LeChuck revealed and a handful of other updates:
We made the bold move to take a few weeks off, yet that didn't stop Return to Monkey Island news from coming in. Imagine that! So, to keep it short: At the top of the site, you'll see the latest #MonkeyIslandMonday videos, including Jess Harnell's excellent interpretation of LeChuck. Furthermore, the Confirmed Characters list has been updated with a handful of quasi-speculated-on actors. The question now is: How long until we learn the release date? (Aug 08, 2022)

Return to Monkey Island trailer, screenshots, and I don't even know what:
The easiest way to access it all is probably the official site, which contains all the media, as well as a small interactive game. There's a lot to take in, but to summarize it all: it looks amazing. We will update this site soon. (Jun 28, 2022)

Marius Remains a Gentleman and a Scholar; Another Chance for a Trailer Tomorrow:
First, check out MajusArts’ Monkey Island 2 Flash Film for what might be the ultimate retelling of LeChuck’s Revenge. Then, set yourself up for disappointment for when the Return to Monkey Island trailer won’t make its debut at Nintendo Direct Mini tomorrow. But maaaaybe it will? Either way, fingers crossed for tomorrow, June 28th, 6 am PDT. (Or check your timezone.) (Jun 27, 2022)

A Few Site Fixes:
Fun -- fun-ish -- fact: The SCUMM Bar codebase turns twenty years old this September. Not shockingly, some things have started to break, and we are using gum to patch them back together. For now, the screenshots have been fixed, as have a few other image-based sections. And we are overhauling the backend and front-end to something slightly more modern. Hopefully, that will go live before 2032. (But no guarantees.) (Jun 21, 2022)

Noah Falstein Drops Major Return to Monkey Island Impressions:
No, not about the plot, but about the storytelling itself. To wit: I think it is some of Ron's best work I've ever seen [..] What I experienced in the first ten minutes of the game, and I can't talk about it, but Ron and Dave did something I thought was impossible in terms of storytelling, and they pull it off admirably. [..] It's a beautiful work of art. [..] I fully can expect Return to Monkey Island to be the subject of Masters and Ph.D. thesis. For more, head to Mojo or watch the ReMI parts over on Twitch.

A Big load of Nothing:
As you probably already know, the trailer did not debut during Devolver’s extravaganza. Bummer! We expect something to happen soon, mind you. (Jun 13, 2022)

Devolver Digital Summer Game Fest Reminder:
In all likelihood we will see a proper Return to Monkey Island trailer today when Devolver launches into one of their (bizarre) showcases. The event takes place 3 pm PDT -- check your own time zone -- as part of Summer Game Fest. (Jun 09, 2022)

DREAMM, the ultimate SCUMM emulator, is now in beta:
Caveat: You will need Windows to run it (and the game executables), but DREAMM is as close as you’ll get to the original experience of playing the SCUMM games of yore. Read more at Mojo or go straight to author Aaron Giles’s DREAMM site to download the software. (Jun 08, 2022)
