Reign of Omegon with Gains of Neon

Slanted Fish

Pop drop alert: PoptropiCon Island, Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon has been re-released for members on desktop and mobile! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿค–

With that, the PoptropiCon trilogy is once again complete (though it already is on Steam and Flashpoint). Once you’ve made your way inside the convention and uncovered a top-secret costume design, Episode 3 takes you to the final boss: the unexpected rise of a robot ruler.

If you’ll be visiting the depths of Omegon’s terrors, be sure to keep our PoptropiCon Island Guide near! No word yet on when it will officially re-release for non-members, but if we’re guessing from past patterns, it could be several months โ€” or even a year. Hopefully sooner, though.

The latest converted episode comes just after an announcement from the Pop Creators less than two weeks ago on the official blog, and a day after another brief appearance in our fan-run Discord server, the PHC. Poptropica didn’t stop to chat, but fans were quick to follow up with an emoji petition for bringing back the classic Astro-Knights Island. ๐Ÿš€

(UPDATE โ€“ DEC 2023:ย The Discord appearance has beenย debunkedย as not representing the real Poptropica. The PHB apologizes for the error.)

The Pop Creators’ Blog also brings news of a shop update featuring hoodies galore for the season of fall, as well as a new fanfic from guest writer Dizzy Feather. Check out the full shop stock as well as the prologue to The Adventures of Shy Owl on the official blog! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฆ‰

The start of a new month also means new member gifts! The latest batch for privileged players features a Neon Bike, Neon Leather Jacket, and Neon Helmet. Ride with style! โœจ

However, other expected monthly deliveries have yet to arrive with any mention โ€” namely the Baron’s airship along with the costume contest winner. Does the Baron’s unexplained absence last month have anything to do with it?

One more thing: September isn’t just any month, it’s Poptropica’s birthday month! Are there surprises in store? We’ll have to see… ๐Ÿ‘€

Anyway, enjoy the latest batch of Poptropica’s Instagram stories, filled with lots of fantastic villain-inspired fan art โ€” including an Astro-Knights animation and dancing to various Pop soundtracks! ๐Ÿ•บ

PoptropiCon Ep. 3 to return next month ๐Ÿค–

Slanted Fish

Wicked Cool News alert: PoptropiCon Island, Episode 3: Reign of Omegon returns to the map next month, completing the saga! โšก๏ธ

The news comes as Ep. 2: Spoiler Alert was re-released to all players two months ago, giving everyone a chance to explore the epic Poptropica convention and uncover the twist behind the Omegon costume contest.

Download extras including this screensaver from our PoptropiCon Island Guide!

There’s no mention yet about who will be granted access, but if the recent past is an indicator, the episode will probably release for members only first โ€” and hopefully for all eventually.

However, all episodes of PoptropiCon are currently playable in Poptropica’s paid Steam bundle, which also comes with many other newer classic islands. Read our Steam review here!

Onto another villain, Poptropica on Twitter recently put out a Pop poll about Dr. Hare’s species. As lore would have it, perhaps it’s both: Dr. Hare was a scientist who fused into his current form of evil genius rabbit when an experiment on a bunny rabbit went wrong. ๐Ÿฐ

Either way, he’s a longtime beloved icon in the fandom! Check out this fun marker drawing Pop recently retweeted from fan artist @loudcrab:

Stay tuned with us for the re-release of PoptropiCon’s conclusion for Haxe Poptropica, and keep on poppin’ on! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Happy Meals and Scrappy Feels ๐Ÿ˜Š

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for credits and characters!

There’s a new ad on Home Island for McDonald’s Happy Meals, which (for those in the US) are now offering Match Battle boxes as an extension of the Pokรฉmon trading card game. Watch the short video to earn 10 credits, and replay it as much as you like to keep collecting credits!

Thanks to HeartofEnder for the tip!

And while you’re on Home Island, don’t miss out on the Baron’s airship and whatever shenanigans are going on with the disappearance of the scrappy sky pirate who was recently voted “Most Captivating Current Character” in the Poppies! At least Ack is there to give out goodies. ๐Ÿ™‰

In other news, enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories showcasing iconic characters, including a lovely sketch of the Baron! As always, click the artists’ names to see more. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Keep on poppin’ on!

Stall no more: Rumpelโ€™s Challenge for all ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Slanted Fish

Adventures await, Poptropicans!

Pop drop alert: Rumpelโ€™s Challenge is now available for all! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Once for members only, this side quest sequel to Fairytale Island which first launched 10 months ago is finally welcoming non-members whoโ€™ve completed the main quest to continue the story.

To get cracking on the riddles, find Rumpelstiltskin on Home Island. Alas, the lead-up with the suspiciously twitching Baron is no longer in sight. For a helping hand in your inter-island search for the true king of Fairytale, keep our Rumpelโ€™s Challenge Side Quest Guide close! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‘‘

Speaking of the infamous magic man, check out this early concept art of the devilish character revealed on Popโ€™s Twitter! My, what big eyes you haveโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€

While youโ€™re on Home Island, you may also notice a new ad building for animated Netflix movie Sea Beast! ๐Ÿ™ Like the Rainbow High ad earlier, inside you can pick a team and play a game for prizes. Youโ€™ll have to run around and find 10 little beasts before time is up โ€“โ€“ mind the tentacles! You can play for each team to get each of their prizes: the Yellow Follower and Blue Follower (yup, how original).

(Thanks to Fearless Star for contributing to this segment!)

Also, guest writer Invisible Ring is back with a post of encouragement for finding a spirit of adventure with Poptropica. ๐Ÿ’ซ Check out her post over on the Creatorsโ€™ Blog, filled with tons of postcard-perfect shots!

And more excitement is to come โ€” check back later today for the start of our next round in the Poppies awards: the voting! See you soon!

Among Poptropica’s many chaotic tweets, here’s one for fans of Stranger Things: a crossover between Vecna’s Upside Down and the Baron’s Red October. Less than two weeks to go till volume 2 of season 4… in the meantime, fans of both may also enjoy our Stranger Things Pop-over!

Also, check out the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories! So much character in every character. ๐Ÿ˜Žโœจ (Tip: Click the hyperlinked names to view the original posts, including slides of multiple pics!)
