Disney has pulled the plug on the original Club Penguin this week, but fans of the franchise need not worry. A brand new mobile version of Club Penguin has been announced called Club Penguin Island.
Club Penguin Island is a 3D update of the classic Flash-based game, and boasts many new features. It’s currently available for iOS and Android devices.
The original Club Penguin was an insanely popular massively multiplayer online game that launched in 2005. Disney purchased Club Penguin in 2007 for over $350 million. This led to a boost invisibility and a lot of Club Penguin merchandise in the Disney theme parks. In January 2017, it was announced that the original iteration of was coming to an end.
So far, reaction has been mixed from longtime fans of the franchise.

It’s too bad that Disney continues to implement a “pirate-y” theme into every (trending) game-platform they deem as important considering back in 2012 & 2013, Disney chose to ignore some 3,000+ signatures acquired to petition Disney alone to keep such a game open because of said interest. RIP “Pirates of the Caribbean Online,” shuttered by Disney on September 19, 2013.
~ CP fans, sorry for your loss but Disney wants you to enjoy OUR island-quest adventures!
Pirates Online looked pretty awesome. I never had a chance to play it, however! I’m still miffed about them pulling the plug on Disney Infinity after sinking hundreds and hundreds of dollars into figures, updates and game discs. 🙁
