Return to Monkey Island, the continuation of the story from he Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge now has a first gameplay trailer. With a return of series creator Ron Gilbert and developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, it's certainly an exciting game to keep an eye on.

About it:
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.
We don't quite know what platforms it will be on yet as it's all "TBA" (to be announced).
You can follow it on Steam.

Everything looks wrong and abstract and cheap.
And it's the worst kind of "everything is flat" abstraction.
Usually, a new Monkey Island game would be a certain purchase for me, but I have to be able to at least look at it without disgust.
And I thought Monkey Island 4 looked bad... I mean, yeah it did, but at least it was that usual "early 3D looks like shit, deal with it" kind of bad.

Also, like everyone else, not a big fan of the art style or animation -- mostly the animation that the art style requires, I think. It reminds me of the 2D art you see for Pixar movies sometimes, like Monsters Inc, or the art that gets used for the preschool books related to them.

And it's pretty dramatic, which is good. A bit abstract is IMO fine for Monkey Island, which is definitely leaning out of realism and into "telling a classic tale".
