The Editor Welcomes You

He would have welcomed you, but the CEO is currently busy vetting a sudden (but not unexpected) offer in politics.

News from All Over

Devolver smacks down with some almost-numbers for Return to Monkey Island.

Devolver Digital @devolverdigital

Return to Monkey Island released one month ago today and Stan is proud to announce that it's the fastest selling game in the legendary series!

While it's probably safe to take that news with a grain of salt, we can assume they wouldn't have tweeted it had ReMI tanked. Does it mean... anything? Chances of seeing another Monkey Island have probably increased, and maybe we'll see some other LEC properties hitting the limelight. Surely the world is clamoring for The Dig 2.

Elsewhere, during a slow news week, there are two ReMI interviews: Dave and Ron sat down with Norwegian state television while A Sound Effect talked sound design with Elise Kates and Andy Martin.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, we remember the Monkey Island that never was: Mutiny on Monkey Island.

Who remembers “Mutiny On #MonkeyIsland?” An early Monkey Island draft.

And for those who want a Return to Monkey Island Part III spoiler, we take a quick look at a connection to The Secret of Monkey Island.

#ReturnToMonkeyIsland (spoilers in video for part 3) ties in a small scene from The Secret of #MonkeyIsland. #MonkeyIslandMonday -- the most glorious Mojo CEO has expressed great pleasure over this connection.
