The year 2024 delivered its fair share of gaming surprises, featuring titles like Palworld, Helldivers 2, and the unstoppable Balatro. Among these standout games was Liar’s Bar, which climbed to fame thanks to its viral success on YouTube and Twitch, reaching a peak player count on Steam of over 113,000. Blending elements from classic games like Liar’s Dice and Cheat with the intense drama of virtual Russian roulette, it’s no wonder Liar’s Bar boasts a 92% approval rating from users. Developer Curve Animation is gearing up for its official launch, teasing an exciting new game mode that’s about to drop.
If you haven’t tried Liar’s Bar yet, you’re in for a treat. The game’s vibrant, anthropomorphic animal characters add charm and personality, enhancing the thrill and tension inherent in games of deception. Personally, as someone who missed Liar’s Dice in Red Dead Redemption 2, Liar’s Bar offers a refreshing way to connect with friends online. Plus, with its accessible price, convincing your pals to join in is a breeze.
In a recent update on the game’s Steam page, Curve Animation teased, “We’re shuffling your poker deck. The highly anticipated Liar’s Poker is coming soon to your table.” While Liar’s Dice and Cheat (or Liar’s Deck as it’s known in the game) are a blast, introducing poker’s more intricate bluffing could spice things up even more. Although it doesn’t fully replicate a poker game, those who enjoyed Balatro might find this variation intriguing since it builds on familiar hand rankings.
Originally, Liar’s Poker was slated for the full release once Liar’s Bar exited early access, along with a feature called Liar’s Roulette. However, it seems the card game is arriving sooner than predicted. While we don’t have an exact launch date, keep an eye on updates—it might be closer than you think. Additionally, the game recently introduced chaos mode and a new leaderboard system.
Looking ahead to 2025, be on the lookout for the next sleeper hit among indie PC games. And if you’re in the mood for a less competitive experience, consider diving into some of the best co-op games available.
