Hell's card table beckons with Black Jacket, a blackjack-twisted roguelite deckbuilder launching May 12 on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. Developed by Mi’pu’mi Games and published by Skystone Games, it casts you as a soul gambling against the damned to scrape together coins for the ferryman’s bribe—Charon with a gambler’s itch, apparently.

You'll stack decks with rule-bending cards that force overcommits, swap values, or reveal hidden combos, all while piecing together opponents' playstyles and backstories glimpsed only through their hands. Artifacts, suits, and curses layer on the edge, promising runs where strategy eclipses luck, and deepening ties with these restless shades hints at breaking hell's eternal cycle. It's narrative roguelite territory, where every bust unfolds a fragment of infernal lore.

A demo lurks on Steam for PC players to test the waters—or flames—while roguelite communities on Reddit have playtested earlier builds, praising its fidelity to blackjack roots amid the deckbuilding frenzy. Console ports arrive simultaneously, no staggered suffering here.

In a genre crowded with Hades echoes, Black Jacket wagers on poker-faced phantoms to deal a fresh hand. The souls' tales might just trump the procedural grind.
