Return to Monkey Island sees Ron Gilbert's Terrible Toybox join up with Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games to bring a new entry in the classic point-and-click adventure series, and as part of a new Nintendo Direct Mini we got our first proper gameplay trailer. One that does well to highlight the new art-style.

Which, as per the original announcement, isn't opting for a pixel-art style retro look. On the plus side, the narrating begins with Guybrush Threepwood confirming that this tale is all about the time he finally discovered the The Secret of Monkey Island. And even though it's a point-and-click we don't actually get to see any of the UI, dialogue options, or inventory screens - just straight up full-screen animated gameplay.

The tangled history of Monkey Island’s most famous secret leads Guybrush Threepwood - intrepid hero, leather jacket salesman, mighty pirate - to embark on a new swash-buckling adventure through the Caribbean, determined to uncover the elusive secret once and for all. No trip back to Mêlée Island would be complete without his old friends (and foes), but while Guybrush and the evil LeChuck look certain to clash on the high seas once more, a new crew of Pirate Leaders seem to have arrived to spoil the party.

Join the hilarious misadventures of Guybrush in Return to Monkey Island, the sequel penned by series originators Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman. Brought to life with stunning new visuals by Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway) and some of the original Monkey Island voice cast, Return to Monkey Island will include all new intuitive controls, accessibility features and even a few jokes.

This one is on track for a 2022 release, where it's coming to Nintendo Switch and PC.
