"Telltale Games and LucasArts have confirmed the release of an episodic addition to the Monkey Island saga. Tales Of Monkey Island, slated for release on PC and Nintendo Wii, is expected to follow the same format as Telltale&amp;#039;s recent Sam And Max games. The new adventure takes place across five monthly episodes, following the exploits of pirate Guybrush Threepwood. While battling his nemesis Le Chuck, the protagonist unwittingly unleashes a virus known as voodoo pox, which transforms its victims into monsters. &amp;quot;The Monkey Island series set the standard for storytelling and character development in games,&amp;quot; said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. &amp;quot;The next several months should be filled with all kinds of surprises as we continue the dramatic stories of Guybrush, Elaine and LeChuck. We are happy to be working with LucasArts to make this happen.&amp;quot;  LucasArts previously announced that Monkey Island Special Edition, a direct remake of the original with revamped graphics and sound, will be released on Xbox Live Arcade and PC later this summer. The first episode of Tales Of Monkey Island premiers on July 7. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
