Get Ready to Grab the 2022 “Playdate” – Panic’s Coziest Portable Console
Panic is finally letting fate take a shot at the gaming scene by opening pre‑orders for its brand‑new handheld Playdate. Think of it as the littlest living room that packs a punch of pure retro joy.
What’s the Hype About?
- Limited Run – Only 20,000 sets will be available for pre‑orders, so it’s a real “first‑come, first‑serve” race.
- Delivery Countdown – The first batch is slated to hit your doorstep sometime in 2022.
- Celebrity Status – Beyond its beloved Mac/iPad/ iPhone apps, Panic is venturing head‑first into this new niche of portable gaming.
The “Playdate” Experience
“Playdate” is all about inventive gameplay with a quirky twist – it ships a hand‑held and each unit comes with a unique calendar of games you unlock day‑by‑day. It’s like a time capsule + a game console that doesn’t want to feel like a “tech”.
Why You Should Rally Behind It
Imagine pulling a device out of the plastic bag, pressing a button, and discovering a new, delightful game you didn’t know you needed. That’s exactly what Playdate promises; it’s casual, whimsically unpredictable, and is sure to spark conversations with friends at snack tables.
Blowing up a platter of that puzzling, “no‑in‑store‑drops-now” feeling, the Playdate is enticing for those craving a fresh, uncomplicated way to indulge in gaming – the kind that doesn’t make your wrist ache after a lifelong binge.
