Playdate Season 2 Is In Development And Launches Next Year

Panic has announced that Playdate Season 2 is currently in development and will launch sometime in 2025. It’s a new collection of games developed exclusively for the Playdate handheld.

Playdate owners who want to experience Season 2 as it rolls out will need to purchase the season through Panic’s store, Catalog. Details like the number of games included in Season 2, the price, and who the developers will be are going to be revealed at a later date next.

The Playdate handheld is currently on backorder, but orders will start shipping in December. Season 1 will also be included with every Playdate sold. The Playdate handheld is a special handheld console that uses a mechanical crank and has a black-and-white screen. It was released in April 2022.

In GameSpot’s Playdate review, we said, “The seasons of games model is a fun way to keep you coming back for new surprises, and the communal and open approach to expanding the Playdate library gives it enormous potential for the future.”

There’s currently a sale on over 160 Playdate games, and the sale ends on November 14.
