NEW STUFF!

Club Penguin Trading Card Game!

Hello Penguins!

We love how you are having so much fun with the 3rd Anniversary celebrations! Thanks for all the amazing feedback.

Lots of new Club Penguin toys have finally arrived! But there’s more to come. I can’t say too much yet, but it’s something many of you have suggested in the past that the team’s been working on. Club Penguin Trading cards will be available soon! 

You’ll be able to buy the cards in mid-November and the coolest part is that in addition to playing the game with your friends at home, the cards will connect to a brand new multiplayer game coming soon to Club Penguin. With them, you’ll be able enter a code into Club Penguin and get on a ‘fast path’ to master the new game. I’ll have more info on the new game coming to Club Penguin soon, but for now here’s a sneak peek of the Trading Cards you’ll be able to play at home!

Club Penguin Trading Cards will be available mid November at Toys”R”Us – just in time to connect with the newest Club Penguin game. Let us know what you think – and tell us any ideas you have for the cards!!

Until then…Waddle on!

Welcome Brazil!

Hello Penguins!

I have an exciting update today and I wanted you to be the first to know. In the last few years, many of you have requested to be able to play Club Penguin in different languages. We’ve been working on it and today we launched the first of many new languages: Portuguese!  More languages will be coming out throughout the year and we’ll let you know as soon as they’re ready.

When you login to play, you’ll notice you can select a language on the top navigation. Right now you can choose English or Portuguese. If you want to play in Portuguese, select that language, and when you enter Club Penguin EVERYTHING will be in Portuguese. Cool!

To celebrate, here are a few Portuguese phrases –

Welcome = Bem-vindo
Congratulations! = Parabens!
You’re cool! = Voce e muito legal!

Until then…waddle on!
PINGUINANDO!
