The Monkey Island series is going to be revived over the next few months.
Telltale will release an episodic series of 5 games over the next few months starting from July. The original voice cast from MI:3 will be back and so will the original composer. Ron Gilbert was involved in the creative process and most of the people working on it are former LucasArts employés.
A special edition of Monkey Island one will be available for download on PC and XBOX live this summer as well. It will include the original game as well as an updated HD version with new graphics and voice acting by the cast from MI:3
LucasArts and Telltale also made a deal and this could be the start of something beautiful. There are also rumors of MI2 returning in special edition form.
(And since LucasArts is showing a seeming interest in adventure games, this could also renew the hope for a new Grim Fandango.)
