It’s been quite a while since Herbert destroyed the EPF back in 2017 during Operation Blackout, but both the EPF and the PSA has now been rebuilt!
If you head to the EPF or PSA HQ, you’ll find both rooms look as before. However, something really cool has replaced the VR Room, accessible from the green tube in the EPF HQ.
A new custom room, with some amazing decorations! My favourite part is the super dramatic music which goes with the darker room. There’s several animations too, such as by throwing a snowball at the Herberts.
Along with the room changes, Gary has sent us a new message to our spy phones, suggesting there’s more to come.
Attention all agents! The EPF and PSA have been fully rebuilt with a new state of the art Recon Room. It took a while as we were caught up following some leads, more information will be given in the coming weeks.
-Gary
It seems like there could be more to come! Could this be related with the dialog sneak peek from Gary which we received lately? We’ll probably find out in the “coming weeks”.
Alternatively, it could be Field-Ops since those are currently down, and that would be really cool.
A new sneak peek has been released by the Club Penguin Rewritten team, featuring a dialog from Gary!
This one is a bit different from the previous sneak peek which featured the custom missions to the game, which the team recently said will come eventually but wasn’t a priority.
Old mission sneak peek
You’ll notice that the old sneak peek is a bit different to the new one, as the new one seems more like an event dialog rather than a PSA mission dialog.
Here’s the sneak peek which was released.
This could be suggesting that an event involving Gary may take place in the near future, but who knows? Thank you very much for reading, be sure to check back for more of the latest news and guides!
A new message has been sent out via the spy phone on Club Penguin Rewritten, giving a hint of the upcoming party which Rookie is planning, and probably even going to visit for!
I’ve got BIG news! I was asked to help plan this month’s Expedition Party! I have lots of good ideas too. Read about it in next week’s newspaper!
-Rookie, EPF spy phone message
It means that this month, the island is going to have some sort of Expedition Party! It’s not known exactly what it’ll consist of yet, but be sure to check back for more of the latest news and guides.
As part of the recent update, the team fixed a bug where a random number of medals would somehow be awarded to your EPF spy phone.
It’s currently a bit tricky to earn medals since Field-Ops haven’t been available for over a year. They were very useful for buying Elite Gear and contributed to stamps!
There will be [presumably different] ways to earn medals in the upcoming weeks
-Joee, Club Penguin Rewritten administrator
It really does seem like, especially with us receiving a message from Gary, that the EPF rebuild will be really soon!
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve written a post about an Elite Spy Phone message, but Gary has finally sent us one on Club Penguin Rewritten!
If you have the spy phone, you would’ve received a message from Gary explaining that he’s updated the operating system an all EPF phones.
Update: There were two other new messages this week, and some new gear!
Come in agents, I’ve just updated the operating system on all EPF phones. This way, we should be able to communicate easily. Stay tuned for further notices.
Gary sending us a message after so long seems to really suggest that the EPF rebuild is rapidly approaching, and could be soon!
Just a small amount of news on the Elite Penguin Force & Penguin Secret Agency which I wanted to share, it’ll likely be rebuilt in 2019.
The team also stated that Card Jitsu Fire has been more difficult to work on compared to the EPF Rebuild, which a lot has been revealed about, and you can read more on that here.
(EPF/PSA) rebuild would be focused on next year, not this year.
-stu, Club Penguin Rewritten administrator
The EPF was destroyed last year during Operation Blackout, which is confirmed never to return, but the team have promised big plans for the EPF and PSA, including custom missions.
Earlier today, the Club Penguin Rewritten team held a small stream where they waddled around the island, acted a play, played games and answered a lot of questions!
It was pretty long, but it wasn’t the Devcast (which will be coming in October) and it was hosted by Joee, RogerDan and stu. Sadly, the video isn’t available to be watched again, but I did record some of the interesting information revealed.
Rockhopper
Rockhopper has been confirmed to be the only mascot visiting for The Fair! Rookie isn’t visiting as he visited for the Penguin Games.
It was also confirmed that he’ll be visiting the island a few more times for the party, so feel free to check out the Rockhopper Tracker for a chance to grab his new background.
October
The 13th Anniversary Party for Club Penguin has been confirmed to occur on Club Penguin Rewritten today, and that’ll be around October 24th! There’ll be some “very awesome” stuff in October, including multiple events.
Talking of the 13th Anniversary, the team have announced they’ll be doing some sort of giveaway likely around that time on social media (Twitter), but not much more has been revealed for certain yet.
As for Halloween, it’s going to be the “biggest party yet” in stu’s opinion, though a lot of it is still in development. More details will be released closer to the time, including information on mascots, however for now we know that a Candy Hunt is very likely.
Lastly, October is going to have a huge Penguin Style catalog!
Other points
Here’s some other things which were revealed:
Joee has always “wanted to do Camp Penguin” (an event from 2007), but it’s not confirmed as it would take a lot of time due to having to redraw all the rooms
There’ll be more custom stamps in the future, as the team feel it was a featured “neglected” on classic Club Penguin
There won’t be a “golden mullet”/anything harder than the grey mullet
Custom EPF missions won’t be for a while – this is due to the amount of time it takes to implement and that the team are currently focusing on Card Jitsu Fire instead
I believe that covers everything revealed, but if it doesn’t, I will update this soon. Thank you very much for reading, waddle on!
The first Devcast was recorded last night, in which the Club Penguin Rewritten team held a podcast, announcing a ton of stuff and answering a lot of questions!
If you’d like to watch the full thing, you can do so here! However, I will still share everything significant shared, though bare in mind that includes a lot of spoilers which were given!
The Fair 2018
A lot of news and sneak peeks were revealed about the Fair, including lots of room designs! These were the rooms which were revealed in the video, though please note that the prizes aren’t the ones shown in the images!
Talking of the prizes, the team confirmed that there will be custom (exclusive to Club Penguin Rewritten) rewards which can be earnt by winning tickets, and that this year’s Fair will be a lot better than last year’s!
Card Jitsu
A lot was revealed on Card Jitsu during the podcast, including a full picture of the Fire Dojo! Though you’ve likely seen it before, it’s still cool to know that Card Jitsu Fire is on the way, and the team have been hyping it up a lot recently.
In regards to Card Jitsu Shadow, the team did state that they were looking into it, but it’s not something which is going to be a focus on anytime soon, especially with Card Jitsu Fire, Water and Snow needing to come first.
The news on Card Jitsu is probably some of the most exciting recently, but a lot more was also revealed!
Game/Room Revamps & Stamps
Cart Surfer and Ice Fishing have both received amazing redesigns, and extensions for Dance Contest and Sled Racing have been added, but a lot more are planned!
You may recall that Hydro Hopper stamps are likely but now it seems Hydro Hopper and Jet Pack Adventure will be the next games to be revamped! The team also said that eventually their ideas from when the game closed will be added, and one of those ideas was a revamp of Astro Barrier, so perhaps that will come soon too!
Note: This is not an official design, but Infi-Nerdy kindly allowed me to publish his design
In terms of other things related to stamps, the team confirmed that Coins for Change will be occurring again in December, and they’ll be adding the stamps which you can obtain by donating a specific amount of coins in one go.
Lastly, for rooms, the next room to be getting a slight redesign similar to the Pizza Parlor is the Coffee Shop.
Igloo System
Quite a bit of awesome changes were announced to igloos:
Igloo Likes will be added (allows other penguins to like your igloo)
There’ll be an option to save igloos and most likely flooring in the future
More igloo contests will be held in the future
Along with this, the team confirmed that they were working on improving the puffle care system too, but haven’t given more details other than they’ll fix puffle health!
Elite Penguin Force
It’s already been shared by the team that they’re planning to finish construction in November, and that the EPF HQ will be redesigned, but the team have now confirmed there’ll be custom missions with unique storylines, and there’ll “definitely” be new missions in the future.
Sneak peek of custom mission system
A few other things were also confirmed: the team are looking into adding the Treasure Book, there are no plans for future colours yet and no new mascots have been thought of yet, although the team recently confirmed there’ll be new ones.
Overall though, the podcast was really cool and an excellent idea! Lots of exciting stuff was revealed, and there’ll hopefully be one soon in the future! I might have missed something, but I believe I’ve covered all the significant information in this blog post.
Last night, stu commented on the idea of Dot, Herbert and Jet Pack Guy visiting together for a party in the future, similar to Operation Blackout.
He said the following in-game yesterday, suggesting that it is a possibility it would happen:
It would be cool to see Dot, JPG and Herbert again for a party. However, I don’t know what party yet.
-stu, Club Penguin Rewritten administrator
I also think it would be amazing to see them again for something EPF related! Though Operation Blackout will never return, it’s something which could occur for other EPF-related things, but it’s not known if anything is planned yet.
