Playdate Season 3 is coming later this year

Summary: Playdate is getting a third season of curated, surprise games, Panic outlined today.

Background

We don't know much beyond the fact that Season Three is officially happening, but Panic's Head of Playdate Greg Maletic noted in an announcement video that it will be here "in time for the holidays" this year.

Considering we had to wait a whole three years for Season Two to come out following Season One's release with the console in 2022, that doesn't sound so bad.

Panic hasn't yet noted how many games Season Three will include, or how much it will cost.

While Season One had a total of 24 games — with a release schedule of two games per week for 12 weeks — last year’s Season Two had half the amount (plus Blippo+), and cost $39.

But that drop in quantity thankfully didn't mean a drop in quality.

Further details

Season Two was great, with a collection of games that felt stronger overall than the first.

I, for one, can't wait to see what Season Three brings.

In other exciting news, Panic also outlined today that the much, much-awaited game Office Chair Curling is finally available for purchase on Playdate and Steam, with the option for online cross-play.
