We've been getting a real kick out of the offbeat cable TV parody that is
Blippo+, which arrived with Playdate's Season Two, and now it's looking like
non-Playdate owners will be able to experience the strangeness too later this
year. Panic, along with Telefantasy Studios, Noble Robot and the artists
Yacht, announced at the PC Gaming Show that Blippo+ is coming to PC and
Nintendo Switch in fall 2025. And unlike the 1-bit black and white programs
we've been tuning into on the Playdate, it'll all be in color.

Blippo+ features a roster of live-action programs that may or may not be
alien transmissions, plus a forum called Femtofax that brings you even deeper
into the unusual goings-on of the Blippians. Panic revealed with the second
week of Season Two games that Blippo+ wouldn't just be a one-off release, but
would instead get weekly content updates every week for the next eleven
weeks. When it lands on the other platforms, Blippo+ will have "a time-
hopping mechanic so viewers can travel back and forth through weeks of TV
programming without losing the magic of 'non-demand' linear viewing."

Panic

It's absurd, it's nostalgic ΓÇö Blippo+ was made with vintage analog
broadcast equipment, according to the creators ΓÇö and it's totally
unpredictable. You really never know what madness it's going to serve up
next, and it's great. In color, things are only going to get weirder.
