We are so grateful to have shared in this journey with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued dedication to the Club Penguin and Club Penguin Island games and for being a member of our family. From day one of development, Club Penguin Island has been a true passion project for everyone here at Disney but, the time has come for the party to end. When we replaced the original Club Penguin game a year and a half ago, we always strived to make Club Penguin Island the best mobile successor to the original game. Players from countries around the world showed their commitment to the game by adopting 25 million Puffles and creating over 200,000 videos.

In a time when games come and go within months, it was one of the longest-running kids’ games of all time and at its height, had over 200 million accounts. Thanks to you, Club Penguin has been more than a game it’s been a global community where you have gathered to socialize and express yourselves. We’ll be providing players with all the necessary information in the coming weeks via in-game messages and updates here on Island News. There’s no easy way to say this but after 13 incredible years, Club Penguin will be sunsetting at the end of this year.
