Even Balatro’s publisher doesn’t known when LocalThunk will be done with 1.1: “Maybe I should whisper in his ear, like, ‘So how’s those 200 new jokers coming?'”

Balatro 1.1 is on the way, and at the Game Developers Conference this week Wout van Halderen of publisher Playstack reconfirmed that it’s still on track for 2025. But even the game’s own publisher is in the dark about exactly when the update is coming or what’ll be in it.

Our friends at PC Gamer did their best to extract what info about Balatro 1.1 they could from van Halderen, but to no avail – in part because LocalThunk himself hasn’t even provided that info. I don’t think he’ll let us know when [Balatro 1.1] is gonna drop. He’s just gonna show up one day and say, here’s 100 new jokers.”
