Balatro's Friends of Jimbo 3 update: 16 franchises and counting!

The hit deckbuilding roguelike, Balatro, is unleashing even more chaotic fun with its free Friends of Jimbo 3 update. This update introduces eight new franchises, adding to the already wild card art and gameplay. With a total of 16 franchises now represented, deck customization reaches a new level of delightful madness.

This massive collaboration, the third and largest yet, arrives just in time for The Game Awards, where Balatro boasts an impressive five nominations, including a coveted Game of the Year nod. Playstack and LocalThunk have clearly timed their release perfectly.

New additions include familiar faces from Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don’t Starve, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, 1000x Resist, Potion Craft, Shovel Knight, and Warframe.
