"Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port."
"He says he's "well and truly burned out." LocalThunk apologizes for the delay and says "it has become clear now that it won't happen by the end of the year." It's actually nice to let us know now instead of forcing us to wonder where the update is for the next several months. "I still consider this my hobby," he wrote. "The prospect of rushing the work and going back into crunch mode to get it out this year just felt terrible.""
Balatro 1.1 will not release in 2025; the developer announced a delay and said the update will ship "when it's done." Balatro and its update were created by a single person who also produced the original balance patch and the mobile port. The developer apologized and described being "well and truly burned out," stating the update "won't happen by the end of the year." He emphasized that the project remains a hobby and declined to rush into crunch to meet the prior timeline. The update will be free on all platforms and additional DLC may follow.
