Balatro is getting a "major gameplay update" next year with "new ideas and strategies" as the roguelike poker sensation sells 2 million copies
Balatro is somehow getting even better

Balatro's solo developer has celeb🎃rated two million sales of their roguelike game by announcing three surprises, the first of which is a free "major gameplay update" coming next year.
Just🐽 revealed today, Balatro's debut update is being billed by solo developer LocalThunk as a "major gameplay update," which will "bring new ideas and strategies to the game." This is a token of thanks from LocalThunk to Balatro's players, as the excellent roguelike card-based game has smashed through two million 💫sales since launch earlier this year.

Perhaps the new update coming in 2025 will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:inflict even✤ more banana-based lo🌳re on Balatro. Bananas play a surprisingly big part in LocalThunk's game, and the solo developer threatened earlier this year to "bloat this game with even more banana lore." Balatro is so excellent that I'd💧 genuinely take any excuse to play it some more, banana lore or not.
But one thing's clear: one of the new Balatro surprises won't be a casino or actual gambling game based on the roguelike indie, because Balatro's creator specifically forbids such a thing in th♕eir will. The solo developer is so against the concept that they've got a stipulation in their will that means 🐓it can't be s♚old or licensed to gambling companies whatsoever, which is music to my ears.
