In August 2009, Media Molecule announced that a future update would add water to the game. Eventually, it was revealed that the water would be released as part of a "Pirates of the Caribbean"-themed downloadable content pack that arrived on 22 December 2009. Much like the "Metal Gear Solid" pack, the premium downloadable content pack contained six new levels and also unlocks new Creator tools allowing users to use the new mechanics in their levels. It allows the user to add water to their levels, and these tools include a Global Water Object allowing users to trigger changes in the water properties of their levels as well as a water-activated switch, a scuba-gear pick-up and a bubble machine. The pack also features "Pirates of the Caribbean"-themed stickers, decorations, music, backdrops, objects and materials. Whilst users are required to purchase this pack to create levels with water and water-related items, users can play levels utilising the features whether they purchase the pack or not.
