I had to double-check the date because I thought this was a an April Fool's joke.

Never thought this day would come. Amazing news!

Absolute yes to this! The Monkey Island series is fantastic.

Shame the VITA no longer exists (as in new games aren't being made for it as it's an old console) as I always thought the remastered Monkey Island games would have been great on there.

Now just get Capcom to announce a new Onimusha and I'll be all smiles.

A great interview article has been posted at Adventure Gamers with lots of details and some screen shots.

I love the art style. This comment stood out to me:

I really hope people like it. There’s been a little bit of backlash because it’s not pixel art, and at some level that makes me sad, because we’ve spent two years with an incredible team making an incredible game that looks incredible, and it is a little bit sad to hear that. But I don’t think we’re going to let people down.

Got to say that I am quite taken with that art style. It's a big departure but has so much damn personality. Really looking forward to this.

In case anyone's missed it, Return to Monkey Island has been at the centre of an absolute s**t-storm of disgusting, entitled gamer abuse these past couple of days. I wish I could say I was surprised, but this hobby is just full of the worst people.
