Telltale is extremely excited to have their hands back in the Monkey Island series. Since the last chapter released, they took up shop at the Penny-Arcade expo to further promote their title, granting interviews with different developers and Dominic Armato, the voice of Guybrush Threepwood. During the interview, Dominic expressed his love for the series, and thanked the fans for having a huge part in the revival. He also talked about the remaining chapters, and how they were "just starting to get into the heart of it," and that there was some "very interesting things coming up." Sure, this could be typical PR nonsense, but Dominic seemed way to friendly to be touting the company line if he didn't believe what he said. With Chapter 3's release, his words earn validation.

Just as was the case with the last two chapters, Lair of the Leviathan is completely story driven. Whereas Telltale went out of their way in the past to make sure that every episode of their other series can be played in nearly any order, Monkey Island is treated differently. This means the storyline that started in the first chapter continues to develop in the third. Because of this, it's hard to really talk about Tales of Monkey Island without mentioning things that are best discovered through play, so anyone who hasn't beaten Chapter 2 best divert their eyes, and go pick up the first two parts, for LeChuck's sake!
