Balatro physical

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.

Upcoming Switch game The Rise of the Golden Idol just received its first proper trailer. The title was announced at The Game Awards at the end of last year, but only with a brief teaser. Today’s trailer gives us actual gameplay.

Here’s an overview of the game:

AK-xolotl Beach Episode update

A new content update for AK-xolotl, which is known as the “Beach Episode” has been released.

A bunch of content is included here – a new biome, more enemies, new axolittles, and a new challenging boss. That’s along with the latest round of fixes.

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

The Last Faith update 1.5.2

The patch includes a ton of improvements, adjustments, and fixes. Some of the highlights include frame rate enhancements, NPC markers on the map, a gameplay pause feature, rebalancing, and more.

We have the full rundown on today’s update below. 

The Last Faith physical
