Friends of Jimbo 3 Update: Balatro Expands Franchise Network

Balatro's "Friends of Jimbo 3" Update: 8 More Franchises Join the Mayhem!

The popular deckbuilding roguelike, Balatro, is expanding its already chaotic roster with a massive free update, "Friends of Jimbo 3." This update introduces eight new franchises, adding even more unpredictable elements to the gameplay through fresh card art. With Jimbo's inherent craziness, the addition of these franchises promises a significant increase in the game's signature madcap mayhem.

This collaboration marks the third and largest crossover yet for Balatro, featuring familiar faces (or cards!) from beloved games including: Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don't Starve, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, 1000x Resist, Potion Craft, Shovel Knight, and Warframe. The update brings the total number of franchises represented in Balatro to an impressive sixteen. This expansion significantly boosts the deck customization options, promising even more fun and strategic depth.

The timing of this update is no coincidence; it coincides with The Game Awards, where Balatro is nominated for an astounding five awards, including the coveted Game of the Year.
