In a move that came out of left field, the AYN Odin 3 is no longer available for pre-order from Indiegogo. No, this doesn’t mean that you can’t pre-order one at all, but instead of dealing with Indiegogo, you can now just head over to the AYN website to pick up the Odin 3 for yourself.
The official announcement was made over on the AYN Discord, leaving many wondering whether their initial orders would still be accepted. Since the campaign was simply “suspended,” this basically means it was just put on pause. All of the existing orders have been accounted for, and on the Odin 3 landing page, it says “Pre-order, shipping starts in end of November but will ship Indiegogo order first.”
All of this is happening as I type this article, so it’s worth noting that the pricing on the AYN website matches the current “Early Bird” offerings from Indiegogo. So it’s probably safe to assume AYN will be keeping the same schedule and raising the prices across the board once IGG pre-orders begin shipping out.
Lastly, those wondering about pre-ordering accessories will have to wait just a bit longer. According to Nicole over at the AYN Discord, Odin 3 accessories will be added to the site “later today.”
First Gameplay Footage
I guess you could kind of say that this was coordinated, as at the same time that the IGG campaign news was announced, AYN dropped a new YouTube video. No, it’s not just another rendered teaser video, but instead, it’s our first “real world” look at the Odin 3.
