The year 2024 delivered a series of surprising gaming successes, with standout titles like Palworld, Helldivers 2, and the unstoppable Balatro taking center stage. Among these hits, Liar’s Bar emerged as a sensation, gaining massive popularity on YouTube and Twitch, and reaching an impressive peak of over 113,000 players on Steam. This blend of classic multiplayer games—like Liar’s Dice and Cheat—amped up with a thrilling twist of virtual Russian roulette, has garnered a remarkable 92% positive user review score. As the developer Curve Animation gears up for the full launch, they’re teasing the arrival of a brand-new mode, promising it’s on the horizon.
For those who haven’t yet dived into Liar’s Bar, you’re in for a treat. The game features a vibrant group of animated animal characters, each bringing their own unique flair to the game’s atmosphere, enhancing the suspense that’s intrinsic to these deception-based multiplayer experiences. As someone who still misses Liar’s Dice in Red Dead Redemption 2, finding an alternative to jump into online matches with friends is a joy—and the game’s wallet-friendly price tag certainly helps make that decision easier.
In a recent update on Steam, Curve Animation hinted, “We’re shuffling your poker deck. The highly anticipated Liar’s Poker is coming soon to your table.” While Liar’s Dice and Cheat (known here as Liar’s Deck) are already loads of fun, introducing poker’s more complex bluffing dynamics could add a fascinating new twist. Although it doesn’t reinvent poker entirely, the soaring success of Balatro suggests that many players will already have a good grasp of the hands they’ll encounter.
Initially teased to be part of the full game release, Liar’s Poker was expected to launch alongside another mode called Liar’s Roulette. However, it seems fans can look forward to trying it sooner than anticipated. While we don’t have an official release date just yet, it seems the wait won’t be much longer. Additionally, the game has recently added a leaderboard system into the mix, following the inclusion of chaos mode, giving competitive players even more to look forward to.
As we anticipate 2025’s next surprise smash hit in the indie PC gaming scene, Liar’s Bar reminds us of the joy in a bit of friendly deceit. But if you’re in the mood for cooperation instead, there are plenty of top-notch co-op games to enjoy with your friends.
