vampire survivors I just released a free update. which includes an expansion based on the indie sensation Balatro. The expansion is called Camera before and includes a new setting, new characters, and new power-ups that make the top-down rogue shooter feel more like, well, Balatro.
First, the Ante Chamber’s titular stage is filled with playing cards, reminiscent of the source material. New characters include the iconic wild card Jimbo and there are new power-ups and weapons drawn from Balatro. These include wild cards that increase points from combinations, just like the card game, and riffs on pre-existing combinations. Balatro mechanics like those planet cards. It seems fun.
He Camera before The update is free and available to download now via Steam, Android, iOS, PS4, and PS5. It will arrive on Switch and Epic Games Store on October 31.
Although the trailer suggested that the update also went on sale on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on Tuesday, that was not the case. “Unfortunately, yesterday we were unable to deliver update 1.14 on time for Xbox platforms,” Poncle said in a statement On Wednesday. “We are very sorry to our Xbox players who were eager to play the update. We have submitted new versions to be certified and the new plan is to release Xbox updates as soon as they are ready. Thank you for your patience. Our goal is to send you the update as soon as possible.” This is somewhat ironic, given the Balatro The collaboration was revealed during a Xbox Standalone Showcase.
This free update is more than just a Balatro-adjacent expansion. It also features online co-op (but unfortunately not yet on mobile), plus new stages, characters, weapons, and more.
