This trailer made me really emotional because my childhood best friend and me would play this game so much. He passed away last year so this trailer is really emotional for me.
@Coraldiamond 192 Yeah, I played it at the start of season 9 but not for very long. You just need a break from it sometimes. But there's already some good new stuff to come back to. Season 8 was insane
the thing I hated about games like destiny 2 is that they almost want you to feel bad for not playing 24/7, Rare nails this aspect, they don't penalize you if you take a break
This is THE best birthday gift Rare can give me. The Curse of the monkey island was literally my first PC game, and my absolute favorite. Words cannot describe how happy I am.
Same here!! I've been playing Curse of Monkey Island with my dad and brother since I was 5, Curse will always be my fave video game ever. I lost my freaking mind when I saw this trailer on Steam, I genuinely screamed I was overcome with nostalgia. Can't wait to play this game!!!!!
YESSSSSSS I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS SINCE LAUNCH WHEN I SAW THE MONKEY ISLAND INSPIRED ACHIEVEMENTS. Then when I saw the Monkey Island Easter egg in a Pirates Life, this is all I've wanted!!
I love how they got the looks of the locations from the first Monkey Island game down to the smallest details! Plus: Rubber Chickens with Pulleys in The Middle!!!
How could I not see this coming? This seems like such an obvious crossover, but still seeing the classics in a modern SoT-style is still a shocking pleasure.
HELL YES. The Monkey Island games were such a massive part of my childhood and seeing them pay this much attention into recreating it SoT style is AMAZING. The spinning anchor in the bar, Stan’s notorious unmoving jacket texture, the circus, mansion and chicken puzzles. It’s all here! I am BEYOND excited for this. Finding the Monkey Island easter egg in the pirates life adventure was already jaw dropping for me but NOW WE GET A WHOLE ADVENTURE ABOUTIT?!
Better. According to the description, this is gonna consist of three Tall Tales added over the course of three months, meaning _this is going to be a permanent thing._
Seeing this makes me both happy and a little sad. My Dad isn't able to operate a computer anymore, but he would have loved this so much. He was a major Monkey Island fanboy. He was well into his 50's when the games orginally came out, but he'd be up at all hours of the night trying to figure out that one last puzzle before bed.
Ah god, I can say how happy I am to hear the classic music and seeing the approach to Melee like that. Kinda weird seeing Guybrush with a full beard though, and it’s always good to hear Dominic’s voice
It's a shame Monkey Island isn't Sierra, because otherwise we might have finally got the scrapped Quest for Glory 5 DLC in SoT form XD That said, might finally get to playing those games. I'll see if the remasters are crap like the Sam & Max one.
these animated trailers are always so cool, and i keep hoping we'll get little animated cutscenes in-game with our characters in third-person instead of first
I HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS! The only reason I first started playing Sea of Thieves in the first place all those years ago was because the aesthetic felt so Monkey-Island-ish to me. This is a dream come true.
Got chills watching Melee island pop into view. The Monkey Island games were the first PC games I came to love, and instilled a life long love of all things piratey in me. I will definitely come back to Sea of Thieves to play this. So excited.
That music always gives me chills. Please let us play the curse of monkey island theme. Never expected this crossover but it's certainly not unwelcome.
In my head I will always call him "Trep(p)wood". The 'e' must be mute. 😉 Never played a game with him that had anyone ever voice his name. I feel old but it was definitely good to have lived this long.
Been a huge Monkey Island fan since childhood. This game always gave me similar vibes, and I really enjoyed my short time with it. Unfortunately my friends aren't interested. But this is so hype that I might need to learn to play solo.
I am a new player ( 1 month and counting) thank you so much for this tall tale. It was a beautiful trip down memory lane and i loved every sevond of it! Your whole game is incredible! Keep it up. ❤
Sea of thrives has grown a lot since 2018, from humble beginnings to collaborations with some of the biggest film and video game brands like Disney, halo, Oreo, and now Lucas films.
Stan's jacket has worked like that since the first Monkey Island game. At first it was done to save time on the sprites, but the magic jacket ended up becoming a part of his design
BRO I LOVED MONKEY ISLAND THIS GAME SHOWCASE WAS GOING TO HOLD THE FATE OF SEA OF THIEVES AND IT SEEMS YOU HIT US AGAIN WITH ANOTHER GOOD UPDATE!!!!!!!!
After Pirates of the Caribbean and Monkey Island, just add a crossover with Treasure Island and the pirate experience will be perfect. Don't forget to cast Toby Stephens as Flint, tho
My childhood, the music, the game everything is just…..heaven, brings me back in the best part of the life…. childhood where everywhere is sun and smiles !
Nice. I have never played the original monkey island, but i have watched a trailer and this seems to respect it highly. Can't wait to dive onto the island for the first time and explore its secrets.
I definitely recommend buying some of the first monkey island games (at least). Especially now with the steam summer sale you can pick them up for very cheap and they're great, plus I guarantee you'll enjoy this update more having played some of the games too!
@@giggsi1006 Nevertheless, the games are great and on their own they are a great experience, if you won't play them to understand the crossover, you should still play them for how good they are. You can pick the first ones up for really cheap at the end of the month with the steam summer sale
@@Levantarrr anniversary fotd added hungering deep cursed sails even helping make donkey Kong and before you bring up hit reg that doesn’t mean they’ve never done anything good
I took a 6 month break from this game. As a huge Monkey Island fan since childhood, this seems like the best reason to come back. I wonder if Ron Gilbert will be returning to write this new story?
Nope. Ron Gilbert has stated on his Mastodon that this was done behind his back. He got a heads up about it shortly before it was announced, but otherwise he had never heard of it.
Holyyyy what a great event.. in pirate life voyage in first section if u went to secret place of island the monkey island soundtrack well play, thats moment was incredible
Unbelievable. When they shoved the Monkey Island easter egg into the Disney tall tales, I knew this was coming, but I didn't think it would be coming this soon!
I played Monkey Island 2 for hundreds of hours when it came out in 1991. I was 9 years old and played it on my 33mhz computer. I can't tell you how excited I am.
Monkey Island. The series that introduced me to adventure games and games in general. For me there is nothing better than this collaboration. When A Pirate's life came to us 2 years ago, I almost shed a tear as a rush of nostalgia hit me, while secretly hoping for more monkey island content. Now we get this. Rare has show once again what a company that loves its game is capable of. I tip my hat once again and thank you from the bottom of my heart. P.S I am a graduate in 3d modelling and animation. Please hire me XD
I made a comment about that too. Such a nice touch. I thought it was funny to keep the "lazy" animation in Return to Monkey Island last year even though it would have been easy to do it right, but it's so cool they kept it for this too. Honestly with 3D rendering it was probably harder to make it this way than if it was just regular. So in 2023 they put in extra work to make his jacket look the weird way it did in 1990 because it was easier that way
@@cptlatham6126 They managed to do this in 3D for every previous 3D entry as well. Stan's jacket behaves the same way it does in 1-3 as it does in Escape, Tales and Return.
My question, will this add content into the normal sea of thieves as well, like with 'A Pirate's Life' we got phantoms, sirens, trident, and sea crawlers. What could we expect to see come to our normal gameplay experience?
I hope this adds some mechanics that will make it into the main game and not just be a separate tall tale serever that everyone will do enough to get the cosmetics then never touch again
@@sonogrande7628 I know, but they have tended to keep these updates very secretive. Not even updating insiders, like with a pirates life. If they added forward facing cannons to only one galleon in only one tall tale it would be a bit weird. I’m sure more info will come out before the launch date
Now, I have lived on this universe for 30 solar years, and as a human, I saw wonders and horrors beyond imagining. But this just might be one of, if not THE greatest experiences that I've ever had the pleasure to live through. Never once in my wildest dreams could I possibly see such a thing to actually happen, and yet here you madlads are, carrying on the torch of one of the greatest legacies ever known to Videogame History. Mad respect and heartfelt thanks to each and one of you mateys. You DEFINITELY don't fight like a cow. I'm shaking.
I am only 15 but i remember my dad buying Monkey Island 1 for me and my brother. Since then The Monkey island series are one of my favorite Games + Sea of thieves also being one of my favourite games. After Playing Monkey Island 1,2,3 and the newest one for multiple times, i am really looking forward to this Crossover. Thanks Rare for letting this happen!!!
Personally I appreciate the QoL changes over the content drops because QoL is something that permeates your entire session experience and makes it better whereas new content is something that you chase temporarily until you've done it all and then it's back to the same ol' SOT. New content to me is the cherry on top of an overall experience that comes when it's ready rather than on a set schedule.
@@Koubles fair, but 5 months of it? Plus four month seasons now, captaincy delays, paused adventures, delayed s9 content. SoT for the last year has been very poor, comparing it to years prior.
Its sad to see that the whole playerbase is getting held up by new players joining for big updates and the sweats are bullying new plaers untill they left the game completely So basically the playerbase is destroying itself
If Sea of Thieves' PvP wasn't as broken as it is, this might actually be fun to play. PvP just isn't fun when it's all about game manipulation and not actual skill.
I'm always looking for a reason to return to Sea of Thieves, one of those games I didn't expect to love so much. Always have space on my Hard Drive for it :)
Funnily enough, when the Pirate of the Caribbean collab was initially showcased, Me and my friends were actually saying how a Proper Monkey Island collab would be PERFECT for SoT, since the art-style along with the humor would blend right in. Well, that was more than 2 years ago, and now would you look at that haha. Guess we weren't the only one secretly asking for that to happen.
I've been playing a sea of thieves since 2021, I love the game with all my heart, but I also see what a terrible situation it is now from the number of bugs and cheaters, lack of optimization and cluttered store with recolors. Dear Rare, you can see the statistics of players yourself, more than 50% of players have already left the game compared to a year ago. We'll wait if necessary, but please add anti-cheat to the game, hire a responsible for optimizing the game and a couple of good skin designers. On behalf of the entire community of the game - we beg you, do not let the game die. We don't need a monkey island as much as the main important options described above. Thank you for giving my comment a minute.
As hype as a pirates life. Hearing the monkey island theme again gives me such good vibes, I was reminded of it during the "a pirates life" tall tale, the first one, there is a special commendation where you read journals from guybrush's ship, and all the while in that area it plays the theme, so calming
I really hope the monkey island theme becomes a shanty. This looks so good.
You know it will be
Man I loved getting all of the commendations for the pirates life shanty, can’t wait to do it again for monkey island
pls make it a thing; the slow version from pirate's life, omg pls

Mad respect and heartfelt thanks to each and one of you mateys. You DEFINITELY don't fight like a cow. I'm shaking.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one
Actually started the original Monkey Island only because of this trailer. Enjoying it so far😊
Well done rare!!! So excited to play!
I am only 15 but i remember my dad buying Monkey Island 1 for me and my brother. Since then The Monkey island series are one of my favorite Games + Sea of thieves also being one of my favourite games. After Playing Monkey Island 1,2,3 and the newest one for multiple times, i am really looking forward to this Crossover. Thanks Rare for letting this happen!!!
First game I ever got was Monkey Island: Special Edition
You know something big is coming when rare is pushing out qol updates for the past year
yep and i love them for it! They do not burn themselves out needlesly
No excuse tho
Personally I appreciate the QoL changes over the content drops because QoL is something that permeates your entire session experience and makes it better whereas new content is something that you chase temporarily until you've done it all and then it's back to the same ol' SOT.
New content to me is the cherry on top of an overall experience that comes when it's ready rather than on a set schedule.
@@Koubles fair, but 5 months of it? Plus four month seasons now, captaincy delays, paused adventures, delayed s9 content. SoT for the last year has been very poor, comparing it to years prior.
Its sad to see that the whole playerbase is getting held up by new players joining for big updates and the sweats are bullying new plaers untill they left the game completely
So basically the playerbase is destroying itself
If Sea of Thieves' PvP wasn't as broken as it is, this might actually be fun to play.
PvP just isn't fun when it's all about game manipulation and not actual skill.
I knew season 10 was gonna be huge!
it's not season 10. It will be released 2 weeks after Monkey Island Crossover.
This is the second best content update I‘ve ever seen.
YES! Glad they are doing this instead of another Pirates of the Caribbean. Happy to be hyped again! 🏴☠🦛
Can't wait for the video man
@@magicpyroninja Can't promise anything mate, I'm just not feeling like my usual self. But we will try to get another podcast out. 🏴☠
There is a whole (or maybe two) generations whose will not get how epic and awesome means this announce.
Anti-cheat, please!
First Pirates of the Caribbean now Monkey Island....I love it!!! 😊
I'm always looking for a reason to return to Sea of Thieves, one of those games I didn't expect to love so much. Always have space on my Hard Drive for it :)
yep
I recommend using a SSD for Sea of Thieves, a regular SATA SsD is actually fast enough to reduce the loading times significantly
Funnily enough, when the Pirate of the Caribbean collab was initially showcased, Me and my friends were actually saying how a Proper Monkey Island collab would be PERFECT for SoT, since the art-style along with the humor would blend right in.
Well, that was more than 2 years ago, and now would you look at that haha. Guess we weren't the only one secretly asking for that to happen.
I've been playing a sea of thieves since 2021, I love the game with all my heart, but I also see what a terrible situation it is now from the number of bugs and cheaters, lack of optimization and cluttered store with recolors. Dear Rare, you can see the statistics of players yourself, more than 50% of players have already left the game compared to a year ago. We'll wait if necessary, but please add anti-cheat to the game, hire a responsible for optimizing the game and a couple of good skin designers. On behalf of the entire community of the game - we beg you, do not let the game die. We don't need a monkey island as much as the main important options described above. Thank you for giving my comment a minute.
As hype as a pirates life. Hearing the monkey island theme again gives me such good vibes, I was reminded of it during the "a pirates life" tall tale, the first one, there is a special commendation where you read journals from guybrush's ship, and all the while in that area it plays the theme, so calming
