New Monkey Island Rumoured, False

Posted by Zonk on from the threep-wood-f-t-w dept.

The British Gaming Blog dispels a rumour floating through the internets this week. The site Rumor Reporter is claiming knowledge of a new Monkey Island game in the works at LucasArts. Coincidentally, Steve Purcell (creator of the Sam and Max series) sends some concept art to the Monkey Island fansite The World of Monkey Island. As McBacon, at the BGB says, this is probably just interesting timing. "As much as we'd all love to believe a new Monkey Island is in the works (even after Escape from MI), and as great as the coincidence is, Steve doesn't even work at Lucas Arts anymore, so the dots just don't join up. Don't hold your breath for E3, but enjoy the concept art." Update: 06/13 19:12 GMT by Z : Added the crucial but missing words 'Sam and Max' to the article.

    So basically this entire article managed to get me excited for the less then a second it took me to read the first three words in the title and then into a painful depression. Thanks a lot Slashdot.

    after doing some heavy research, i found a release date confirming the new MI will hit stores 1 week before Duke Nukem Forever.

    Is the groan at the uselessness of this "article?"

    Let's re-summarize:

    "There was a rumor that might excite you, but it's not true."

    Wow, the level of content is staggering.
