Storms A-comin!
Were stoked to be launching the great ship 2.4, bringing general improvements to Paper Pirates, plus a whole new way to play! Play a Daily Voyage each day to boost your coin collection, celebrate the seasons with limited-time content (including the Halloween event running from 1st-31st October!), and check out the new way to pick an objective on a Scored Game. Read on for the notes in full!
Go on a Daily Voyage!
Weve added a new game mode to Paper Pirates, the Daily Voyage! Set sail each day with a Daily Voyage, featuring a set of game customisation options that we think makes for a really interesting Paper Pirates experience. Find whole new ways to play, and earn yourself a huge coin bonus once a day! There are over 15 daily voyages for you to discover - can you collect them all?
Celebrate the Season with Paper Pirates!
Support has been added for seasonal events, which will run at key holidays throughout the year! Seasonal events add all-new content for a limited time only - including new options in the Outfit Shop and special Events.

Our first event is the Halloween Haunted Seas Event, running from 1st October to 31st October, with a whole raft of limited-time content. Haunted Seas content will only be available during the month of October, so be sure to get spooky on the seven seas to try out some all-new Paper Pirates goodness!
Choose an Objective & New Objectives!
Its always rough when you get the same secret objective in a Scored Game over and over again. Starting a Scored Game will now offer all pirates a choice between two of the secret objectives, which you can confirm through the black spot! You only have until the end of the first day to choose an objective, otherwise well pick for you - and nobody wants that!

To keep it fresh, weve also added
five new secret objectives, bringing the total to 20, ensuring that everyone will be offered unique objectives even in ten player games. Check out the Captains Log to learn more about the new objectives.
More Help for the Crew while Playing!
Weve added a new menu you can access while playing Paper Pirates on your connected device, which houses a whole host of new options intended to make playing Paper Pirates easier and more accessible! The Game Log has moved to live inside the new menu, and joins new friends, including a summary of the Paper Pirates rules, an Event Guide, an Objectives Guide, and a Game Info screen, which lets players know what settings were used to start the game!
Revamped Playing In Screen
Choosing whether to obey or disobey has never been so exciting, as the playing in screen has had a radical overhaul to improve readability and make it more visually appealing! Additionally, weve streamlined the process to make the rules simpler to understand: No longer does the captain tell a Truth or Lie, but chooses to Obey or Disobey - the same as the rest of the crew!
Reveal Role on Vote Overboard
Weve added a new option to Custom Games, which allows you to set games to Reveal Role on Vote Overboard. With this setting on, the crew will get confirmation when voting a pirate overboard as to whether the pirate thrown overboard was a human, or a ghost. This can really change the way you have to play, and works great if you have a random number of ghosts at the start of the game! Roles are only confirmed when players are thrown overboard in votes, so watch out for events that throw pirates overboard - theyre still to cause mystery and chaos!
A Few Other Things
- We added four new achievements - which also means four awesome new hats! Check Steam to see how you can get each of these new achievements:
- A Voyage a Day
- Seven Seas
- Big Spender
- The Compass of Fate
- We fired the end game kraken, and hired a much more modern, sleeker, more awesome-looking one. This also means the Squid Hat has an amazing new look.
Bug Fixes
Custom Games with a customised event loadout would sometimes miss one of your events out. Oops! Theyre all included now, which means games with only one event should again be functional!
