Description
It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.
Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.
Return to Point & Click SwashbucklingBringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls. Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze.Embark on Archipelago AdventuresNavigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces. Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike.Created by a Legendary CrewThe new chapter in the Monkey Island series marks the return of the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, joined by game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway) and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).

About Return to Monkey Island
Developed by Terrible Toybox and published by Devolver Digital in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Return to Monkey Island was released on September 19, 2022 — thirty-two years after the original Secret of Monkey Island and two decades after the last mainline entry in the series. The game reunites original series creator Ron Gilbert with co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle, and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian — most of the creative team responsible for the classic entries in the franchise — to deliver what is simultaneously the most anticipated adventure game sequel in years and one of the finest.
The story picks up with Guybrush Threepwood adrift and unfulfilled, still haunted by having never discovered the Secret of Monkey Island. Melee Island has changed under dangerous new leadership, old friends have moved on, and the legendary secret remains as elusive as ever. When the opportunity to finally solve the mystery presents itself, Guybrush sets sail once more — encountering new locations including Terror Island and the chilling Brrr Muda alongside familiar settings, a cast of new and returning characters, and puzzles that balance classic adventure game logic with modern accessibility. The control system has been modernised with context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialogue trees, and a streamlined inventory that makes the pirate life accessible to newcomers without condescending to veterans. The distinctive art style by Rex Crowle divided some longtime fans at announcement but works beautifully in motion — expressive, distinctive, and perfectly suited to the franchise's tone.
Return to Monkey Island holds an OpenCritic Mighty rating of 87 with 97% of critics recommending it — one of the highest critical ratings of any adventure game in years — praised universally for its writing, humour, and the warmth with which it handles the franchise's legacy.

No. Return to Monkey Island provides enough context for new players to follow and enjoy the story without prior knowledge of the series. The game works as a standalone experience. That said, players who have played The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge will find additional depth, nostalgia, and emotional resonance in the returning characters and callbacks to the originals. Both classic games are available on PC if you want to start from the beginning.
Yes. Return to Monkey Island is one of the most accessible point-and-click adventure games available, with modernised controls, context-sensitive interactions, and a streamlined inventory system that reduces friction without removing the puzzle-solving challenge. A built-in hint system provides gentle guidance for players who get stuck without giving away solutions outright.
Return to Monkey Island takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to complete on a first playthrough. Players who take their time with dialogue, explore every location thoroughly, and try all available interactions may spend closer to 10 hours. The game is designed to be a focused, satisfying experience rather than an expansive open world.
No. Return to Monkey Island is a single-player game only. There is no multiplayer or co-op mode.
Return to Monkey Island is not demanding — minimum specs require an AMD FX-4300 or Intel Core i3-3240, 8 GB RAM, a Radeon HD 7750 or GeForce GT 640, and 4 GB of storage on Windows 10. The game runs comfortably on virtually any current PC without configuration.
