According to the lovely new website for the game, Return to Monkey Island will be the "conclusion" to the entire series.

The website is marketed as a unique point-and-click adventure with tonnes of interactive features inspired by the Monkey Island films.

However, if you go to the Overview section, you'll learn that Return to Monkey Island will be "the exciting climax to the Monkey Island series," as noticed by Eurogamer.

Fans may be disappointed to learn that this could be the last instalment in the venerable adventure game series after a very long wait

[{ "selector": ".gtfgn-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 402px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".dsdgw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-137.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

the most recent title in the series being Tales of Monkey Island in 2009.

[{ "selector": ".klojd-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 432px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".gtaan-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-137.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Of course, it's possible that it was intended to be the conclusion of the narrative and that prequels would provide a way for it to continue in the future.

[{ "selector": ".abgta-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 382px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".dbppp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-137.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

It's also likely that the creator Terrible Toybox is referring to this as the third and last instalment of the Monkey Island series rather than ruling out any further releases

[{ "selector": ".dgwqu-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 382px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".bijdj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-137.4491534632606px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The first two video games, The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, will be directly followed by Return to Monkey Island
