Popular roguelike card game Balatro has launched its second big update of the year, Friends of Jimbo 2, adding even more custom card options. This free update, available on all platforms including mobile, introduces characters from Cyberpunk 2077, Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire and Binding of Isaac, bringing the total to eight custom map themes.
Balatro offers several crossovers
Here are the collaborations introduced in version 1.1.6 of Balatro:
Playing as Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077 is possible as a Spade card, just as you will find Silent from Slay the Spire in Clubs, the heroes of Isaac from Binding of Isaac in Hearts, and the famous characters from Stardew Valley in Diamonds.
As with previous collaborations with The Witcher, Dave the Diver, Among Us And Vampire Survivorsthese special cards add a unique cosmetic touch to Jacks, Queens and Kings without changing the gameplay. But as is often the case, the cosmetic part is very popular with players. Just look at the amounts spent by millions of players on Fortnite with each new costume offered…
Wout van Halderen, head of PR at Playstack, said:
After launching the first collaboration pack this summer, we knew we wanted to invite even more partners. Working with these talented developers has been a rewarding experience, and seeing their creations in Balatro is a real thrill for Playstack and LocalThunk.
An offbeat poker game
Launched on mobile at the end of September (with an Apple Arcade version), Balatro quickly became a sensation, reaching almost a million dollars in revenue in just one week. His secret? Balatro stands out for its cards with captivating graphics and catchy music, but above all accessible but strategically deep gameplay, inspired by poker. Its approach allows players to explore complex mechanics effortlessly, making the game both addictive and fun.
By the way, when will we see a port of Cyberpunk 2077 on mobile?
