Monkey Island remake next week

10 classic Lucas games on Steam tomorrow.

LucasArts has announced that The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be released on Xbox Live Arcade and PC next Wednesday, 15th July.

What's more, that announcement mooted yesterday is that 10 of the publisher's games will be released on Steam tomorrow, 8th July.

Those 10 are Armed and Dangerous, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Loom, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Republic Commando, Star Wars Starfighter, The Dig and Thrillville: Off the Rails.

More classic Steam releases will follow, and as you've probably guessed, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be distributed by Steam next week - although it will also be made available through other distributors as well.

In the meantime, of course, today should mark the release of Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal from Telltale Games. Check out our recent interview with Dave Grossman for more on that, and look out for a review soon.
