Panic announced a handful of new Playdate games and updates to existing titles alongside a full Season 2 slate of titles. While some of the new games will appear before 2024 ends, the new season and others won’t show up until the next year.
The video going over the Fall 2024 update for the Playdate first focused on upcoming games available outside of Season 2. Lukas Wolski’s Owlet’s Embrace platformer will launch in late 2025, and it appeared first in the showcase. After that, the upcoming adventure game Comet appeared. That still is only listed as “coming soon.” Office Chair Curling, a curling game where you use rolling, swivel chairs instead of stones, is also “coming soon.” The word puzzle gamewill debut on November 26, 2024. Devils on the Moon Pinball is another 2025 release that came up in the showcase after that.
The games Under the Castle, Rowbot Rally, and Root Bear will also get updates with new content this year. The Under the Castle update is live now. The Rowbot Rally one follows on December 17, 2024. There’s no launch window beyond 2024 for the Root Bear one.
As for Playdate Season 2, that came up at the 12 minute mark. Owners of the system will be able to buy the new season pass from the catalog in 2025, but there’s no price for it yet. Those games will roll out in 2025, much like the first season.
Here’s the full showcase:
Playdate is available now, and the Fall Sale 2024 is live until November 14, 2024.
