In the world of gaming, crossovers are always exciting, and the latest one to hit the scene is the “Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island”.
This update brings together the co-op pirate game Sea of Thieves, and the iconic point-and-click adventure series, Monkey Island, into the same universe.
The Crossover of Two Universes
The trailer released at the Xbox Games Showcase revealed major characters from Monkey Island, including Guybrush Threepwood and LeChuck. Familiar locations, such as the titular Monkey Island, were also featured. The story begins on Melee Island, where everyone seems to be quite taken with Guybrush.
However, as the official description of the release notes, this indicates that “something’s quite clearly wrong.”
The Launch and What to Expect
The Legend of Monkey Island is set to launch on July 20 and will be free for all players. The expansion will be released in the form of three Tall Tales over the course of three months.
If the previous release, “A Pirate’s Life”, a tribute to Pirates of the Caribbean, is anything to go by, fans can expect the Monkey Island tribute to be just as impressive in scope and detail.
There has been no official confirmation of the voice talent for the Monkey Island characters. However, if the voice of Guybrush isn’t the legendary Dominic Armato, it’s an incredibly impressive soundalike.
More from the Xbox Games Showcase
The Xbox Games Showcase didn’t stop at the Sea of Thieves update. Other reveals included “Star Wars: Outlaws”, the new Fable, and first looks at “Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty” and “Like A Dragon 8”. Not to mention the extensive deep dive into Starfield Direct. And there’s still more to come from the E3 2023 schedule.
Wrapping Up
The Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island promises to be an exciting adventure for fans of both franchises. With the launch date fast approaching, players eagerly await the chance to dive into this new world.
