Sea of Thieves Monkey Island trailer & content
Click to enlargeThere seems to be quite a lot of content from the Monkey Island series making its way to Sea of Thieves throughout this crossover. With the release of the first Tall Tale in July, players will be able to explore Melee Island, and likely visit locations like the Scumm Bar, Stan's Secondhand Shipyard, and the Governor's Mansion.
There they will find that Guybrush Threepwood is somehow now the governor and that the island's inhabitants look up to him as the mighty pirate he has always claimed to be. Something clearly isn't right with this, so players will need to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Further Tall Tales will likely take players further afield, and bring in other characters like Elaine Marley and the demon pirate LeChuck. Nothing is confirmed just yet, but it seems more than likely that players will also get to visit the eponymous Monkey Island at some point in the adventure.
In the Guided Tour of Monkey Island trailer, we got a look at all of the locations on the island we can visit in the game. From the Scumm Bar, to the Governor's Mansion, all the way to Stan's Previously Owned Vessels, Melee Island will be ours to explore.
