 Tom Sarris made an interview with Computer and Video Games (

 You've also got the Grim Fandango and Monkey Island adventure franchises. Will you be looking to resurrect those?  
 Sarris: I'd say so. I'd say that they're extremely viable properties for us to tap into in the future, in the same way that we're doing with Sam & Max. There's no reason why we can't adapt those to another generation of games players. I think there are stories that still remain to be told within Monkey Island and Grim Fandango.  
 Kind of cheers you up, huh? :)
