Mark your calendars, folks! Panic is gearing up to spill the beans on the second season of Playdate games this April 17. The event, dubbed Playdate Update, kicks off at 1PM ET. Expect deets on the devs involved, pre-order options, and pricing. 😊
Remember the Playdate’s charm? Its season structure delivers two free games weekly for 12 weeks. Season one was a hit, featuring gems from big names like Keita Takahashi. The mix? Adventure, platformers, and more. A curated feast for gamers.
Post-launch hiccups had us wondering: would there be a season two? Panic played it smart, launching Catalog, an on-device store, to keep the game flow steady. Then, October 2024 brought the good news: season two is a go for 2025.
Here’s a fun fact: Playdate and Catalog have funneled over $1M to developers. Plus, 70K units sold since 2022. Just a heads-up, the Playdate now costs $229, up from $179. Worth it? You decide.
Catch the reveal live on Panic’s site or YouTube. April 17, 1PM ET. Don’t miss out!
