The official announcement for Return to Monkey Island game came just a few days later.
So, when the Monkey Island co-creater craftily announced that he might be working on a new Monkey Island game via his blog, Grumpy Gamer, on April 1, 2022, fans flocked to forums to share their confusion.
Gilbert had sworn off April Fools for 18 years, making the blog April Fools free because “it’s a stupid tradition.”
With updated graphics, traditional Monkey Island gameplay, and a lot of the original crew on board, Return to Monkey Island has certainly got a lot of fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.
