The Witcher 3 is set for a thrilling crossover with Balatro, one of 2024's standout indie titles. Since its release in May 2015, The Witcher 3 has maintained its popularity through various crossovers with games like Fortnite, Destiny 2, and Cyberpunk 2077. Known as one of the most decorated video games in history, The Witcher 3 sits alongside legends like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Last of Us Part 2.
Crossovers have become a key strategy for keeping older games in the spotlight. Titles like Fortnite, Dead by Daylight, and Minecraft have successfully revived older franchises through DLCs and free updates. The Witcher's protagonist, Geralt, made an appearance in Fortnite as a playable skin, alongside characters like Ciri and Yennefer, in 2023. However, not all crossovers are successful, as evidenced by the recent Fallout and Fortnite collaboration, which left fans underwhelmed.
The latest crossover was announced during the August 27 Nintendo Indie World Showcase, where a new trailer unveiled The Witcher 3's collaboration with Balatro. This popular deckbuilding poker game, which combines traditional card gameplay with roguelike elements, has sold over two million copies and is one of the highest-rated games of 2024. In addition to The Witcher 3, the trailer revealed other exciting crossovers with titles like Vampire Survivors, Dave the Diver, and Among Us. These crossovers will be part of the “Friends of Jimbo” update, which will be free for all current owners of Balatro.
Games Featured in the Free “Friends of Jimbo” Update for Balatro
- The Witcher 3
- Vampire Survivors
- Dave the Diver
- Among Us
Dave the Diver, a successful indie game developed by MINTROCKET, also announced its crossover with Balatro at this year's Gamescom. Launched to critical acclaim in 2023, Dave the Diver will introduce unique mechanics to Balatro, such as special cards that interact with other cards in innovative ways. The Vampire Survivors crossover will feature cards themed around Dracula and popular characters from the game.
Balatro fans have already been showing off their creativity, adding unique elements to the game since its release. Earlier this year, a fan managed to get the original Doom running inside Balatro, sharing their impressive results on Reddit. This was possible due to the small size of Doom compared to Balatro, allowing the classic FPS to run behind the game's cards. Other fans humorously suggested trying to get Crysis working in the game as well.
