No, this isn't a holdover from April Fools' Day, the creator of the classic Monkey Island series Ron Gilbert has announced that he's working on a follow-up to Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, and it's coming this year...!
But unfortunately, that's about all we know so far. Platforms haven't been announced, so Return to Monkey Island could be a PC exclusive (at least at launch). There's reason to be hopeful though, as the developer is Gilbert's Terrible Toybox studio which previously launched Thimbleweed Park on Xbox, so hopefully Monkey Island gets the same treatment.
We'll keep a close eye out for more details on this one, but in the meantime, you can watch the trailer above.
Announcing Return to Monkey Island, the long-awaited follow-up to the legendary Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge by Ron Gilbert's Terrible Toybox in collaboration with Devolver Digital and Lucasfilm Games, coming 2022.

I had my birthday a while ago but this is the best belated birthday present I've ever had!
A new Monkey Island! I'll get my grog and toast to that!
To think, we're finally going to get the Monkey Island 3 we never got, a mere 31 years after LeChuck's Revenge.
Not to disparage those other Monkey Island games, of course. Curse was quite good and Telltale did a fine job with Tales. (We don't talk about Escape...)
Well it's not like i needed an excuse to replay the first 2 but i'll use it
I almost cried when I read this news. Such good memories with this game
Am I dreaming? My most anticipated game of the year! I honestly don't know what to do...
Uses rubber chicken with pulley in the middle on zip line!
Instantly most anticipated game of the year. This makes me so happy
The 2nd one is free on PC this month with amazon prime.
When are the Monkey Island games coming to consoles?
My most anticipated game of the year as well! I've waited so long for this news!
