Do you need yet another reason to go back to the incredibly moreish poker roguelike Balatro? Yes? well how about eight more Friends of Jimbo!
Friends of Jimbo 3 is out now for free, and it adds eight new cosmetic flairs that you can apply to your cards. And at last, Shovel Knight has managed to dig his way into the game — it was only a matter of time, right? He's the king of indie crossovers.
Alongside Yacht Club Games' superstar, you'll get card designs inspired by Divinity: Original Sin 2, Enter the Gungeon, Potion Craft, Don't Starve, Warframe, 1000xRESIST, and Cult of the Lamb.
Oh, and if you recognise the face in the trailer, yes, it's 100% Ben Starr, who just seems to keep popping up everywhere after his knockout performance in Final Fantasy XVI last year.
Soooo... we guess we know what we'll be doing tonight. Again. Balatro will never let us go, will it? Perhaps it's time to swap out our Stardew Valley cards...
Balatro is one of the big nominees at tonight's Game Awards, where it's up for five awards, including Game of the Year. We're rooting for you, Jimbo. And friends too, we suppose.
Let us know if Balatro still has you ensnared in the comments.

some of these look pretty cool but you will never take my stardew valley cards away from me no matter how hard you try
I need to pick this up one day, maybe when I've mentally prepared myself to not get addicted to it
Very good on this developer just cranking out free cosmetics like this. Its also really good natured advertising for some other wonderful indie games. Its wholesome stuff!
Bought it, tried it a number of times but could never get into it. Just not my thing unfortunately.
1000xRESIST is phenomenal though so hopefully this drives more attention to it!
New aesthetics are cool but I'd like something new gameplay wise too. A new mode or something. I mean, I don't know what exactly they could toss in (aside from maybe a multiplayer), but I'm sure the developers could think of something.
I want Witcher and Shovel Knight themed cards, but each set is locked to a specific suit, and these are both spades.
I get that each of these is created to match a specific suit's color, and that spades/clubs and hearts/diamonds are different shades (clubs=gray and diamonds=orange). A little flexibility would be appreciated. There could be two color variants for each deck skin, for example.
There could also be four, but two would be relatively simple to implement.
Love Balatro! This game is the most addictive thing I've ever played!
Loving the crossovers. Warframe doesn't ever really do any crossovers (aside from one niche smash bros spirit thing), so this is very unexpected, but welcome.
Very nice. I think games need more fun cross-promotion like this.
Finally! Shovel Knight on spades!
No way I just started warframe about a week ago lol what are the chances.
WARFRAME X BALATRO?!
ok considering i’ve been play WF for a year and love it sm i might have to check out Balatro
1000x Resist cards! Pair to Pair. Hekki Almo.
@Yosher https://x.com/balatrogame/status/1821184855876804841?s=46 First content update was announced a while ago, but not until 2025.
@Kilroy Right, I remember it now that you mentioned it, I just somehow completely forgot about it lol. Thanks for the reminder!
Shovel Knight is a great choice! Now give me Axiom Verge and Hollow Knight.
More to celebrate about Balatro on a night we're already celebrating Balatro. Easily the best game I've played in years.
