Panic has made iOS and Mac software for over 20 years, like Coda, Transmit, and Prompt. They\u2019re also the creators of the popular Firewatch game. Now they\u2019ve decided to get into hardware with Play Date. To summarize it, Play Date is a black and white Gameboy with a hand crank and a game subscription. There aren\u2019t a lot of details yet, but it sounds like the hand crank acts as a controller, rather than as a way to power the device. The console will cost US$149, ship in early 2020, and come with 12 games as part of \u201cSeason One\u201d that will be included.<\/p>\n
The games will be delivered over-the-air, once a week for 12 weeks, and they\u2019ll be a surprise: when the new game light flashes, you\u2019ll never know what you\u2019re about to play. Panic recruited some of the world\u2019s best game designers \u2014 some well known; others under the radar \u2014 to make games exclusively for our system.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":3148,"featured_media":69086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[9766],"class_list":["post-69082","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-gaming"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
