For those already playing Plunder Panic on Steam Early Access, the latest game update adds a frigid new map with exciting secrets to discover as well as a shareable player stats system!

The new portrait system features a bountiful booty of pirate stats that change based on your personal plundering career, taking the form of a stylized ‘Wanted’ poster. Pirates all across the world will shiver when they take a gander at your notorious mug.

The addition of this highly shareable poster also comes with a new pirate ledger, which contains advanced stats across various plundering categories, including Career, Captain, Crew, Items, Awards, and more! These added stats are a great way to share your well-deserved pirate cred with your friends and strangers on the internet. 

But that’s not all! The frost wizards at Will Winn Games have braved the frightfully frigid waters to deliver an exciting new battlefield. Their latest map, “The Lost Glacier”, is a bone chilling, yet bountiful level that features unique sea life, dangerously icy platforms, tons of booty to plunder and…a snowball-throwing Yeti? The pirate's life is certainly never dull!

Key Features:

• Pirate Brawlin’ — Fast-paced action-arcade gameplay with elements of platforming, combat, and strategic play
• Play With Friends and Foes — Supporting local and online play with up to 12-players (including AI). Players can invite friends to their couch or connect online through private lobbies. Online matchmaking with friends and foes will be added in a post-launch update.
• Become the Pirate King — Multiple win conditions offer pirate crews different gameplay strategies. Teams can coordinate to either collect enough gold, sink an enemy ship with cannons or a rowboat of TNT, or defeat the enemy captain.
• Modify-arrs — Matches can be customized with up to six modifiers at once which change up the game rules dramatically. Randomized Captains per round? No captains at all? What about all pirates having a pair of never-ending Seagull Wings? Anything and everything can happen!
• Swords, Explosives, and… Squids? — Chaotic items that can be wielded by players can drop into a match at any time. From weapons such as the Blunderbuss, molotov cocktails, and dynamite to stat-boosting rum barrels and enchanted idols; even squid can be used as weapons (the Kraken doesn’t take kindly to this, though).
• Multiplayer Mode Madness — Plunder Panic will feature several exciting game modes coming in a post-launch update, including Free Play, Tournament, Conquest, Ranked and Unranked, and Captain vs. Captain 1v1
• A Visual Treasure — A charming retro pixel-art aesthetic with adorable lil’ pirates and beautiful themed arenas
