Panic slipped some major news into its fall Playdate Update: Season Two is happening, and well see it next year. Can I get a hell yeah!? Its been over two years since Season One dropped, and in the time since, its remained unclear whether another would ever follow. But in todays livestream, Panics Video & Podcast host Christa Mrgan confirmed that Season Two is a go, and its happening next year. Consolation for killing the Stereo Dock, perhaps?
There are a lot of details we still dont know about Season Two, like how much it'll cost (Season One was included with the purchase of a Playdate), but a spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that Playdate owners will have to buy it from the Catalog. Information on pricing and the exact number of games will be released in 2025. The first season brought two games per week over the course of 12 weeks, amounting to 24 games in all. According to Mrgan, Season Two so far includes about a dozen games. Theres also apparently another really cool surprise thing that we arent allowed to know the details about just yet, and my curiosity is definitely piqued.
In addition to the Season Two announcement, the fall update also highlighted some upcoming Catalog games to look out for in the coming weeks and into 2025: Owlets Embrace, a metroidvania about an owl who is scared to fly; Comet, a puzzle-adventure game about a girl who is forced to face her fear of the dark after her brother goes missing; Office Chair Curling, which is exactly what it sounds like and looks absolutely absurd in the best way; Bwirds, a cute word puzzle game; a pinball game called Devils on the Moon from the makers of the Tetris-like, Pullfrog; and the top-down boat racing game, RowBot Rally.
Theres also a huge Catalog sale going on right now that runs through November 14. Some of our favorite Playdate games are deeply discounted, so if youve been waiting for the right moment to scoop up all the titles on your to play list, now would be the time.
