Summary
Curve Animation has announced that its popular multiplayer titleLiar’s Baris set to receive a brand-new game mode in the form of Poker.Liar’s Bar’s version of Poker should bring more heart-racing moments to the $6.99 party game.
Liar’s Barwas released into Early Access in late 2024 and became an instant success.It was arguably one of thegames that surpassed expectations the most in 2024, especially considering how few gamers had ever heard of it prior to launch.Liar’s Baris a strange hybrid of the Liar’s Dice and Liar’s Deck games alongside Russian Roulette. It’s made a little wacky by the humanoid animal characters and cartoon art style, and is a perfect party game to play with friends. The game saw major popularity on Twitch at the time of its release, catapulting it to an all-time peak player count of 113,798 on Steam.
In a very cryptic post onSteam, Curve Animation confirmed that Poker is coming toLiar’s Bar, claiming, “The highly anticipated Liar’s Poker is coming soon to your table.” The post was void of any details about what the mode is going to entail, but the fact that Poker typically involves even more bluffing than the game modes already inLiar’s Barshould indicate it’s going to be a blast. It certainly cementsLiar’s Baras one of the topEarly Access gamesto keep an eye on this year.
Poker is Coming to Liar’s Bar Soon
It has never been a secret that Poker would come toLiar’s Barat some point. AlthoughLiar’s Barlaunched with Liar’s Diceand Liar’s Deck, the roadmap for the game has always had Liar’s Poker down as coming with the full release. However, Curve Animation has already confirmed thatLiar’s Barwill be in Early Access for at least six months, so if Liar’s Poker is in fact just around the corner, it’s likely a case of the new game mode arriving ahead of schedule. This is good, as it allows the developer to squash any bugs found by players before the full release.
Hopefully, the addition of Liar’s Poker will helpLiar’s Barclimb the Steam charts once again. The game’s current player count on Steam sits at a 24-hour peak of 6,298. While it’s a far cry from the heights of its launch, a fall-off was always expected, and it’s impressive that a game of this stature has managed to retain as many players as it has. With more updates like Poker and the recentLiar’s BarChaos Mode update, the game is set to be in a good state for its eventual full release, boding well for player numbers in the future.
