Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 4 in April 2019, it was launched on November 12, 2020, in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and South Korea, with worldwide release following a week later.

A sequel to 1990's ''The Secret of Monkey Island'', it is the second game in the ''Monkey Island'' series. It was the sixth LucasArts game to use the SCUMM engine, and the first game to use the iMUSE sound system. In it, pirate Guybrush Threepwood searches for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop and again faces off against the pirate LeChuck, who is now a zombie. The development team for ''Monkey Island 2'' was largely the same as for ''The Secret of Monkey Island''. The project was led by Ron Gilbert, who was again joined by Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman (game developer), Dave Grossman. The game was a critical success, but a commercial disappointment. ''Monkey Island 2'' was followed by ''The Curse of Monkey Island'' in 1997; the third game in the series had to deal with the predecessor's ambiguous ending and to vaguely explain it. In 2022, a sixth game ''Return to Monkey Isl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
