Pirots 5

ELK Studios is preparing to send its well-travelled flock of birds on another adventure when Pirots 5 releases on 22 July 2026, this time swapping the space setting of earlier instalments for an Egyptian backdrop. According to the announced storyline, the crew crash-lands back on Earth after their exploits in space, accidentally burning a theme park map that reveals a lost city of gold and clues to the whereabouts of the traitorous Captain Blackfeather — setting the stage for the series' now-familiar CollectR symbol-gobbling gameplay, reworked with an Egyptian coat of paint.

Once live, the four collector birds are set to take turns gathering adjacent gems matching their own colour, moving around the grid as they go, with the game playing out on a 6x6 layout that's expandable up to 8x8 as the action builds. That grid expansion, together with arrows, boulders and coin mechanics layered on top of the core collecting loop, should give the round genuine room to escalate the longer a bird keeps moving. ELK Studios has rated the announced build 7 out of 10 for volatility, with a headline RTP of 96% and a stake range expected to run from 0.20 to 100 per spin.

As Pirots 5 hasn't launched yet, these figures and mechanics reflect what ELK Studios has announced rather than anything currently playable. Fans of the CollectR series will want to keep this page bookmarked for the full review once 22 July 2026 arrives — until then, johnessyslots.com has the earlier Pirots instalments and plenty of other ELK Studios slots ready to play right now.
