Monkey island is kind of a legendary series. PC point and click adventure games from Lucas Arts that, while maybe not the best games the company ever made in the genre (I think that title either goes to Sam and Max hit the road or Grim Fandango) are endlessly funny and replayable games.

The series follows the misadventures of Guybrush Threepwood, in his journey to become a notorious pirate and also to defeat the plans of evil pirate LeChuck. For context, these games started in 1990, so no, it was not ripping of Pirates of the Caribbean, if anything Pirates of the Caribbean ripped off Monkey Island.

Lucas film games (not LucasArts, they were shut down a few years back when disney acquired lucasfilm, RIP) have recently confirmed a new monkey island game, Named “return to monkey island” will be coming soon, and will be lead by the original writer and director of the series Ron Guilbert.

Alongside Guilbert, the trailer also confirms some other names returning to the series, such as composers Micheal Land, Peter McConnel and Clint Bajakian, as well as Dominic Armanto as the voice of Guybrush. Rex Crowle of Little big Planet and Tearaway fame is onboard as the art Lead.

The game is scheduled for a release late this year.

Guilbert had actually announced on april 1st that he was working on a new game, although many dismissed this as a joke. However, today he posted to his Blog “I felt bad about the April Fools’ joke so over the weekend I whipped up the game so no one was disappointed.” and along with it showed a trailer that had just dropped on devolver digitals youtube channel.

Guilbert has not worked on a monkey island game since the second installment, however Lucasarts did make 3 more games in that time, such as cures of Monkey Island in 1997, Escape from Monkey Island in 2000, and tales from Monkey island in 2009, which was also developed by telltale games.

Guilbert himself has recently done some work with double fine, studio of former Lucasarts employee Tim Schafer, working on “the cave” in 2013, as well as making tumbleweed park in 2017 with his new studio terrible toybox.

Star Wars 1313 is now a mostly forgotten project that was announced by Lucasarts back in 2012. The project was shelved indefinitely (read, Canceled) back in 2013 when disney acquired Lucasfilm and all other subsidiary studios.

The game was supposed to open with the player controlling an all new bounty hunter character… before they where murdered by Boba Fett in the first level, with the game then progressing with the players playing as the infamous bounty hunter. The game would mostly be set in level 1313 of the city world Coriscant.

Recently, some footage of gameplay from starwars 1313 surfaced online, showing someone playing as Boba Fett, and giving us a glimpse at what could have been.

Earlier this week EA confirmed that Titanfall 2 Developer Respawn where working on 3 new starwars games. These are a sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order, a star wars FPS game helmed by Medal of Honor co-creator Peter Hirschmann, and a Strategy game developed in collaboration with Bit Reactor, a studio formed from former XCOM and Civilization devs.

EA no-longer has the exclusivity rights to the starwars IP, as last January Lucasfilm confirmed it was partnering with Ubisoft for a new open world game. Furthermore, Detroit: become Human dev Quantic Dream have recently announced Star-Wars eclipse.

A long time ago (February to exact) in a galaxy not so far away (Nintendo Direct showcase), we saw the announcement of Zynga’s Star Wars: Hunters. The upcoming 4v4 arena battler will be hitting our iOS, Android and Switch screens in the not so distant feature. However, not much has been shown of the game despite a September cinematic trailer. That is until now.

We were introduced to some of the lore and characters in the game, adding extra layers to the Star Wars mythology we all love so much. The game will be set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, and players look to compete in arenas based off of famous locations in the Star Wars universe. Whilst this does sound extremely cool on paper, how well would it translate over to our phones and consoles? It seems we’ve finally got our answer with this new game play trailer. The answer is- still pretty amazing.

Check out the action-packed trailer for yourselves down below. Could this soon be entering the list for the most played Switch games? We certainly hope so.

Star Wars Hunters: Characters And Release Dates

We weren’t kidding right? It does look like we’ve got a rather exciting Star Wars Adventure on our hands here. Let’s just hope the game runs as smoothly as this trailer shows it out to be. This is what the developers had to say on the games official website.

“Join the greatest Hunters from across the Star Wars™ galaxy on the planet of Vespaara where high-stakes competitions are awaiting them in The Arena. Engage in thrilling third person combat to dominate grand battlefields set in a range of adventurous maps that evoke iconic Star Wars worlds. Mix and match teams, use skill, tactics and customize your Hunters to find a winning strategy and reap the spoils of victory in the all-new free-to-play game”.

Obviously, this adds a really interesting new dynamic to the Star Wars gaming world. If the distinct character designs are anything to go by, the game is certainly going to be unique. It’s nice to see a different take on characters within the Star Wars universe, as sometimes they can get quite repetitive. Jedi this, Bounty Hunter that, sometimes its not just the clones that look exactly the same as each other. Whether we’ll see any of the in-game characters make appearances in other media remains to be seen, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out.

In regards to the games release date, well it’s currently slated for sometime in 2022. Clearly this a little vague, but we’re sure to have more news on that sometime soon. However, we do also know that the game has had a soft-launch on Android in India, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. Be sure to keep an eye on what those countries think of the game so far!

In the meantime, check out this article on what iconic Star Wars character was cut from the a Battlefront II DLC. Additionally, if you want to pre-order another upcoming Star Wars title, then this is one you’ll be wanting.

The dynamic duo are coming back, hopefully better than ever! Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space is set to be remastered which will see our favourite detectives return to our screens looking sharper than ever before. The second season of Telltale Games’ series of episodic point-and-click adventures will see its squeaky clean edition unveiled on 8th December for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

For those unfamiliar with the pair, they first made their appearance in 1987. This was as a comic called Sam & Max: Freelance Police written by Steve Purcell. Subsequently, the cartoons quickly gained cult status which started this thirty year relationship, culminating in a transition from comic books to a LucasArts’ graphic adventure game.

First released in 2007, Beyond Time and Space follows the insanely wacky mishaps of crime-fighting dog and bunny Sam and Max, who made their video game debut fifteen years earlier in Hit the Road. Take a quick look at the upcoming remastered games trailer right here below:

Sam And Max Make A Triumphant Return On New Consoles

This new remaster will be developed by Skunkape, who recently acquired the rights to Telltale’s Sam and Max adventures in 2018. Unfortunately this was because Telltale had to shut its doors, but luckily many of the team  worked on the original games back in the day.

However, fans of the series do not despair. Whilst it isn’t Telltale, Skunkape are more than capable of providing us with a Sam and Max remaster which we deserve. This was evident at the end of last year, when we were treated to an impressively thorough remaster of Telltale’s first Sam & Max season, Save the World. This has made us even more hyped to see what they can do with the second season. Here’s what they had to say on their upcoming remaster:

“Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire. And then things get even weirder.”

What can we expect to see in this remaster? If the last one is anything to go by, we’ll be greeted with enhanced graphics, improved lip-syncing, lighting enhancements and a 16:9 aspect ratio with higher resolution support. Not only this, but on the new consoles we should have high quality audio and game pads which can be used alongside mouse and keyboard.

Come back here for more news on the remaster when we have it! In the meantime, check out this article on another famous detective. Additionally, check out this awesome police LEGO set which will make anyone’s Christmas that bit better this year!

There has been an awakening in recent years for Star Wars games. After a slow start, Disney are now starting to realise the importance video games have on the franchise as a whole. As a result, fans are starting to become excited at the prospect of the vast new adventures they’ll be able to go on.

Along with a further five games in development, the teasing of a new Star Wars video game announcement for December will have everyone excited.  At this time, not much is known about the announcement except it is part of the ‘Bring Home The Bounty’ line of product reveals.

It should be noted that Disney are yet to reveal any official information about the release. Nevertheless, that shouldn’t stop fans from becoming intrigued and theorising about the title.

‘Bring Home The Bounty’: Star Wars Hype Begins

‘Bring Home The Bounty’ is Star Wars’ newest merchandise push which started this week. Every Tuesday throughout the remainder of the year, Disney will reveal their new Star Wars products. This is supposedly in anticipation for the release of the upcoming Disney+ show: Book of Boba. Everyone’s jumping aboard the hype train for that one.

The website provides a roadmap for every week with icons related to a specific product. The week of December 14 has us the most intrigued, with the icon being a game controller. Clearly, this must be related to another gaming venture for Disney. With Quantic Dream striking a deal with Lucasarts, perhaps this will be our first look at what they’re offering.

As previously mentioned, this announcement really could involve anything. In my opinion, that’s the beauty of Star Wars. There’s an endless list of tales and adventures which can be translated into a great gaming experience.

According to the article, “Expect reveals of new items inspired by everything from The Book of Boba Fett, (…) and The Mandalorian to classics like the Skywalker saga films, animated series including Star Wars: The Bad Batch and Star Wars: Visions, and much more.”

Moreover, it seems this could also be related to the upcoming 50th Anniversary of LucasFilm. Paul Southern (Senior Vice President at Lucasfilm) had this to add:

“We wanted to find a way to celebrate all of our beloved characters and stories from the classic to the new and everything in-between.”

Fifty years of LucasFilm has unquestionably given us so much Star Wars content to be happy with. But you can never have too much, can you?

The post Disney Tease New Star Wars Game Annoucement first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Lego Star Wars is coming to a console near you! That’s right everyone, LucasArts are bringing a new Lego Star Wars game for the latest movie, The Force Awakens. The Lego Star Wars franchise has been a very popular group of games in the past and there hasn’t been a game since 2011 but it will return this year.

Shortly after the release of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, in 2005, LucasArts decided to make a Lego Star Wars game. Lego Star Wars: The Video Game was the title of the first Lego Star Wars game and was based around the latest three movies: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

The following year they released Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy, which featured the next three films of Star Wars, better known as the Original Trilogy. The films featured on this game were: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Both Lego games released were incredible and great fun. In 2007 the two previous Lego Star Wars games were made into one big game called, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. This was done so the user only needed one disc for both of the games and they were also released onto the newer version consoles of the time, being the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The last game before the new Lego Star Wars is set to come out was Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. This was based on the animated TV Show, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This game wasn’t wasn’t quite as popular as the previous games, but still a good game none the less.

And now, in 2016, we have a new Lego Star Wars game about to release. The previous Lego Star Wars games were based around two of the trilogies, yet this next game is only about the latest film. I’m sure the game will have as much action and missions as in the previous games but all of the missions being from The Force Awakens.

With the release of the game coming after one film, you can be sure that we will have a game for each of the two new films that are yet to come out, and then perhaps a trilogy game after that. It’s fair to say we have a lot of Lego Star Wars coming our way!

Check out the trailer below, it looks incredible.
