LucasArts are putting on a show this afternoon for people who want a sneak peek atSecret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. At 3PM Pacific, people from the publisherslashdeveloper will be playing the upcoming downloadable title over Justin.TVat this location. They’ll also be taking viewer questions, so feel free to ask about Guybrush Threepwood’s new mullet if its really bothering you that much.
We’ll take this event as another sign thatSecret of Monkey Island: Special Editionwill be hitting Xbox LIVE Arcade sooner this summer as opposed to later. When I spoke with the game’s producer Craig Derrick earlier this week, he told me that the game was finished. LucasArts was just waiting for some pieces to fall together before ditching the flimsy “summer” release.
“The special edition is finished and will be launched simultaneously worldwide, but we’re just waiting for a few things to align before announcing an ‘official date,’” Derrick told me.
If you’re a Monkey Island fan, get your popcorn ready:Secret of Monkey Island: Special Editionlooks like it’ll rock.
