Place big bets in the fantasy poker auto-battler on Steam today
SEATTLE – Nov. 18, 2025 – Poker Warlords, the fantasy poker auto-battler from developer SkeleJelly Games, summons a new demo on PC today, officially launching at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET/9 p.m. GMT. Created as a spiritual successor to SkeleJelly’s top 10 Starcraft 2 Arcade custom game BattlePoker,played by 2,000+ monthly active users to this day, Poker Warlords will launch in 2026.
Feeling lucky? Bet big on the table in two to six-player multiplayer matches, then watch as decisions unfold and units roar into life, determining who wins the pot. Poker Warlords combines the strategic choices and mind games of poker with the satisfying sequences of classic autobattler combat.
Raise, Call, or Fold on three-card hands of medieval fantasy armies, then choose two to fight for you in the arena. Wager random numbers of Dragon and Dark Knights against Trebuchets and Assassins. Weigh the odds based on the type and number of units in hand against each opponent’s visible card. Go all in or bluff to psych out the competition, or dominate with pure force to claim victory.
Complete challenging missions in the Campaign, climb the ranks in Standard, or compete for glory in demanding tournaments in Brawl mode. Unlock 24 different cosmetic avatars to join the table as a calculating Jester, brave Knight, or intimidating Archmage.
“Following the love and success that BattlePoker garnered, I wanted to create a standalone experience without the limitations of Starcraft 2 Arcade,” Nick Roessler, Lead Developer, SkeleJelly Games. “The idea for Poker Warlords originated in high school, and I’ve continuously improved on the concept to create what we have today.”
Poker Warlords’ new demo is available now on PC via Steam. For more information, follow the team on X and YouTube, join the community on Discord and Reddit, and search #PokerWarlords on social media.
