For Guybrush must take to the high seas to find allies (and additional enemies), as well as discover the mysterious and unknown. The adventure, however, quickly claims him.

The game continues the story begun in The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, skipping the plot of the series' installments released from 1997 to 2010. The founder of the latter, Ron Gilbert, is the father of the series, for whom this production marks a return to the brand after more than thirty years.

Return to Monkey Island is the sixth full-fledged installment of the Monkey Island series, whose roots date back to 1990.
