New Monkey Island Rumoured, False [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

The British Gaming Blog dispels a rumour floating through the internets this week. The site Rumor Reporter is claiming knowledge of a new Monkey Island game in the works at LucasArts. Coincidentally, Steve Purcell (creator of the series) sends some concept art to the Monkey Island fansite The World of Monkey Island. As McBacon, at the BGB says, this is probably just interesting timing. "As much as we'd all love to believe a new Monkey Island is in the works (even after Escape from MI), and as great as the coincidence is, Steve doesn't even work at Lucas Arts anymore, so the dots just don't join up. Don't hold your breath for E3, but enjoy the concept art."Read more of this story (http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/12/1918218&from=rss) at Slashdot.

Uh...what happened to Ron Gilbert's status as the creator of Monkey Island? Was he ousted in a bloodless coup? :monkey:
