Ron Gilbert, one of the original creators of the piratical point-and-click Monkey Island series, had no idea its newly-revealed Sea of Thieves crossover was happening.
Last night, Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island – as this crossover is officially known – was announced to much surprise and delight from several members of the Eurogamer team (myself included).
The news also came as a surprise to Gilbert, however, who revealed “he wasn’t even told about it” before the announcement was made.
