This fits with the earlier rumour that Monkey Island fans should be expecting good news this month.

LucasArts is rumoured to be working on a special edition version of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

According to Kotaku sources the studio could unveil the game at next week's Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco.

Originally released in 1991, Monkey Island 2 follows Guybrush Threepwood's attempt to locate the mysterious tresure Big Whoop and win back the affections of love interest Elaine Marley.

Last year, LucasArts released an enhanced version of The Secret Of Monkey Island for Xbox 360, PC and iPhone featuring improved graphics and sound. It has been reported that the revamped sequel will also be given a PS3 release.

An official announcement regarding the Monkey Island 2 special edition is expected at the Game Developers Conference, which runs between March 9 and March 13.

Hope this is true, Monkey Island 2 is probably the best in the series, and it's been years since I played it. They did a great job with the first game, hope they can do it again for the sequel!

The art design really put me off the first one. I do enjoy the game and dialogue, but I just wish I could play the classic style with voices.

It is strange that they included the original version, but not the original version with voices. I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who wanted that, so maybe they'll fix it up for the second game?

The first remixed Monkey Island was awesome on the iPhone. I'm really hoping they make a second! (is this post worth a karma point?)

Karma can only be portioned out by the cosmos!

Day one.

Day zero.  

Getting it for the iPhone. The swipe for original graphics and shake for hints features were awesome.

That does look a lot better.

Will get it when I finish the first (if ever).
