Tales of Monkey Island is the adventure game from Telltale Games in collaboration with LucasArts. Now Telltale Games has unveiled the final Tales of Monkey Island chapter, Rise of the Pirate God. This chapter is expected to shake the foundation of the classic game franchise.
“The Telltale team set out to evolve episodic entertainment in a bold way with Tales of Monkey Island, and we’ve definitely achieved that,” Dan Connors, CEO and co-founder of Telltale remarked. “Working with the team at LucasArts, we were able to deliver a grand saga with captivating storylines and characters that have engrossed audiences from one month to the next, and we’re proud of the experience we’ve created for new and old fans alike.”
Tales of Monkey Island follows the hapless pirate Guybrush Threepwood on various adventures matching wits with a malicious marquis, overcoming enemies at sea, and nearly getting digested by a huge manatee. Rise of the Pirate God takes off just after the events at the end of chapter 4.
“We’re very pleased with what Telltale has done with Tales of Monkey Island,” LucasArts’ President Darrell Rodriguez said. “From the onset, the Telltale team utilized their impressive creative chops to take Monkey Island in new and unexpected directions, reinforcing their reputation as pioneers in episodic gaming.”
The entire Tales of Monkey Island series can be purchased for a price of 34.95 USD (approx. Rs. 1,630) from the official Telltale Games web site, while individual episodes will cost 8.95 USD (approx. Rs. 420) each. The episodes from the series are also available for WiiWare and the latest episode is scheduled to release on the Wii in the coming weeks.
