Monkey Island is Crossing Over with Sea of Thieves in The Legend of Monkey Island

I mean, it makes sense

The crossover we’ve all been waiting for has finally been announced: The Lucasarts classic is coming to Sea of Thieves as part of its Legend of Monkey Island update.

The Secret of Monkey Island first launched in 1990, and is one of my favorite games of all times. Meanwhile, Sea of Thieves is one of those games that I’ve wanted to get around to, but absolutely haven’t in all the years it’s been available.

The trailer for Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island shows a group of Scallawags arriving on Melee Island and quickly going on a tour of all the hot spots. They talk to the Voodoo Lady, Stan, and even Guybrush Threepwood himself. They even find their way to Monkey Island and the second biggest monkey head I’ve ever seen!

See that? I’m loaded with Lucasarts references.

Anyway, it’s being promised that “three tall tales” will be added to Sea of Thieves over the span of three months, starting July 20, 2023.
