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.

The Force is strong with Disney Star Wars games at the moment. In the last few years we’ve had Jedi Fallen Order, Star Wars Squadrons and Star Wars Battlefront II. In the upcoming years we can expect to see new LEGO games, KOTOR remaster and much much more.

However, there once was a gaming period before Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012. Whilst that may feel like a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the games back then are still revered by many fans to this day. One such example of this is Star Wars: The Old Republic, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. We know, we can’t believe it either.

The successful MMORPG followed up upon the similarly successful Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games. It added to both the mythos and gameplay elements by allowing you a wider variety of character creation. Choosing from a Jedi, Bounty Hunter or Sith and taking on this large-scale Star Wars adventure was an experience people would never forget.

In order to celebrate this special occasion, BioWare has released a new 4K remaster of one Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s original trailers. Before we go into anymore detail, have a quick look at what you think about it below:

‘Deceived’ Trailer Shows Star Wars At It’s Best

Originally released on June 1 2009, Blur Studios trailer has gone down as a classic in the Star Wars community. It features the extremely popular yet non-canon Sith Lord, Darth Malgus, and his assault on the Jedi Temple. Coruscant has never looked this stunning outside of the prequels.

The then beautiful clashing of dark and light provided glimpses of Star Wars spectacle which at the time had not been seen in years. This is exactly why the trailers have become so iconic to many members of the Star Wars fan base. ‘Deceived’ undoubtedly holds up to this day but with these graphical enhancements it really couldn’t look any better.

Not only this, but Bioware have made plans to continue re-releasing the rest of The Old Republic’s trailers in 4K. It appears that Blur Studios other trailer, ‘Hope’, will be part of these plans. We certainly can’t wait to see that one either, and look forward to giving Blur Studio great credit once more. Since the Old Republic trailers, they’ve worked on many other titles such as the  remastered cutscenes of Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo Wars 2 and Titanfall. An impressive portfolio indeed.

Now if you’re looking for another ultimate Star Wars experience, then pre-order the Skywalker Saga right now! We’re so excited for this one, and any Star Wars fan should be too!
