Get ready to give that little yellow crank another spin! Panic Inc. has officially announced the start date for Playdate Season 2, and it's packed with a dozen brand-new games set to automatically land on your device starting Tuesday, May 28th.
Following the success of Season 1, which delivered 24 unique titles over 12 weeks, Season 2 promises another eclectic mix of inventive, quirky, and captivating experiences designed specifically for the Playdate's unique form factor and, of course, its signature crank.
The biggest headline grabber? Subset Games, the critically acclaimed studio behind the legendary FTL: Faster Than Light and the punishingly brilliant Into the Breach, is contributing a game to the season.

What ingenious twist on strategy or narrative will they bring to the tiny screen?
Season 2 continues Panic's model of delivering games as a surprise, with two new titles automatically downloading to your Playdate each week for six weeks. This curated approach ensures a steady stream of fresh content and encourages players to experiment with genres they might not typically try.
