The little console that could, Playdate, is getting a <\/a> at 12PM ET. Manufacturer Panic promises a 14-minute presentation chock full of new games that may or may not make use of the console\u2019s weird little crank.<\/p>\n

We only know one game that\u2019ll be featured at the event, but it\u2019s a doozy. Lucas Pope, the creator behind <\/em><\/a> and <\/em><\/a> has been busy prepping a Playdate title called Mars After Midnight<\/em>. We\u2019ll likely get a new trailer for the game, which was first revealed back in 2021. Panic also says the event will include a \u201crelease update\u201d on the title. So, the long wait is nearly over.<\/p>\n

Mars After Midnight <\/em><\/a> to Papers, Please, <\/em>though one set on an alien world and not in a fictional cold-war era country. You play as a door guard of an alien colony tasked with letting people in. That certainly sounds a whole lot like Papers, Please<\/em> to me. As you can see, the graphics look absolutely gorgeous and the game certainly makes use of that crank.<\/p>\n
