I’ve got the goodest news for you today, fellow Balatro fans: the poker-themed deckbuilder is getting new content in the form of a “major gameplay update”.
Having told you that, I think I need to temper your excitement somewhat as we’re going to have to wait a little while before we get our hands on the new stuff, as it’s not due out until next year. On the bright side, the expansion is going to be free, which is always appreciated!
On top of that, “there are a few more announcements in the works that will be revealed over the next couple of months.” I’ve got my fingers crossed for a physical deck or even a board game! Here’s the official word, as per Discord:

This update will bring new ideas and strategies to the game and as a token of huge appreciation to the game’s brilliant and passionate community, the update will be completely free.
But wait, Dear Reader, there’s more! A nice footnote is the news that Balatro has shifted a huge number of copies since it landed back in February, with the number now standing at a cool two million!
