The developers have dropped a release date - 7th April 2027 – alongside a new trailer which digs into the backstory of a super-intelligent octopus sniper, Salt, who fights in a mech. Read more

Unlike Nintendo, Playdate Maker Panic Is Doing The Right Thing With Tariff Refunds
"That's an easy way to know you made the right decision". Remember Donald Trump's tariffs?

You don't want to know the things they've told us about the loos.
