Get ready to flip those eye-patches and head into battle with up to 12 players (locally or online) in this retro-styled arcade beat-em-up that pits pixelated pirates vs. pirates in quick, round-based matches. With enough weapons, items, modes, and “modify-arrs” to fill the biggest deep-sea treasure chest, Plunder Panic is the perfect game to cement friendships and foster rivalries!

Featuring both local and online play, work with your crew to plunder booty, defeat the enemy captain, or scuttle their ship. The first team to capture an objective wins, so be on the lookout for other sneaky pirates!

Raise the Jolly Roger and dive into this blend of classic and modern games, where retro graphics and simple controls meet fast-paced, frantic arcade action. With multiple play modes, unique power-ups and game changing modify-arrs, there are hundreds of gameplay combinations guaranteed to shiver ye timbers! Plunder Panic features flexible team configurations, including local, online, and AI-controlled players. Time to assemble your crew, get all hands on deck and send your scurvy competition to Davey Jones’ Locker!

Currently available through Steam Early Access ($9.99), Plunder Panic is headed to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on September 16, 2022! 

Through its Early Access journey to launch, Will Winn Games worked with the enthusiastic Plunder Panic player community to expand and refine the game, including adding a variety of updates, improvements, and new content including the ‘Reinforcements’ and ‘Conquest’ game modes, unique islands to plunder, and a redesigned party system. In addition, the music and SFX have been remastered, along with barnacles full of bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements to ensure that the pirate's life is fun for all! 

To celebrate the launch date, a Plunder Panic tournament begins tonight between 8pm and 10pm PST during PAX West, in the PC Room on Level 3 of the Annex, and will be freely available to play at the show on all PAX PC Freeplay stations. 

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

Plunder Panic is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on September 16, 2022.
