It didn't, this is just a spinoff series it seems.

Actually watching the trailers it seems to have some of the original humour and magic of I & II in there & Ron Gilbert had a small hand in the creation,

I think he's commenting on the fact that there have only been 4 Monkey Island games previous to this one.

Yeh I'm agreeing with him while also pointing out this looks like a spinoff series, so not even sure if it is supposed to be V much less VI.

From the FAQ et all it sounds this is supposed to be a "proper" continuation, just done in episodic form. Not a very big fan of the 3d approach but hey, underneath it still seems to be Monkey Island.

Lucasarts wanted to make a fifth one, IIRC. But ditched it for more fucking Star Wars games.

They did fine by me with Sam and Max, so I trust they don't screw up Monkey Island.

So, yay!
