Plunder Panic update out now (version 1.1), patch notes
A new 1.1 update is here for Plunder Panic on Switch, and it’s a pretty substantial patch.
We’re hearing that the update includes an entirely new game mode, three new islands, and boatloads of new features like smarter and craftier NPC pirates and throwable axe. Players can work together to accumulate as much booty as possible in Gold Rush, a new game mode that challenges them to work as a crew to pillage your opponent’s treasure chests and walk away with the most riches. A special Cursed Gold item is also available. With the new islands, players can access the ancient Mayan Ruins, vast seas of sands in the land of Desert Sphinx, and the fantastical Crystal Geysers.
Below are the full patch notes for the Plunder Panic version 1.1 update:
New game mode: Gold Rush – The booty be ours! In Gold Rush, work as a crew to gather all the loot you can and deposit it back in your team’s chest. Rowboat explosions and sustained cannon fire knock gold out of yer enemy’s chest. Only the richest of pirates will emerge victorious.
New item: Cursed Gold – Sneak this bag o’cursed doubloons into the enemy’s chest to hinder their plunderin’! Ye be warned, though: if this accursed gold finds a way into yer own chest, prepare to dig through yer hard-earned treasure to get it out! Luckily, it doesn’t seem to curse ye with a cold and unfeeling immortality…but it’s still a pain in the booty!
New item: Throwing Axe – This curious relic from the lands of Transylvania has a blade forged from silver. Lob it high in the air to damage any enemies in its path! D’ye reckon it might be sharp enough to cut a cannon’s burning wick?
New island: Mayan Ruins – Behold, the Mayan Ruins, the remnants of an ancient civilization lost to time. Here the great winged serpent Quetzalcoatl guards the timeworn relics. Many a pirate has sought to gather riches from this age-old treasure trove, but beware all who spark the guardian’s wrath with their greed. Traverse these ruins only if ye dare!
New island: The Crystal Geysers – Nobody quite knows what’s keeping these mysterious crystals afloat, but they sure are a beauty! These shining sky rocks hover above an active geyser zone. The jets of water shooting from the earth have a tendency to send pirates skyward as well. Be sure to ride the waves to victory, me hearties!
New island: Desert Sphinx – Welcome to the land of the Desert Sphinx, an arid landscape that managed to find itself stranded in the middle of the ocean. This sandy oasis is the perfect place for plundering. Just watch that the wind stays on yer side! Dust storms often form here, sending pirates and items flying all over the place. Keep your wits about ye as ye go sailing through the air to victory.
Feature: Trajectory arrows for throwable items – just hold the action button on throwable items, like the axe, dynamite, and Molotov cocktail to see a UI overlay that shows the trajectory of the throw.
Feature: AI Improvements – Smarter NPC pirates
Feature: SFX tweaks and updates
Bug Fixes: Numerous fixes to issues in v1.0 found internally or from player community
All players on Switch can access the new Plunder Panic update now.
