Tales of Monkey Island gets box release

By Fred Dutton Published 3 February, 2011

Collector's Edition detailed.

Telltale Game's formerly download-only Tales of Monkey Island series is to get a full PC retail release in Europe, publisher Lace Mamba Global has announced.

It's taken awhile – this was first discussed in March last year – but you'll be able to pick up all five parts of the episodic series in stores from 8th April.

There will be two versions available. The Premium Edition, which will set you back around £29.99, includes the game and some additional bonus digital content: a production art gallery, desktop wallpapers and forum avatars.

The Collector's Edition offers richer booty however. For £49.99 you'll get the following swag:

  • A map of the Gulf of Melange
  • A Voodoo Card
  • A Drink Coaster from Club 41
  • A Pirate piece of Eight coin
  • The Trial of the Century badge

The episodic series launched on PC and WiiWare back in 2009, before heading to PlayStation Network late last year. Jolly good fun it is too – Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead awarded the first episode 8/10.

    At that rate it's a lot cheaper to just get the deluxe edition from Telltale themselves, which does 49,99 in dollars instead of pounds.

    Then again: (pre-)ordering from Telltale is always a better deal as the dollar vs. pound rates are still very good and you get to play the episodes when they release and you automatically get the boxed edition for the added price of shipping at the end of a season. Beats retail and beats Steam as far as I'm concerned.

    Thank god this is exactly the same as the Collector's Edition I got directly from Telltale 6 months ago.

    I was worried there for a moment.

    Will it ever come to XBLA?

    An ultimate edition would have been a perfect opportunity to pack in the previous games. It's a mistake not to.

    £20 for a map and a coaster.

    I mean..... Jesus.

  • levitate #6 1 year ago

    Is there no "normal" version with, y'know, just the game and a manual?

  • OlMaster #7 1 year ago

    I got the season pack for £3.50 when it was on sale on steam a while back. Might not have those extra goodies, but I'm not exactly regretting my purchase at that price...
