About this game

Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.

Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.

Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling
Bringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls. Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze.

Embark on Archipelago Adventures
Navigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces. Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike.

Created by a Legendary Crew
The new chapter in the Monkey Island series marks the return of the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, joined by game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway) and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).

Ratings and reviews

I played Monkey Island 3 many years ago on a PC on both difficulties. Having this game (different story) now on my phone is amazing. I absolutely love this game, these characters, the storyline, the music...great nostalgia. And I live how classic characters are brought back. I can play at my own pace whenever I want. Good job LucasFilm. I hope this game lives forever and ever. I'll keep coming back

I was a fan of the originals it was nice to see a reboot was available. This game is very easy and pretty short. It lacks the comedy and cleverness of the originals. It used to be fun getting things wrong to see what happens. Now everything is very obvious. It would have been nice to see some of the old elements like insult sword fighting but alas we love in much different times now where I suppose it would be unethical and abusive if the puzzles were too hard. 😅 at least we have the memories

If i could give this more than 5 stars i would. The quests, the diagolue, everything except the art style (which is miles away from pixel art.. but nice) reminded me so much of the original games. I loved going back to old locations. I saw a review complaining about the credits at the beginning but if you loved monley island you live to hear that song and the nostalgia so no complaints there! The puzzles were taxing in places but never impossible. I loved it!
