Playdate season 2 is about to end in 2025.
While the company’s downside timing has been obvious so far, developer Panic said it could have “a new collection of surprise purpose-built games” for its next release.
Main points about “the price, the exact number of games and the developers start [them]” will be shown in the next moment, and Panic mentioned that while the pandemic and the unparalleled rarity of the chips altered plans to simultaneously reduce video games in the same month as the first round of the month, “Playdate 2 hopes to meet that original idea” in the next moment. .
? Playdate owners will be able to purchase the original number of video games using the Playdate catalog when it launches. All unused Playdates purchased will have Playdate Season 1 included with the price of the device.
“From the beginning, the number one question from Playdate owners has been, ‘When will there be another season?'” says Playdate leader Greg Maletic.
“The first season was a success: players loved games like Crankin’s Time Travel Adventure and Zipper. They also loved the excitement of receiving two surprise games a week – that aspect of the soft launch encouraged players to dive deep into each title before the next one arrived. But One thing we couldn’t do with the first season was synchronize the game for everyone. With the second season, we can finally do it!
Donlan reviewed the Playdate console again in 2022, calling it “a fascinating puzzle in itself.”
“Linked to my memories of Mad magazine are inevitably a lot of memories of early home computers – the C64 and the Amstrad in my case – and there’s a lot of that DNA here too,” he wrote in Eurogamer’s Playdate review.
In March, there was an even bigger Playdate enigma: $400,000 worth of Playdate gaming consoles disappeared in Las Vegas, and company co-founder Cabel Sasser called it “a true crime drama.”
