Ron Gilbert really wants Disney to sell him the Monkey Island IP

Threepwood shall rise once more… maybe

Monkey Island is a pretty major series in the history of adventure games. Famed for its humour, story, and setting, the series later received an absolutely gorgeous set of remake🐻s. I know countless people who’ve been inspired by and adore the series, and references to it still pop up in games released today.

Monkey Island 🍒is fantastic, and now it looks like creator Ron Gilbert wants to have another crack at i🍌t.

, Gilbert explains what bug-fixing in 1990 looked like. Seriously, it’s fascinating to read what ’90s game development was like. He also lets slip he really wants to make a new game:

I don’t know if I will ever get to make another Monkey Island. I always envisioned the game as a trilogy and I really hope I do, but I don’t know if it will ever happen. Monkey Island is now owned by Disney and they haven’t shown any desire to sell me the IP. I don’t know if I could make  without complete control over whaꦿt I was mak🍒ing and the only way to do that is to own it. Disney: Call me.

Maybe someday. Please don’t suggest I do a Kickstarter ❀to get the money, that’s not possible without Disney first agreeing to sell it and🧔 they haven’t done that.

Disney, come on. Do it, sell him the IP so we can all get the Monkey Island 3 we&rsq🍎uo;ve wanted, and see if you can give him the people who made the remakes while you&rsqu💯o;re at it. Those games are way prettier than they have any right to be.
