And the excellent Dominic Armato, the voice of Guybrush, is also back. But Gilbert and Grossman haven’t written off everything that happened to the series since they left – Murray, a grumpy demonic talking skull from Monkey Island 3, makes a return.

Accompanying this wholesome tweet was a still from the game with Guybrush Threepwood and who I assume is the character Druckmann supplied his voice for.In Star Wars levels of chronological complexity, this game is technically only the third Monkey Island game, despite the fact that it is the sixth to bear that name.

"Neil Druckmann?" my mind tried to compute, as my lips verbalised my amazement.
Return to Monkey Island's Switch launch trailer. It was an amazing moment for me, and as I sat watching the credits roll with my heart feeling pleasantly full I saw a name make its way up the screen that I did not expect to see there - Neil Druckmann. Last night, I finished Return to Monkey Island.
Neil Druckmann, the man behind the gritty The Last of Us games, has a cameo in the delightful, and comparatively very colourful, Return to Monkey Island.
