Nintendo: "Placeholder price". The End. 🔚
Yeah, it's probably the final price, but Devolver didn't yet settle on a release date. As soon as they have one, we'll know.
This might not be your run off the mill "Spit it out like you'll win your spit in gold" release date decision. Devolver might be, more than for any game before, weighing their options. Not just when they'll release, but also what and where. I think that right now, day in, day out, they're discussing more release platforms, more voiceover languages, a physical release, and merchandising, that all should best case scenario come out on the same day. And that makes setting that release date incredibly difficult.
I get that! I may have to go dark upon release date announcement anyway until the GOG version is confirmed and in their catalog. If it comes to that, I may have a going away present ready for you guys (Yes, @Toymafia88, you've seen part of that already).
Spoilers - It's frigging awesome 😉
Also, i will also be going dark when we get a release date.
I honestly wish i didn't see some of the reveals in the monkey madness.

If I had to guess, the release date is probably what Devolver was hinting at last month and will be the ones to reveal it, since it was their tweet hyping up news this month.
I don't think it will be something that a Monkey Monday will reveal. Those seem like something Ron and Dave are heading and is more tied to game mechanics itself.
Devolver seems to heading more of the traditional marketing and I think they will be the ones to reveal date sometime this month.
Yeah i feel like your onto something. I could see it being seperate from the monkey mondays.
Ok i'm betting a 3-headed monkey 🍌 that we will get a second trailer and release date at Gamecom 2022
Gamescom 2022
24-28 August 2022
I kinda predicted nintendo direct so i'm going to use my fortune powers for good and say it will be at Gamescom

I wouldn't be surprised if inventory was next. We got a look at a revamped chapter screen, preexisting location, dialogue choice, preexisting characters, and a voice reveal -- inventory and/or UI seems like a logical next step.
At this point, a release-date reveal looks more plausible to arrive after the game is released.
Good point, i feel like if its not this monday then it will be sometime this month.
But yeah the release date reveal is a mystery to me. I'm not sure if they are planning another trailer with the release date or if they are just going to do a surprise launch trailer on the final Monkey Monday.
-
So any predictions of what the next Monkey Monday will be?
I assume it will be another character reveal. Probably Elaine.
I'm honestly amazed they still haven't shown off how the inventory works or a puzzle.

That's exactly what I like about it! Makes him more crazy.
Yeah its growing on me, just caught me off guard.
It makes me think of how the Joker can switch his pitch up and down and it adds to the craziness.
Random thought... what if Mark Hamill voiced Le Chuck?

Give me the damn game already! Sorry. Just want to play it so badly...
Man... me to... release date announcement next monday... please? 😁😂

Yep... i'm already adusting to the voice. Its weird as the pitch of the voice goes up and down. When its down, for a second i hear a bit of Earl.
7 minutes ago, Marius said:It's Guybrush! He's eavesdropping, that rascal.
Oh wow yeah this must be the same part of the game as it has the same weather.
So everyone... where do you think this fits in the game?
My bet is we start at the carnival, then it leads to a confrontation on the ship with Le Chuck.
Guybrush and Lechuck propose a truce and head to Melee Island to confront the voodoo lady?
-
Going to be honest not a fan of the voice.
I'm glad they went for something different than Earl Boen but I hoped they find someone with a more sinister voice. This voice feels more comical than threatening.
But I have a feeling it will grow on me just like the art style did.
Update: the more i relisten to it the more i'm already starting to adjust to it. 😁
P.s props to people who guessed Lechuck, I was way off with my guess.

The Grog machine is a time machine, calling it now.
Maybe you have a voodoo grog recipe puzzle with 3-4 ingrediants to put in the grog machine.

It's surely nonsense, but it just occurred to me: what if LeChuck IS Guybrush... from the future? 🤔
I love crazy theories like this and I wouldn't put it past Ron.
Ron mentioned he once had an idea for Guybrush set a 1000 years in the future. So i don't think time travel is out of the question.
-
If Ron is serious and not pranking us then i think its either Stan or Murray.
Ron knows that they are both fan favourites. In fact, I'm calling it now the next video will be this scene with Murray:

I also would like a different take on Le Chuck's voice.
No offence to the voice actor who voiced Le Chuck for Tales in episode 1 but I found it jarring where it drifted in and out of sounding like Earl Boen and then not.
I think its better to have a voice actor do their own thing, i'm also all for an even more sinister threatening voice.

My first thought is LeChuck. Anyone wanna place some bets lol
Knowing Ron he's messing with us and its a obscure returning character like the guy who sales you the map in mi1 or the rat from m1 and m2. 😂

I honestly can't wait to see this iconic area in Return of Monkey Island. 😍
I'm happy they haven't shown it yet.
Also do you think the Voodoo lady is in the same room as Secret of Monkey Island?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there are even more returning characters we haven't seen yet. I doubt they'd want to spoil all the cameos and returning characters before the game comes out.
I think the reason why there is more returning characters in this game than any other is because according to the website, this is the conclusion to the Monkey Island series.
If that's true then it makes sense to bring back alot of characters to wrap it up nicely.
Oh while its on my mind, do you all really think this is the final Monkey Island?

I kinda hope Melee Island is limited to the town/docks and the rest of the game is more heavily focused on Brr Muda/Terror Island and any other locations we may not know about. All I hope for is we get something new added to the world that is just as extensive and worthy of exploration as the places we're already familiar with. I hope for example that Brr Muda isn't limited to the courthouse and the building opposite that we saw last week.
Hmm I could see that being the case because we haven't seen anything outside the docks, lookout spot , town or governor mansion which could all be explored together without leaving the map. So its entirely possible we only explore a limited chunk of Melee Island with no map to walk around.
-
So i noticed they've been showing alot of Melee Island.
Do you think all old locations will be present (circus, forest, bridge, Stan's old ship area, Meathooks house etc)
Also with the new key shop, do you expect more locations we haven't seen on Melee Island.

This is going to be a long month, waiting for a release date...
Ill try and keep my expectations in check for next monday 😅

Sorry for the moan a second a go.
On a more positive note, the pirates in this shot really remind of hd spirites of mi 1 or 2.
Its really clever how much it captured the feel of sprites (where you can make out what they are but there is room to use your imagination to fill in the blanks) while still being modern.
Also the background is great too.
12 minutes ago, KestrelPi said:@Rum Rogers pointed out on Twitter that those 3 pirates in the shop look an awful lot like the original 3 pirate leaders.
My guess about what the pirate leaders are doing there is that since the new leaders got rid of them, they've imposed a whole new different set of 3 trials that you need to pass to become a pirate, and having been kicked out of the pirate club they are now working in this fish shop while they try to live up to the new pirates' weird demands.
Omg your right! I didn't recognise them straight away.
At first I thought the 3 pirates in the scumm bar were reimagined versions of them. I didn't realise they were new characters.

Here we are
Curse my overhyping personality...
I thought we'd at least get something new gameplay wise like showing us how puzzles work, or our inventory.
I really dont want to see more rooms as its just going to spoil the surprise and take away from exploration.
If i had a release date I'd stop checking these and just wait it out haha
Its weird... this feels like step down from last weeks which had dialogue and 2 rooms. It feels like it should have been posted earlier maybe before the Melee Island clip.

One hour until the next drop.
Increasingly I think it's going to just be a normal thing, and we'll hear more later in the month, after Devolver's next release (happening on the 11th) is out the way
Your most likely right but I hope your wrong lol.

I'm getting tired of saying the release date must be coming soon...
But the release date must be coming soon...
