Mi’pu’mi Games and Skystone Games have revealed Black Jacket, a roguelite deckbuilder that takes the familiar mechanics of Blackjack and twists them into something far more sinister. Instead of playing for chips in a casino, you’ll be playing for your soul in the afterlife, where every hand could bring you one step closer to freedom—or eternal damnation.
In Black Jacket, you’re trapped in a fiery underworld filled with restless souls. The only way out? Outplay them at the table, win their coins, and pay off the ferryman to earn your escape. But this isn’t just Blackjack with spooky wallpaper. The game lets you stack your deck, bend rules mid-match, and unleash wild combos that go way beyond 21.
What Makes Black Jacket Different?
-
Blackjack, but twisted – Challenge lost souls, gamble your winnings, and bribe the ferryman. Customize your deck with cards, artifacts, and curses that change how the game plays.
-
Rule-breaking cards – Flip the odds by forcing opponents to misplay, swapping hands, or even manipulating card values.
-
Reading the table – Every enemy is defined by their playstyle. By studying their tendencies, you’ll learn not only how to beat them, but also uncover their backstories—and your own.
The result is a roguelite where Blackjack becomes a weapon, a puzzle, and a narrative hook all at once. Each run offers new synergies, hidden combinations, and unpredictable encounters as you gamble your way through the afterlife.
Black Jacket is set to launch in 2026, with more details on its hellish tables coming soon.
