answer your questions.

UPDATE: If you’d like to see and hear more of this game, you can check out the Tales of Monkey Island Preview which features an interview with a couple of the Telltale Games guys that was done at E3.
