Balatro Switch physical release revealed, pre-orders open
Posted on 9 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Balatro is getting a brand new physical release as part of a “Special Edition”, and pre-orders are starting to go live.
The rollout of the announcement took place in a bit of an odd fashion. PlayStack technically shared the news during a Giant Bomb at Nite show a couple of weeks back. The publisher itself still never put out an official announcement, but now that the news is out there, perhaps that isn’t important.
