Monkey Island: Special Edition Collection retail-bound in Europe

by on Jul.11, 2011, under News


Over the last two years, LucasArts released revamped versions of its classic adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The games included new visual styles (to fit in with the newer games such as Curse of Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island), speech, enhanced control and a hint system.

Despite numerous opportunities for you to get them for a pittance on Steam, LucasArts has decided to release the game on a disc.

Of course, they’ve added a few sweeteners in there to justify your purchase, such as concept art and the soundtracks from each game, along with never-before-seen concept drawings and art from ILM’s planned-but-never-released Monkey Island feature film.

No word on pricing or a release outside of Europe just yet (just import it, slackers), but it will be available on September 9th.
