FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 13, 2026 – Steam (PC & Mac)
Independent developer Elias Austin today launched “The Revelation Update” for Bingo Betty, the strategic bingo roguelite that’s already been called “the new Balatro-like” by PC Gamer. The massive overhaul dramatically expands both single-player and adds an all new multiplayer side to the game, delivering the first game ever to combine a deep single-player roguelite with a full-featured competitive multiplayer TCG built entirely around bingo mechanics.
Demons and Angels Invade the Bingo Hall
Single-player fans can now face literal forces of Heaven and Hell. Push into higher Fever levels or late-stage runs and you’ll trigger Demon encounters – high-stakes bingo combat where your draws become hit points and every line is a desperate fight for survival. In Fever 6+ and beyond, Angels descend for divine trials. The board itself has been corrupted by the Seven Deadly Sins (Greed steals money, Wrath punishes extra draws, Sloth disables blotters, and more), countered by powerful Virtues that charge up and unleash character-specific miracles. New characters James Porter and Lucky Lou join the roster, alongside refreshed music, special ball/blotter animations, and a complete balance pass.
Bingo Brawl: The World’s First Competitive Turn-Based Bingo-TCG
For players craving head-to-head strategy, Bingo Betty now offers Bingo Brawl – a robust, standalone multiplayer TCG mode featuring:
1v1 ranked/casual matches and massive 64-player tournaments (with item-stealing chaos).
Full custom loadouts: build decks of 50-70 balls, 1-5 cards, 7 items, and a Virtue (MP-exclusive abilities).
Energy-type line scoring (Attack, Defend, Remove, Charge) with distinct archetypes – Aggro, Mill, Control, Combo.
Deep progression: XP to level 100, 10 Reincarnation tiers, cosmetics, custom profiles, and more.
Cross-platform online play, custom lobbies with bots/friends, and pulse-pumping music.
The free demo has been updated to Demo 4.0, letting anyone jump in and experience a full slice of Bingo Brawl (5 default loadouts) plus the new single-player threats – no progression or unlocks are required in the demo, but it’s enough to make players beg for the full version.
“I built Bingo Betty as the ultimate American bingo experience. It’s chaotic and heavily RNG based, but it felt a little lacking in the moment-to-moment excitement,” said sole developer Elias Austin. “The Revelation Update takes that to the next level. Single-player now pits you against actual Demons and Angels, among other trials to keep your wits about you. But I didn’t stop there, because I wanted to incorporate a mode where RNG was less of the deciding factor, and have the game take a more methodical turn. I have been a long-time fan of paper TCG’s like Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh for decades, so I've decided to give it a shot myself! Bingo Brawl should deliver the competitive depth TCG fans crave.Seing as noo one has ever combined a single-player roguelite this rich with a full multiplayer bingo TCG before, I’d say The underground hall just got a whole lot hotter.”
Bingo Betty remains on track for a full 2026 release. Release details and dates coming soon!
