LucasArts has promised an "amazing" announcement of the "old school" variety, due to go down today.
Speaking via Twitter, the new official source for teasing game announcements, the company said: "Amazing news coming Monday! Super excited! You have no idea how tough it is not to start yelling about it! But it's secret! Until Monday!"
It later added, "It is awesome news for our old school fans," and apparently someone's already guessed "dead on" what it is.

As always we'll set our expectations high (Grim Fandango 2 please) and probably be disappointed when LucasArts announces Star Wars: Obi-Wan 2 later this afternoon. Keep 'em peeled.
Probably an HD version of the original Grim Fandango on XBL. Still, it is a reason to be excited, if that is the case, as it was a brilliant adventure game. I actually prefered it to the Monkey Island games.
I'm not sure that developers have the creative wit to make a sequel to those classics anymore.
With any luck they will announce a bunch of old point n click adventures games coming to xbla, WiiWare, PSN etc with the full update treatment. Be great to play Dott, Sam & max, full throttle etc. Also announce some new sequels for them and I'll be bouncing off the walls
actually ... 'someone guessed "dead on" what it was'. Is that a nod to Grim Fandango?
Didn't pick up on that. Good observation. Hope you're right!
Yea I spotted that (and think CVG did too) and hence the GF suggestion. GF2 would be incredible if it was LucasArts internally but like I said I think that is wishful thinking.
I will be content with any (or all) of the following:
Day of the Tentacle Grim Fandango Monkey Island More Indy point-and-click (a la Fate of Atlantis) Full Throttle X-wing Tie Fighter X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter
Sequels, reissues, reduxes, uber-boxsets, whatever: it'll make my day.
