I guess the inclusion of Murray (the talking skull) makes The Curse of Monkey Island canon then? :)

- geoah 5y agoI was wondering the same. I love MI3 so much (first game in the series I played) but from a story perspective it just ignored the ending of the previous game. Would love to see Ron actually find a way to reconsile that instead of sweeping it under the rug.
- CobrastanJorji 5y agoTechnically, it pays respect to the ending of MI2 by opening the game with Guybrush inexplicably lost at sea in a bumper car.
- polpo 5y agoA while ago Ron Gilbert laid out what it'd look like if and when he was able to make another Monkey Island game: https://grumpygamer.com/if_i_made_another_monkeyisland https://grumpygamer.com/if_i_made_another_monkeyisland. He said he'd fork off the Monkey Island canon after the 2nd game, but also "that doesn't mean I won't steal some good ideas or characters from other games. I'm not above that." So I guess Murray (and using Dominic Armato as the voice of Guybrush) are part of that.
- CobrastanJorji 5y agoFrom his "If I Made Another Monkey Island" post quoted in the ad: > All the games after Monkey Island 2 don't exist in my Monkey Island universe. ...That doesn't mean I won't steal some good ideas or characters from other games. I'm not above that. So it can be both! Monkey Island 3 is no longer canon (which is a shame because it's fantastic), but also Murray can be upgraded into the canon universe anyway (TV Tropes would probably consider this an example of a "Canon Immigrant").
- seba_dos1 5y agoJust like the factoid quoted by the teaser trailer, this seems outdated by now ;) > MI3 doesn't go out of canon. We were very careful about that. Murray is in this game. - Ron Gilbert, https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/1511022135191384067 https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/1511022135191384067
