Calling all ye landlubbers!

We've been working hard the past two weeks, in quarantine nevertheless, to bring you an awesome new update - Chat and Hats! Hats! That's right! We saw that your pirate outfits were looking a bit... lackluster, so this update brings 30 new unlockable hats! Each achievement will unlock a new hat for you to customise your pirate with in the lobby. We've also listened to your feedback and added an audience mode feature so that people who watch you play can have some agency in the game. Don't worry, if you don't want people to spectate on your game, you can disable spectators completely - but wheres the fun in that?

The full list of awesome new content includes:

Missed out on a game? Dont panic! Now you can join as a spectator! Jump into a game in progress, using the Room Code, and youll be able to observe that game - plus youll be able to play along, using our new spectator mode features!
And we would have got away with it too, if it wasnt for those meddling spectators! Between rounds, the spectators can vote on a choice of events. The more popular the event, the more likely it is to happen. It could be bad news for the Captain if things dont go their way...
Spooky sensations! If the audience has a feeling for who might be a ghost, they can get in on the voting action! Make a vote, and the players will find out who the audience suspects after their voting has completed...
How many people are in your audience? Check the top right of the screen - weve added an audience tracker, to show how many people are spectating your current game!
Ability to turn off the in-game chat features, for when youre playing with less sea-worthy crew members!
Earning an achievement is its own reward, but we thought we could do one better. Each achievement now unlocks an extra-special, never-before-seen, cosmetic hat to add more variety to pirate customisation!
As if that wasnt exciting enough, some of the most extra-special hats come with an added bonus: animations. Thats right, these hats really move! Time to get working on completing that achievement list!
And better yet, hats that follow the motion of the ocean! Weve got some physics going on to make some of the new hats extra special!
Unlocked all of the new hats? But where do I put them on? Hats are just where youd expect them - on a pirates head! When customising your pirate in the lobby, keep tapping the head button on your device until you get a hat you love!
But how do I know when Ive unlocked a new hat? Dont worry, keep an eye out for any Steam achievements, because theyll also come with the new Hat Unlock popup!
Did we mention hats? Were very excited about the hats!
We also added Paper Pirates as a recognised game on Twitch, so if youre livestreaming youll now be able to select it as your current game!

Well be moving this week's livestream over to the Iteration Games YouTube channel, so make sure to go check that out for some fun playing with us! Iteration Games YouTube channel

Paper Pirates Linux [494.07 M]

Ahoy shipmates! We be headin’ home with a bounty of gold! But what’s that? The captain’s ghost be hauntin’ the crew and wants his treasure back! Can ye last long enough to make it to shore? Or will ye be throwin’ treasure overboard as a ghost?

Paper Pirates is a social deduction game for 1 to 10 players, so bring along your best crew, see who you can trust, and who’ll be going overboard! Everyone connects to the game with an internet-enabled device, so everyone can play! And once you’ve got your crew together you can set sail on your adventure!

Sailing on Stream?

Crew all stranded ashore? We recommend playing Paper Pirates on your favourite streaming service to play with remote players! Don’t worry if you’re not in the same room; you can use the built-in chat feature. And with audience mode, if you’re streaming for the masses, everyone can jump in and affect how the game plays out!

Who can you trust?!

Every round, the captain will give out orders for their crew. Everyone doing their job gets us closer to shore, but watch out for when something goes wrong; a ghost must be about! And if things are going too well, then what’s to stop the captain being a ghost?

Get Off My Ship!

At the end of each round, you’ll vote for somebody to walk the plank. You want to purge the ghosts, but be careful... every innocent pirate overboard comes back to haunt someone anew!

I’m the Captain Now

When someone goes overboard you could be up for a promotion. The higher your rank, the more likely you are to get haunted and become a target. If you end up as captain, you’ll be the one choosing who gets to take part in each day’s task. Make sure you know who you can trust to get you home!

Packed with Events

Are things going too well? Oops, we’ve hit rocks; a whirlpool has caught us; cue spooky ghostly apparitions! Are we nearly all out of treasure and all hope is lost? Help could come from a message in a bottle; a spy in the crows nest; an exorcism at sea!
Paper Pirates is filled with events to make every journey different!

Custom Pirates

Always pictured yourself with the eyepatch and hook? Get creative with your pirate in the pre-game lobby when getting ready to set sail!

Custom Games

Wanting to mix up your adventure? Customise the game to your liking, starting with more ghosts? More treasure? More events to shake up the action? It could make your journey home plain-sailing, or be a fast-track to the bottom of the ocean!

Hats and Achievements

Fancy the captain’s hat but you’re stuck as the cabin boy? Not to worry, Paper Pirates has over 30 Steam achievements. Each achievement you unlock will earn you a new hat, which can be randomly chosen for your pirate to wear when customising your pirate in the game lobby! !
