Club Penguin Island is a massive MMORPG and is the successor to Club Penguin.The game was released worldwide on March 29, 2017 and was created by Disney Canada Inc. in order to keep the ''Club Penguin'' franchise alive as closing its predecessor, ''Club Penguin'', was necessary.

The game's public beta testing period took place in Australia and New Zealand from December 15, 2016 to its worldwide release, and in Canada from January 13, 2017 to its worldwide release. The game was discontinued on December 20, 2018. The gameplay is similar to that of the original ''Club Penguin'', though it runs on the game engine Unity rather than Adobe Flash Player.

''Club Penguin Island'' received mixed reviews from critics and many negative reviews from some of the original game's old players upon its worldwide release for lacking many features of the original version at launch. The 1.8 updates, released on November 30, 2017, received positive reviews for adding fan-requested features and launching a PC and Mac version of the game.

As of today Club Penguin Island is still a popular game with new updates every month also with new players joining every day

On November 17, 2016, the project was revealed to be ''Club Penguin Island''. The official website for the game was released and pre-registration began allowing players to pre-register their account for the game. By pre-registering, players would receive a Beta Hat, a set of six emojis, and 100 coins. Additionally, players had the option of connecting their ''Club Penguin'' accounts with their ''Club Penguin Island'' account. If this was done, they would also receive the Alumni Jacket, with a number on the back displaying how many years the connected ''Club Penguin'' account has existed. The pre-registration was ended on March 29, 2017. The game's closed beta took place between its announcement and December 2016 in North America.

A semi-private "geo-beta" took place in Australia and New Zealand between December 15, 2016 to its worldwide release. This beta was extended to iOS users in Canada on January 13, 2017.

== Gameplay ==
''Club Penguin Island'' is divided into various zones and distinct areas and contains a variety of features. Each player has a penguin level that is a measurement of their progress. Progress increases as the player completes Adventures and Daily Challenges. Every time a player reaches a new level, they receive a reward in the form of a pack, containing various items, such as emojis or blueprints. All rewards apart from emojis in these packs require membership to use.

=== Clothing ===
The Clothing Customizer, referred to as The Designer in loading screens, is a feature in Club Penguin Island that players can use to create clothing, utilizing blueprints as bases, and optionally, fabrics and/or decals as well for design. All players can use the Customizer, although only members can wear the resulting clothing. Members have the ability to sell their clothing and buy clothing submitted by other players. Each day, there is a different type of catalog, with a theme. The theme of the catalog determines which blueprints, fabrics, and decals can be used. The theme resets at midnight in Penguin Standard Time. (PST)
