‎Return to Monkey Island

‎Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. It’s been many years since Guybrush…

@grumpygamer glad to see it getting traction on all the major platforms. 3.6 GB seems massive for an iOS app but I guess the graphics take up a lot of space.

Out of interest, are there plans to release it on Apple Arcade or is that a poor return from Apple or does that stop you selling it outside the Arcade games?

@sdjmchattie Apple Arcade is "invite only" so we can't make that decision.

@grumpygamer ahh well that’s a shame. I had wondered how the selection was made. I wouldn’t be surprised to find them coming to you at some point. This is big news for iOS! Though maybe games have to work on macOS as well to be selected now I think about it.

@sdjmchattie It does and had since day-1, it's even on the Mac App store. Apple want games on Apple Arcade that churn use and can be played forever. Games you finish in 16 hours don't fit the platform.

@grumpygamer I see you changed your mind 😄 I’m going to play the game through again on my iPad!
