The people at LucasArts and Telltale probably think I’m a retard. On my way to theStar Wars: The Old Republicdemonstration at E3 2009, I stumbled and then stood with my mouth agape in front of two kiosks in the corner of the conference room hallway. The presenters of those two kiosks were showingSecret of Monkey Island: Special EditionandTales of Monkey Island.
E3 is a bubble — we only see and experience the news, but we don’t necessarily hear it. I didn’t know these games existed until that second. And it showed, I’m sure. I grew up withMonkey Islandand have made it plain over the years that some sort of revival needs to happen. And there it was. Two games in the classic franchise set to hit this summer. It was magic.
I digress. In the gallery below is a new collection of screenshots and concept art for Telltale Games’ first episode of theTales of Monkey Islandseries, “Launch of the Screaming Narwhal.” You may rememberseeing a trailer for it earlier this morning, so definitely check that out ifMonkey Islandis your jam.
“Launch of the Screaming Narwhal” will be available soon, like, July 7 soon. I’m out of my mind excited about it. How are you guys feeling?
[Update:Sorry that the images didn’t show up. You should be able to view the concept art now.]
