The Creators just announced the next Poptropica Island — Survival Island! Of course, we already knew what it was, but the newest post from the PCB reveals their newest plans for island — Episodes! This means more play, more often, as we’ll be playing new chapters as they become available!

They’ll be releasing three episodes for Survival at different times, the first being Crash Landing, and it’s different than any other experience before! The first chapter will be released to Poptropica Members on the 20th of March (this month), so expect multiple posts from the PHB until then. 😀

off-topic alert: Change of plans concerning the Poptropican Portrait Livestream March 2014, we’re changing the time from 6:00 EST to 7:00 EST. I’m sorry if you won’t be able to make it. Also, Samwow5 will be about 30 minutes late, so just keep that in mind. c;

Anywho, there are a lot of things we need to go over concerning Survival Island and now Deep Dive Island. Survival and Deep Dive are definitely broken into three parts now, and all I can say is — each of these parts look like they will be as big and long as a regular island.

I didn’t say like a regular island. I said just as long. These islands look more like obstacle courses, with challenging/frightening places that you have to get past. In Survival Island, your blimp crashes in the wilderness, but we don’t know the plot of Deep Dive yet.

I’ve uncovered the creepy main theme for Survival Island on the Behind the Scenes page along with multiple other new tunes, but here’s the theme just for a taste:

Gives me chills! 😀

You will be facing many different challenges– broken trees, owls, and a scary monster… maybe a bear? You will need to assemble multiple pages out of a handbook, those pages being the mystical ones we’ve been pondering about from the Daily Pop.

We’ve been forgetting about something that has happened long before any note of this Survival Island — Reality TV Island. Before the cheaply made mini game filled island came out, it was rumored to be a huge survival camp island, with mountains, awesome animals, food from the wild, and more. Perhaps they’re fulfilling their unfulfilled island in Survival Island. After all, RTV was based on Survivor!

And, since there is a backstory to cover, I’ll be releasing a series of posts called The Survival Island Files. Sound familiar? 😛 I’ll be going over the many elements that may be showing up in the Survival series. I’ll be posting them up until the release. Beware of the forest — many things await. 😉

Remember that we only know about Part 1 of Survival Island. There’s more to come. 😉

I think March is gonna be the month of something lightning-related interfering with our mortal Poptropican lives. So the Creators just posted this teaser – I actually think it’s for that Survival card…

Yup, it looks like a good ol’fashioned thunderstorm is gonna leave us on that mess on Survival Island…eh, that happened to Gilligan and the crew of the Minnow too, so I can’t really complain.

Ah whatever. We’ve parachuted from thunderstorms before! We’ve had final confrontations in ’em before. Heck, we even fought the freaking GOD of THUNDER!

But it looks like this squall is gonna leave us in a doozy….that poor Poptropican looks geniunely scared.

And I am too.

…

Speaking of thunder, I’m kinda left wondering when the heck the Mythology Island SUI is coming.

Just putting that out there.

My logical mind is patient, while my favoritism mind is just like Jiminy Cricket in that picture.

BT out!

…

Eep.

EDIT #3: Along with Wind Power, there’s also a Ghillie Suit waiting to be released! And if that wasn’t enough, Survival Island + Deep Dive Island are now split apart into 3 parts on the SUI list! The second episode for Survival will be “Hook, Line, and Sinker“. Fishy? :3

EDIT #2: The Wind Power item is now gone! All we have left of the memory is this picture… or not! 😛

EDIT #1: A “Wind Power” members only card has been added to the store (thanks Squeezy Wing for the initial update), along with an empty slot where a card should be. I can’t seem to buy or use the card — how about you? These aren’t just the normal gold cards — they’re for an island (or an episode), as listed at the top of the card:

Survival – Episode 1? Things are starting to get interesting! 😀 By the looks of the card graphic, it seems like this is related to those winterscapes from the Daily Pop. Check back on this post to get the latest news.

Anyway, I’ve got two new pieces of oh-so-valuable information — the names of the upcoming islands!

The first island may have been the one who won the Dream Island Contest, but perhaps not, since they only decided the island last Friday. The fish/survival camp Daily Pops have been appearing much sooner than that — but nonetheless, Fuzzy-B was right! Without further ado, I bring you Survival Island and Deep Dive Island!

How do you know?! It’s all in the files! Listed along with upcoming SUIs like Mythology Island are the names Survival and Deep Dive. Strangely, the urls “survivalisland.com” and “deepdiveisland.com” do not redirect to Poptropica — perhaps they haven’t purchased them yet?

Even more is revealed about Survival Island. It looks somewhat like a fetch quest, where you have to find and assemble a handbook, build a fire, and push a boulder. The items in the island include an Ax Handle, Dry Kindling, Flint, a Handbook, Logs, Mittens, a Nest, a Striker, and some Wet Kindling… this seems quite vague for a full island. What are the odds that this is just a Mini-Quest?

Something about the story is obvious — there is a crash landing that leaves you stranded in the wilderness. The picture below is from the actual code… what could have gone wrong?

Gretchen Grimlock comes to mind, but in all seriousness, what are these? They don’t seem to have a Main Street, they have no island urls, and they seem very short. Survival Island anyway. Are they just Mini-Quests? Only time will tell. More about the islands in posts to come.
