The development team for Monkey Island 2 was largely the same as for The Secret of Monkey Island. The project was led by Ron Gilbert, who was again joined by Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. The game was a critical success, but a commercial disappointment. Monkey Island 2 was followed by The Curse of Monkey Island in 1997; the third game in the series had to deal with the predecessor's ambiguous ending and vaguely explain it. A "Special Edition" remake of Monkey Island 2 was released in 2010, following a similar remake of the first game. In 2022, a sixth game Return to Monkey Island was released, whose plot begins right after the cliffhanger of Monkey Island 2,[2][3] but is not a sequel to the latter, and the games following Monkey Island 2 all remain canonical.[4][5]
