The Secret of Monkey Island to XLA
Yay! It’s true!
The Secret of Monkey Island (Special Edition) is coming to Xbox Live Arcade this wednesday (15th of July). The German USK Rating Board reported about this back in May, but something told me it was just too good to be true.
I was wrong!
The publisher announced that the 1990 action adventure reboot would be released on Xbox Live, Steam, “and other online distribution channels.” LucasArts also “may have another platform announcement to make very, very soon” for the game, according to producer Craig Derrick in an interview with UK daily The Guardian posted on June 29.
As outlined in GameSpot’s preview, the game features several major changes, including revamped high-res hand-painted art, “close-up” cutscenes during dialogue scenes, full-speech voice acting, and a brand-new score recorded from live instruments. The special edition also allows players to revert the graphics to nostalgically look exactly like the original game’s, with pixelated characters and noiseless dialogue.
