Playable Worlds is continuing its mystery countdown, posing intriguing questions and dropping some hints along the way.
As of today, Monday, June 24th, the countdown has reached number 4. The newest question is “What if…you could actually irrigate your farm?” and we’re not sure if the Raph Koster-led studio is about to announce an unprecedented deal with the water company for virtual farming technology or something else. New clues are here to stay tuned for.

As with prior entries in the countdown, each of the new tiles posted to the Playable Worlds social media accounts also features a black and white bar underneath the number of the day. Each of the black and white bars has the colors split differently, and we're wondering what else these cryptic devs may be hinting at.
10 - What if... you could easily change your mind about who your character is?
9 - What if... you could be admired and famous in an MMO for more than just your character level or raid skills?
8 - What if... the game also rewarded you for playing peacefully?
7 - What if... an MMO let you reshape the landscape?
6 - What if... you and your friends could govern an entire planet in your MMO?
5 - What if... even the devs didn't know what was hidden out there in the world?
The clues so far are definitely worth continuing to turn over until their mystery countdown ends in what should be an announcement. So far, the questions posed begin to hint at a very flexible game on the way, with and emphasis on player choices, a sandbox, options to suit different playstyles, and perhaps things like procedural generation and community-social options. Of course, this is all speculation, but these are the clues so far, with the exception of number four which is quoted above
We’ll see what Playable Worlds has been leading us to soon.
