Club Penguin is a media franchise that was created in 2005 with the release of the online massively multiplayer online game (MMO) Club Penguin, later bought out by Disney. Club Penguin inspired a variety of console video games, books, and television specials. Following the game's discontinuation in March 2017, the game was replaced by a successor, Club Penguin Island (2017), which was released on mobile and desktop, and two unlicensed recreations, Rewritten (2017) and New (2020). However, Island was discontinued in November 2018, while Rewritten was ordered shut down by Disney in April 2022, leaving New as the only remaining Club Penguin instalment.
