Dead By Daylight Is Getting A Balatro Crossover Featuring (A) Joker

In February 2025, Balatro introduced a handful of Dead by Daylight-themed cards for its Friends of Jimbo 4 update. Now, almost one year later, the madness of Balatro is invading Dead by Daylight for a second crossover collaboration.

Behaviour Interactive announced the upcoming Dead by Daylight x Balatro collab during a livestream about its current Stranger Things crossover. The new collaboration will give The Unknown--one of the first original killers in Dead by Daylight--a makeover inspired by Balatro's Madness Joker. The result is The Unknown Madness.

The Unknown Madness will be released for free via redeemable codes on February 20. It's just a new cosmetic as opposed to a new character, but it is unsettling to look at, especially if you've ever been afraid of clowns.
