Just announced by Devolver Digital. It will be a canon sequel to LeChuck's Revenge made by Ron Gilbert and will feature Dominic Armato once again as Guybrush Threepwood.

I wonder if Devolver was saving this announcement for E3 but since E3 got canned this year, they just reviled it now.
Never got into the Monkey Island games but I know many that loved them, so I'm happy.

The noise I made when I saw this. Gilbert returning? Possibly following up on a cliffhanger people have been debating over for 31 years? (I'm expecting it'll be kinda glossed over in a funny way, but still.)

I have some familiarity with the Monkey Island series but it's sort of ironically funny that Devolver Digital is basically publishing game based off a Disney property from the game's original creator.
Like, that almost feels like the most Devolver Digital thing possible.

Ron Gilbert has said he'd only announce a new Monkey Island on April Fools day. Each April 1st he usually updates with how his site is "100% April Fools free" instead of announcing a new Monkey Island game. This year he really did make the announcement on April 1st.  Also he's said he'd never make another Monkey Island unless he had the rights and not a company like Lucasarts for best example. Given how good to devs that Devolver can be, this was a great excuse to go back on that claim. |

(I'm expecting it'll be kinda glossed over in a funny way, but still.) they said it's a direct sequel to 2. But the announcement trailer has a powerful demonic force! The harbinger of your doom! Who the forces of darkness will applaud as they stride through the Gates of Hell – carrying your head on a pike! ... alright ROLL! ROLL THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL! the one and only MURRAY! who... showed up in 3.  |

Also I'll take any Monkey Island follow up I can get I am a little sad we never got Tales of Monkey Island Season 2... but that happened right before Tell Tale became the all licensed games all the time >_> |

As a man of low moral fiber, I am appropriately excited for this news.
