With The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition as well as Tales of Monkey Island coming, much speculation has gone on as to whether LucasArts will continue to revive their classic adventure game franchises in a similar manner. Well LucasArts wants to do more games just as much as we want them.

“If [Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition] sells,” said LucasArts community manager Brooks Brown, “there’s no one at this company who doesn’t want to do these games.”

“It’s a matter of showing that there’s interest and this market is alive and get people as excited as possible about Monkey Island Special Edition to show that these things can make it,” Brown explained.

Additionally, Telltale Games would be interested in working on more episodic series based on LucasArts licenses after Tales of Monkey Island.

“Feasible is a good word,” said Telltale CEO Dan Connors on a possible Day of the Tentacle episodic series. “I always think of Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island as the big three [LucasArts] franchises…I really love Day of the Tentacle.”

“My ideas always get shot down, but I wanted to see, like a 32-year-old Hoagie, or Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne all grown up with jobs and what not. But we’ll see if that gets any traction.”

There are no guarantees however, as future collaborations between the two companies again depend on the success of their current projects. “It all depends on how it goes,” the CEO continued. “Hopefully it works out for both companies and it just is a no brainer to keep adding the franchises on.”
