First, the presentation will focus on the Playdate’s first season. Surprises were mentioned. However, the focus will be on offering details about pre-ordering the system and seeing what folks will be able to play.

As for actual information, all details also had to do with the Playdate pre-order opportunities and upcoming games. Pre-orders won’t open immediately after the showcase.
