Monkey Island, as it was called by its inhabitants in the 18th century, is an island in the Philippines, situated northwest of Cebu.
History
In the early 18th century, the natives of Monkey Island frequently engaged in trade with their neighbors from the surrounding islands. However, this changed in 1725, when the island became the subject of several unsettling tales after a number of Spanish ships went missing near its shores. Some of these legends included a strange noise that drew sailors to the island, and vampires who fed on any man and animal that set foot on its shores.[1]
Behind the scenes
Although never identified by any name other than Monkey Island in Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple, there is a real-life island situated near the Philippines called Angaur, which is also known by this nickname. However, the island only gained this nickname in the 20th century, making it unlikely that it would be called that in 1725.[2] Judging by its shape and positioning on the map, the Monkey Island featured in Forgotten Temple appears to correspond to the real-life Sibuyan Island instead.
