Mere days after telling gamers 1.1 was “getting nearer,” LocalThunk returned to the Balatro Discord and began naming issues.
The depend of latest Jokers is the largest of them. Having beforehand dedicated to at the least two, the developer posted what he referred to as a “large leak”: there can be at the least 4 (see beneath). He additionally confirmed a brand new set off situation, “when a card is drawn at hand,” which fires throughout rounds and inside Tarot and Spectral packs. His instance was a Joker referred to as ‘Ace up your Sleeve’, which provides you +1 Mult when an Ace is drawn.
Vouchers are altering as effectively. A tier 2 voucher named Lunker is in, and the draw can be extra in direction of tier 2, weighted by what number of tier 1 vouchers you maintain throughout incomplete units. The Blue Stake rework has itself been reworked; he scrapped his earlier model just a few months in the past for one he says suits higher.
Blue Stake and Joker reworks will apply to everybody, however the precise new materials can be behind a profile checkbox. Achievements can be earnable with it switched off. Steam may also hold a selectable 1.0 department after the replace ships so legacy mods hold working.
Past that, there’s not a lot. LocalThunk expects 1.1.0 adopted by a 1.1.1 steadiness cross a month or two later, and stated to not anticipate greater than that: no 1.2, and nonetheless no official multiplayer. He additionally stated he ought to by no means have given a date when he was the one particular person engaged on the sport and nobody had requested him to announce one. The excellent news is that he’ll hold dropping leaks, he added, however not a launch window for a Balatro replace.
