From ‘Monkey Island’ Creator Ron Gilbert, Watch A Fantastic New Trailer For ‘The Cave’!

Ron Gilbert and Double Fine are both names to get very excited about. Ron Gilbert of course has quite the resume himself, and his name should be instantly recognized for creating the world of Monkey Island. Double Fine also has an extensive list of titles, but is most revered for 2005’s brilliantly weird platformer, Psychonauts.

All the way back in 2010 it was announced that Gilbert and Double Fine would be working together on a new title, and the gaming world went wild. That title is The Cave, and it’s now barely a month away from release. It also looks to be an absolute masterpiece.

A new trailer has just been released for The Cave, showing off some of the quirky characters you’ll be playing as, as well as the narrator who it turns out… is a talking cave!

The game looks absolutely phenomenal. Watch this trailer, get excited. Repeat as necessary.

Sony just published a great interview with Gilbert, focussing on the trials and tribulations of making The Cave, and of course how he came to find himself at Double Fine. A very interesting tidbit however, was the reveal of Gilbert’s favourite character creation. Guybrush Threepwood is the among the most beloved characters of countless gamers worldwide, so it’s nice to know that he’s right at the top of his creator’s list too.

The Cave will release in January for Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Excited?
