We're all very excited for Tales of Monkey Island, the episodic return of one of LucasArts' most cherished and venerable point-and-click adventure games. Here's a brand new trailer, unleashed upon Youtube by TellTale Games, where the mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood rescures Elaine from the evil pirate LeChuck. Or at least tries to.

It's looking really good so far, and should be an awesome followup to the series that many thought they'd never see again. So long as the comedy is all in place, I don't think we'll have any problems. Hit the jump for the video. 

[Thanks, SurplusGamer]

You're welcome. Lovin' the new music, and considerably improved visuals since we last saw it.

And-a thank YOU for the link to my Q&A, which was tragically owned by the Michael Jackson news.

This looks Bad-Ass. The first trailer excited me cause, hey, new Monkey Island, but didn't really make me laugh. If the whole game is as funny as what they show here, though, then they've totally sold me.

I read the Q&A, Surplus! It was very informative. I'm getting increasingly interested in this game. I'll probably wait for the Dtoid review, but it's looking more and more like I'll have to buy it.

I was kind of iffy on the new series, but that conversation with Elaine sold me big time. This game is gonna rock.

Grim Fandango looked (and still looks) great.

People have very poor memories as far as graphics go. I think this looks just fine for what it's doing. They were never going to make an episodic 2D Monkey Island game (do you really need me to tell you why that has complications?) and I think they've done a fine job with the style they've gone for.

I think it'll look even better when we see it in the context of Guybrush in a town with lots of scenery, which we still haven't seen since the early pre-polished shots of E3.

I wished they'd made it look like The Curse of Monkey Island again. I'm still pretty excited for this one.

I think it looks (and sounds) great!

The ONLY thing that turned me off (and only slightly) was the mouth synching. Certainly not a dealbreaker though.

And Guybrush is PERFECTLY bumbling. I'd say "I'm Sold!" but I already pre-purchased the game a month ago so nothing has changed other than my excitement level.

DISCOUNT STAN WILL SAIL AGAIN!!!

Looks fantastic! I'm glad Lucasarts was willing to let some of the people who made the series great work on it again.
