After a couple of years again in dry-dock, Tales Of Monkey Island has returned to the open sea. Following Telltale Games’ notorious scuttling again in 2018, most of the story-driven studio’s works had been taken off sale – taking place with the ship, when you’ll pardon. Slowly, tales of shamblers and caped crusaders have resurfaced, and now Guybrush Threepwood’s 3D follow-up has discovered its method again onto Steam and GOG.
Tales Of Monkey Island was one of many many journey games introduced down when Telltale Games abruptly imploded two years in the past, laying off most of their staff earlier than closing solely. While homeowners of games like Monkey Island, Back To The Future: The Game or the good Tales From The Borderlands might nonetheless obtain and play them, the builders’ catalogue was unceremoniously faraway from sale.
In time, a few of these would come again. The Walking Dead got a definitive rerelease final 12 months, and a shambling corpse resembling Telltale rose final 12 months to attempt to deliver again a few of their older games. They’d even wish to make new ones like The Wolf Among Us 2 – although with a lot of the expertise behind that studio now scattered to the winds, that’s very a lot a wait and see sitch.
Still! Tales Of Monkey Island is again, with the entire 5-part sequence again on sale underneath publishers Athlon Games. As I perceive, it was a fairly divisive factor – handing one of many best-known Lucasarts point-n-clicks to newcomers Telltale, popping Threepwood into 3D. From taking a look at some actually historical posts on the positioning, it additionally appears Telltale hadn’t quite sorted out this episodic pricing lark, both.
But the necessary that is that it’s again on sale, one thing that also sadly can’t be stated for a lot of Telltale’s catalogue. Tales Of Monkey Island is presently 50% off over on Steam and GOG for £7.74 / €8.39 / $9.99, with GOG being somewhat pricier in Euros and Pounds. Don’t ask me why.
