In addition to this tarted up classic, LucasArts also announced that the much-loved series is being revived with the brand new Tales of Monkey Island by Telltale Games--developer of the current Sam & Max games--in five monthly episodes, kicking off July 7.

Developed internally at LucasArts, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is scheduled for release on PC and Xbox Live Arcade this Summer.
