Now *this* is some good news.

After the deserved critical and commercial success that greeted Lucasarts original remake last Summer, it was surely only a matter of time until Lucasarts confirmed similar plans for the sequel.

Well, praise be to the three-headed monkey as a story ran by IGN today, tells us that Lucasarts have now confirmed that Monkey Island 2: Le-Chuck’s Revenge Special Edition, will release on XBLA, PSN, PC and iPhone/iTouch platforms this Summer.

Much like the remake of its prequel, Monkey Island 2 Special Edition will boast entirely redrawn graphics and art, a new musical score, access to the classic visuals, a hint system and of course, full voice acting throughout.

Additionally, the title will also include a developer commentary which should provide some interesting insight.

No price point was announced when the title releases in the summer, but I would expect it to retail for between 800 and 1200 MSP for 360 folks and roughly £7.99-£9.99 for everybody else.
