For almost a decade now, the Monkey Island franchise has been considered dead, with its original developer LucasArts shutting down in 2012 after Disney acquired LucasFilm for $4.05 billion. Since then, it's seemed that LucasArts' classic titles like Monkey Island would be forever gone, outside of the surprising remasters of Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throttle from ex-LucasArts developers at Double Fine Productions.
