The Grauniad caught up with Monkey Island Special Edition producer, Craig Derrick who teased that the up-until-now-Xbox-Live-and-PC-only title could be heading to PlayStation 3 and Wii. Derrick hinted further that the game would be heading to a new, unannounced platform.

Why Xbox Live and not Wiiware or PSN?

Well, we never said we wouldn’t be on Wiiware or PSN now did we? The truth is, though, Xbox Live offers a great user experience and downloadable service to gamers and we think it’s a great platform to launch the game on. And, of course, the game will also be available on PC via digital download, plus we may have another platform announcement to make very, very soon

Our guess would be a handheld. We’re really clever like that.

You’ll be able to watch some LucasArts developers play Monkey Island on Justin.tv tonight at 3.00pm PST (11.00pm BST), Joystiq reports.

There’s no direct link to is over there, unfortunately. If you do find it, though, you’ll be able to ask questions of the devs for about an hour.

Good luck.

Following its megaton event at E3 this afternoon, Microsoft has announced that some new Xbox Live Arcade titles will launch this summer.

Thanks, GI.biz.

Monkey Island: Special Edition has been listed on the USK’s site, according to this GamerBytes story.

The German ratings board’s database appears to be down at the moment, but there’s an image of the listing there.

The game’s down for an Xbox 360 release. We’ve got a mail out to Acti.
