Balatro adds 8 franchises and more madcap mayhem with Friends of Jimbo 3 update

Author : Logan Jan 09,2025

The chaotic deck-building roguelike, Balatro, gets even wilder with the release of Friends of Jimbo 3, a free update boasting eight new franchises and a fresh batch of card art. This is the third and largest collaboration yet, expanding the already impressive roster to a total of 16 franchises.

The update, perfectly timed for The Game Awards (where Balatro received five nominations, including Game of the Year!), introduces beloved characters from Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don’t Starve, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, 1000x Resist, Potion Craft, Shovel Knight, and Warframe. With so many new additions, deck customization reaches a whole new level.
