‘Tales of Monkey Island’ Preview

The time has nearly arrived for the first of the new Monkey Island episodic adventures featuring everyone’s favourite pirate; no not Captain Jack Sparrow, Guybrush Threepwood of course!

The Tales of Monkey Island will be launched with the first chapter, “The Launch of the Screaming Narwal” on the 7th July 2009! I for one am eagerly awaiting the chance to return to this beloved franchise which will see Guybrush a Voodoo Pox that is infecting people across the islands of The Caribbean, including himself!

Have you got your Tales of Monkey Island pre-ordered? If you do pre-order you’ll receive the Tales of Monkey Island Plunder Pack, but you need to pre-order by the end of 6th July 2009 to receive 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.

If you miss out on this deal or would rather see what the first episode is like before committing to the whole game (5-part season), then you can also buy the Monkey Island episodes individually across a 5 month release schedule.

In the meantime, to whet your appetite further, there’s a video below from E3 in which the guys over at Gamespot interview two of the guys from Telltale Games who are bringing the Monkey Island franchise back to us once more – it’s an interesting interview with some hints in it of what we can expect to see both in terms of gameplay and story, take a look at it below and let us know what you think, are you looking forward to being able to play further Monkey Island adventures?
