Prosymega. Playmaji, the developer behind physical-media-reading multi-console Polymega, has posted a cryptic message on the company’s X account, filled with dramatic, purple text but not overtly teasing any one project or release in particular. “Years passed, and a great city rose, welcoming kingdoms far and wide.
