Hey, Poptropicans! We’re excited to share some updates on the anticipated fan game, Poptropica: Legends. Let’s get the biggest news out of the way: the game’s demo is set to release in July 2025!🎉🎮🗓️
That’s right! The Poptropica: Legends demo is releasing next month!
Get ready to rediscover, recollect, and reignite in the Meridian’s Lighthouse Beta! Patrons get early access to the Lighthouse beta next month, then everyone gets full access to the polished version released sometime after that. Here’s what to expect in this playable preview:
- 2 Sidescrolling Scenes
- 3 Top-Down Scenes
- Soundtrack
- Dialogue
- Inventory
- Achievements
- Sound Effects
- ~30 minutes of gameplay
The game’s creator, HPuterpop, wants to celebrate the game’s demo release by sharing some new progress on the project.
First up, we have a curated collection of assets: cursors, items cards, backgrounds, character sprites, and even the main menu! These assets clearly take inspiration from Poptropica’s while putting a unique pixelated spin on them. By the way, that character sheet may look familiar to those who have read HPuterpop’s How to Draw a Poptropican essay. ✏️
You may have also spotted a “Free Play” section on the main menu. While you explore the world as Meridian in Story Mode, you can create and play as a custom character in Free Play Mode, just like in OG Poptropica!
Now, here are a couple of new faces joining the story: an ancient spirit named Booga, who is inspired by the Shark Tooth Island temple keypad, and two organizations called the Bureau of Heroic Poptropicans (BHP) and the Poptropica Espionage Network (PEN) . Hmm, that BHP sounds a little familiar… 🤔
Finally, check out this video preview of an in-game conversation between Meridian and Puck! It’s a neat look at how you interact with NPCs, complete with detailed sprites and 10/10 voice acting. 😜

Oh wow, I remember looking forward to Orb Legend back in 2016 when I’d just found out about the PHB. Nonetheless, game looks great, can’t wait for the demo…!
Hey, good to see you again, Pea Sea! Legends has been a long time coming for sure, and it’s exciting that we’re getting closer to launch! 💚
Hey Fishy! Oh, for sure.
BTW, glad to see the blog’s still running. If anything, the PHB’s more like Poptropica than Poptropica itself is right now in the sense that it has recorded everything that’s ever happened to the game, and it still stands despite Poptropica’s sad end. A true time capsule. Pretty remarkable.
I hope you’re well and God be with you!
