On his arrival at the bar, he discovered that the old leaders had been replaced by younger pirates led by Captain Madison. It was now a race to see who would get there first. He also learned that LeChuck was at the Mêlée Docks preparing his ship (called Le Ship) for his own quest to find the secret. The Lookout suggested that he speak to the Pirate Leaders at the Scumm Bar who could help him finance it. It began on Mêlée Island where Threepwood needed a new ship and crew in order to begin his adventure. Guybrush Threepwood tells his son Boybrush Threepwood the story of his search for the true Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Mêlée Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. He continued, "Still can't believe it! Ahhhhhhh!" 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.It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. I had a quick scout online and came across a tweet from the man himself thanking the Return to Monkey Island team for "topping life goals". Well, yes, it is in fact that Neil Druckmann.
Surely not the Neil Druckmann whose Ellie and Joel can be heard cussing left, right and centre in a game that is definitely not for children. "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.
