I’m a fan ofMonkey Island, as many of you know, and so hearing the opening bars of the Monkey Island theme during theXbox Games Showcasetonight was an instant little serotonin booster. Turns outSea Of Thievesis finally doing the most obvious pirate crossover ever with a free three-part Tall Tale expansion called The Legend Of Monkey Island. Featuring many of your favourite Monkey Island characters (including Murray the demonic talking skull), the first part of The Legend Of Monkey Island will arrive on July 20th - and will be on Game Pass on day one.

The three chunks of the expansion are coming in monthly instalments, and swashbucklers will get to meet Guybrush, Elaine, and LeChuck - as well as others - as they explore Monkey Island and Mêlée Island in the Sea Of The Damned (i.e. away from other pesky players). The new story is set just after Guybrush and Elaine’s marriage at the end of the third Monkey Island game, although from the trailer it seems like something has gone awry. Which, you know, may be bad for Guybrush, but good for you as a player, or there’d be no adventure.
You can visit Monkey Island in Sea Of Thieves starting July 20th, but until then you can also read this interview with Creative Director Mike Chapmanon Xbox Wireto learn more.
