LucasArts confirms 'MI2' special edition

LucasArts has confirmed the development of a special edition of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

Announced during the Game Developers Conference, the revamped sequel will be available for PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and iPhone in the summer.

Unlike last year's Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition, the game will feature a new control mechanism. "In addition to the point-and-click interface, we've added the ability to move Guybrush around, so you feel more connected to him," said LucasArts exec Craig Derrick.

The title will also include new artwork from Peter Chan and Steve Purcell and director's commentary, as well as improved graphics, sound and a full voiceover track. Like its predecessor, the game will allow players to switch between the original graphics and high-definition art.

LucasArts also revealed that The Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition is bound for PSN and Mac OS.
