Devolver has released the first gameplay trailer for Return to Monkey Island. This trailer features some in-game scenes, and will give you an idea of the game’s art style and aesthetics.
Return to Monkey Island is the long-awaited follow-up to the legendary Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge.
Bringing 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. Moreover, the game will have context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system.
Although there isn’t any specific release date, Devolver plans to release this game later this year.
Enjoy!

Not really fond of character design here , colors are vibrant and crisp though !
Art style looks like total crap.
I don’t share the some opinion.
Agreed. I think it’s a very good art style. A bit like Star Wars Clone Wars series.
Curse of Monkey Island has the best aesthetics by original release.
But the special edition (remasters) of the first two games are also pretty decent looking: The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition & Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge: Special Edition
Looks awful.
Disgusting, looks nothing like MI.
Doesnt look great, though Ill probably still pick this up being a fan of the originals, did they ever do a remaster of LeChucks Revenge?
What about the Special Edition?
Does the special Edition have LeChucks Revenge?
Yep! It came out in 2010!
And as you can see, the graphic style has been improved a bit since the first game. I think it’s totally worth it.

How did I miss that? Thanks for bringing this to my attention. ?
Looks OK…will see when it comes out!
trash art style original name is “gaybrush” not “guybrush” threepwood !
Disney owns LucasArts now. It will be full of “the message.”
It doesn’t help that Ron Gilbert has TDS.
The artstyle makes their faces look lifeless…
If they were aiming for that, they achieved their goal.
Cause it looks absolutley horrible.
“and will give you an idea of the game’s art style and aesthetics.”
tumblr corporate style, its amazing how snes games look better than modern games made by hipsters.
OH. MY. GOD. I have seen lots of ugly games in my life, but this…
This takes it to a whole nuther level…
I know they say “who cares about graphics when you’ve got good gameplay”, but in this case, I think it’s the opposite. (And that’s assuming it would even have good gameplay.)
Even the ugliest of the Nickelodeon cartoons look like more efforts were put into them.

I will continue to make fun of this.
Return to Monkey Island: Block World
DONT like this artstyle at ALL.
“Pirating is in my blood”…..wow…
As a life long avid fan of the series, this looks stunning. I hope they’ll keep the soul of the gameplay intact.
