Fans are excited for Return to Monkey Island after creator reveals new gameplay

Return to Monkey Island's creator revealed a new antagonist (Image via Devolver Digital) Ron Gilbert, the creator of the Monkey Island franchise, took to Twitter to reveal some gameplay of the upcoming . Guybrush Threepwood, the protagonist of the game, winds up coming across a new no-nonsense character, Judge Plank. Fans also got a peek at the writing of the upcoming game, seeing several dialogue options. It’s odd that happens every 7 days. There must be some hidden pattern here. Any ides ? I’d ask Guybrush but he seems busy at the moment.It’s odd that happens every 7 days. There must be some hidden pattern here. Any ides ? I’d ask Guybrush but he seems busy at the moment.

Judge Plank joins Return to Monkey Island as new character

Return to Monkey Island showcased some new gameplay on the last #MonkeyIslandMonday, courtesy of Ron Gilbert. In it, Guybrush Threepwood trudges through the ice and snow of Brr Muda and into a courtroom. This is where the new character, Judge Plank appears. Players get to see some of the choices on offer when it comes to dealing with Judge Plank in Return to Monkey Island. The writing for Ron Gilbert's upcoming game holds true to the standards of the previous games (Image via Devolver Digital) Judge Plank immediately sets the tone for what kind of character he is. Guybrush walks up to the judge upon entering the room, drawing the ire of the latter, who exclaims: “I am going to cite you for contempt of court for not asking permission to approach the bench!” This, of course, introduces some dialogue options. In the clip, the game's protagonist apologizes and asks to approach the bench. The judge allows this and brings the court into session. Judge Plank asks how the character pleads, but it is not clear whether his crime is simply going into the courthouse, or if something else has occurred. Guybrush has the perfect response to Judge Plank, saying: “Guilty! Of being a mighty pirate.” Brr Muda's Judge seems to be carrying a great deal of weight in the area. Quick to anger and eager to pound the gavel, players received a good look at what foes Guybrush will have to deal with. Players were not treated to any further content from the upcoming game, but Ron Gilbert brings up new gameplay and content for the upcoming game every Monday on his Twitter.

Fans are very excited for the upcoming sequel thanks to Ron Gilbert s reveal

Fans were incredibly excited about this reveal. Some admitted they were leery about how the game was going to be designed, but after seeing and hearing it in action, their fears were put to rest. I didn't really dig the style of the new Monkey Island game until I saw this video. In combination with the judge's animation and the voice and everything, this is actually super cool! It’s odd that happens every 7 days. There must be some hidden pattern here. Any ides ? I’d ask Guybrush but he seems busy at the moment.It’s odd that happens every 7 days.

The person in question worked on Spanish localization. Ron Gilbert did confirm that there is one and tagged the person working on it. Hi Ron, many years ago, I worked on the Spanish localization of The Curse of Monkey Island... I was on the team that translated and adapted texts and, above all, Guybrush's jokes... Are you working in the Spanish localization of RTMI?

Can't wait to play again...

Others were curious about the choice of dialogue involving the “shakedown at the nineteenth parallel.” Excuse me, Ron, what is the "shakedown at the nineteenth parallel"? Is it a joke that I'm not getting or is Guybrush referring to something in the game? Excuse me, Ron, what is the "shakedown at the nineteenth parallel"? Is it a joke that I'm not getting or is Guybrush referring to something in the game? It's probably that huge earthquake that is hinted in the trailer. Maybe :D It's probably that huge earthquake that is hinted in the trailer. Maybe :D There was an earthquake hinted? There was an earthquake hinted? Well immediately after Wally is presented, several screens show everything is rumbling in multiple islands. Not sure if it's just a dramatic effect for the trailer or some huge explosion that actually occurs in-game though ?‍ Well immediately after Wally is presented, several screens show everything is rumbling in multiple islands.

Delighted to hear that the long held tradition of harpsichord in the Monkey Island soundtrack continues!

Ron, you have no idea how excited my wife is. Looking great! Looking great! I’m so excited I’m so excited Even people who have had criticisms are excited about the game. One cited the design choice of showcasing the full text of dialogue options. Not a fan of not seeing the full text of the dialogue choice there. I get that it ruins the comedy somewhat but that’s never been a problem before. Otherwise it looks amazing! Not a fan of not seeing the full text of the dialogue choice there. I get that it ruins the comedy somewhat but that’s never been a problem before. Otherwise it looks amazing! Same thing happened in CMI… Same thing happened in CMI… It happens once or twice in the game. It never happens in the first two games and Escape. It happens all the time in Tales, which makes me suspect that Grossman is the culprit. It happens once or twice in the game. It never happens in the first two games and Escape.
