It's a big day for Balatro, as developer LocalThunk has announced two big new crossovers and shadow-dropped the poker roguelike sensation on Xbox Game Pass.
LocalThunk has revealed Balatro's fourth Jimbo Pack, which is available now for free and includes crossover content themed around Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Dead by Daylight, Civilization 7, Critical Role, Bugsnax, Slay the Princess, and Rust.
These are the latest in a long run of Balatro crossovers, with some of the more prominent ones including The Witcher, Cyberpunk, Among Us, Stardew Valley, and Divinity.
Balatro Jimbo Pack 4 includes cards themed around fan-favorite characters including Assassin's Creed hero Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Fallout mascot Vault Boy, and, ahem, Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III from Critical Role. Notably, the crossover will also include characters from the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, including the stealthier of the game's two protagonists, Fujibayashi Naoe. It's unclear from the trailer if Yasuke, the other playable character, is included in the DLC.
Going off the below trailer, at least two of the original trio of killers that released with Dead by Daylight back in 2016 will also get their own Balatro cards, which I'm sure they've been waiting all this time for. I also spotted the princess from Slay the Princess, Elizabert Megafig from Bugsnax, Hatshepsut and Charlemagne from Civ 7, and a generic survivor from Rust.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
