Plunder Panic out on Switch this month, new trailer

Will Winn Games today announced a final release date for Plunder Panic, its 6v6 pirate-themed multiplayer arcade game. On Switch, it’ll be ready to go on September 16, 2022.

Plunder Panic features a mix of “retro graphics, arcadey action, and a boatload of online (and offline) gameplay modes and options to shiver even the most hardened pirates’ timbers.” Cross-play is supported across Switch, Windows PC/Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Steam Deck.

Here’s some additional information:

Inspired by classic SNES games, Plunder Panic blends retro graphics, arcadey action, and a boatload of online (and offline) gameplay modes and options to shiver even the most hardened pirates’ timbers. Two teams of up to six players must go all hands on deck and face off against each other, utilizing a variety of weapons, enchanted items, and power-ups. In addition to matchmaking online, players can play together locally with as many controllers supported on their respective platforms. Cross-play also enables online matchmaking across all versions of the game.

In Plunder Panic, quick, round-based matches begin as rival teams anchor their ships on the same island. Only the scurviest dogs will prevail once the action starts. Victory becomes within reach if the rival team loses either too much of their gold, their ship gets scuttled, or if their precious captain takes a trip to Davy Jones’ locker. It’s up to teams to decide on an offensive or defensive approach!

A trailer celebrating the release date news for Plunder Panic can be found below.

Those attending PAX West 2022 today can play the game at the PC Freeplay stations. A tournament will also be held tonight between 8 PM and 10 PM in the PC Room on Level 3 of the Annex.
