Hello, everyone!
The rollout of the 1.8 update on Club Penguin Island has begun. Android users are currently able to download the update so that they can finally create their own igloo and check out the new ‘Olaf’s Frozen Adventure’ and ‘Big Hero 6’ items! There is also the new Island Live feature (a revamp of the CPI Phone) and some interface adjustments. This is only the tip of the iceberg, however. Starting from the 30th of November, everyone will be able to beta test the new PC and Mac version of Club Penguin Island! This is a huge leap in development and an exciting time for the community. In addition, from December 6th, players will be able to take part in Coins For Change and enjoy the festivities at the Holiday Party! As you can see, this update is huge!
In this post, I am going to be highlighting everything that has been added so far! Please beware for this post contains spoilers of the 1.8 update. If you do not yet have access to the update, you can feel free to read on at your own risk.
To begin with, when you first enter the app, you will see one of the two new home screens for Club Penguin Island – and they pretty much sum up the best parts of the 1.8 update: igloos and the Holiday Party! Below, you can have a look at them for yourself.
As soon as you log on, your penguin will be rewarded with a ‘Holiday 2017’ pack. This contains a range of holiday-themed: fabrics, decals, a blueprint, a clothing item, igloo music and a bonus 500 coins! Moreover, you are given a new unique item: the Tester T-shirt! Everyone can wear this, which is a nice little surprise. To return the favour, make sure you give feedback to the team during the PC/Mac beta test of Club Penguin Island!
Providing you have logged onto Club Penguin Island before the 6th of December, you will get the opportunity to see some of the construction of the community feast (in celebration of Coins For Change). Firstly, you are greeted with an establishing shot of the construction at Island Central and Aunt Arctic (with a hard hat on her head) lets you know that the festivities will be available soon! This was a lovely touch to the update and the party preparation reminds me of Club Penguin…
Now, let’s talk about the exciting stuff…
…IGLOOS!
Igloos & Interiors is now officially open to all players. Just waddle over by the Igloo Trams and you will see the shiny storefront straight away. Igloos & Interiors is another market on Club Penguin Island, but it sells igloos and furniture instead of food! There is a decent range of items available to everyone. However, purchasing a membership will grant you access to a much larger inventory of furniture items – including a large igloo! Fortunately, you don’t have to be that stingy with your coins because the prices are relatively cheap. That means more coins to be donated to charity – yay!
Igloo Trams are now accessible and ready for travel. If it’s been a hard day’s work at Franky’s, you can pop by the trams and instantly be escorted to your own private zone. There are two other ways you can access your igloo too! You can find it on the map or you can explore the “My Penguin” tab.
