Shiver me timbers, there be plundering ahead! Will Winn Games’ pirate-theme online multiplayer brawler Plunder Panic is available now on Windows PC/Mac, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck with full cross-platform play.

Hoist the sails, ready your cannons, and head into battle with up to 12 players (locally or online) in this retro-style arcade beat-em-up that pits pixelated pirates in quick, round-based matches. Two teams of up to six pirates must go all hands on deck and face off against each other, utilizing a variety of weapons, enchanted items, and power-ups. Only one team can claim victory! Will it be ye, ya scallywag?

Plunder Panic takes inspiration from couch co-op games of old, and blends it with frantic, piracy-filled matches on the high seas. Rival teams will anchor their ships on opposite sides of the same island, and let the c-arrr-nage begin! Only one crew can remain victorious by plundering enough gold into their treasure chest, scuttling the other crew’s ship, or defeating the rival crew’s captain!

Key features of Plunder Panic include:

• Pirate Brawlin’ — Fast-paced action–arcade gameplay with elements of platforming, combat, and strategic play. Teams can coordinate to either collect enough gold, sink an enemy ship with cannons or an explosive rowboat, or defeat the enemy captain.
• Multiplayer Madness — Form a crew of up to 6 pirates to compete against your frenemies. Players can play local couch co-op, invite online friends to private lobbies and also go into matchmaking!
• Become a Pirate Legend — Multiple win conditions offer pirate crews different gameplay strategies. And Plunder Panic features several exciting game modes, including A Pirate’s Life, Conquest, and Reinforcements to build your pirate’s infamy.
• Modify-arrs — Matches can be customized with modifiers 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 play-enhancing items such as pirate punch and enchanted idols; even squids can be used as weapons to ink pirates (the Kraken doesn’t take kindly to this, though).
• A Visual Treasure — Pirates compete across a sea of treasure-laden, visually spectacular islands. A charming pixel-art aesthetic makes the game fun and approachable for players of all ages.
• Addictive Beats — The exhilarating retro soundtrack evokes the days of yore, where the pop hits were all sea shanties!
