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

• Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don’t Starve, Enter the Gungeon and more
• A total of 16 franchises and counting
• Time to get customising 

Deckbuilding roguelike hit Balatro is doubling down on its organised chaos with Friends of Jimbo 3, a free update that adds even more surprise guests in the form of new card art. Jimbo is already pretty unhinged as it is, so adding eight more franchises into the mix is only going to multiply the madcap mayhem here.

In the latest update to Balatro, you can look forward to seeing some familiar (card) faces as the third and biggest collab yet arrives. Playstack and LocalThunk certainly seem to know exactly what they’re doing given that they launched this new update in time for The Game Awards, where Balatro proudly boasts a whopping five nominations. That also includes Game of the Year, by the way.

In any case, the new additions include Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don’t Starve, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, 1000x Resist, Potion Craft, Shovel Knight, and Warframe. This totals 16 franchises now, so customising your deck has never been more fun.

Now, if you’re curious about this card-based phenomenon and would love to know how it all plays out, why not take a look at our Balatro review to get an idea?

In the meantime, if you’re keen on joining in on all the madness, you can do so by checking out Balatro on Google Play and on the App Store. It’s a premium purchase at $9.99 a pop or your local equivalent – or, if you happen to be a subscriber of Apple Arcade, you can give it a go over there too.
