Hello Poptropicans! Maryann here with a rundown of the latest updates to the clubhouse items, store, and Creators’ Blog!
Many of these new items take on a more modern style, including neon lights and a small vending machine. There’s also some gamer oriented decor, including a gaming chair and a neat little wall sign.
This recent store update included new outfits as well as the return of some familiar ones, including the Heart Astro Knight (a hint at the creators remembering the objectively best much-loved island?), as well as more Winter Girl/Boy sets. New additions include some cute t-shirts!
Along with a clubhouse update post, the Creators’ Blog made another soon after discussing the future of Poptropica in 2021. This post recalls the game’s creation by Jeff Kinney, as well as plans for “new islands… player requested updates to features, launching new side-quests and mini-games, and even giving Home Island a makeover.”
The post ends with dubbing 2021 the “Year of Stories” and hinting at another guest blog post about Paradise (Airport) Island. It also included this really pretty art!
That being said, mentions of new islands have encouraged a pressing question: Where is the news on the Dream Island contest? The most recent addition to the line-up was Goofball Island about a month ago. While outfits and accessories are fun, what makes Poptropica unique are its stories and islands, and it would be nice to have some idea of what is planned for the future, as well as what fan ideas can be achieved through the contest!
I don’t want to end this on a sour note though! So, what are your favorite of these new items? And what are your hopes for future Poptropica islands, both reboots and newcomers?

Does the space bounty hunter come with a small, green guy who kind of looks like Kermit the fro- …nevermind.
Nah, I think it comes with a mini Shrek or something.
In all seriousness, I think the green chamillion will do for him.
Interesting to hear they’re considering 2021 a “Year of Stories.” Let’s hope that really is the case! The statue pic looks cool, though it seems more like promotional art rather than something that might appear in-game (though that would be nice). And yes, if this is to be the “Year of Stories,” let’s see more sneak peeks for these stories and islands in the works!
I think so as well, but it’s still nice to see more official art from them! But yeah, more island art would be epic!
Yeah! Let’s get haxe and flash to join together and become one! All the features from flash to haxe! Poptropica Airways! Wowow!!!!!!
I hope that’s their goal! Even if we don’t get some great major changes to the game, I would be happy with just a port of most of it!
Cool!
Only story I’m interested in seeing this year is the Monster Carnival remaster. Creators, please do not disappoint!
Yep! That is like the best island for me!
Although I also like time tangled.
