E3: Tales of Monkey Island E3 2009 trailer

LucasArts and Telltale have revealed that they will be releasing The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition on Xbox LIVE Arcade PCs this Summer!

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, we are told, faithfully re-imagines the classic game. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with all-new HD graphics, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system has been added to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated HD graphics and the original’s classic look.

Also, beginning already this July, Telltale will continue the stories of Guybrush Threepwood with a new five-episode saga. In Tales of Monkey Island you will experience the humor, romance, and swashbuckling action the Monkey Island games are famous for and unravel an insidious plot which is revealed across the course of the series. Tales of Monkey Island is set to premiere on PC and WiiWare.

This seven minute long trailer offers developer interviews and in-game footage.
