After distracting Geralt on his adventures in The Witcher 3, the in-game card game Gwent is nearly able to make its correct debut in standalone games. Developers CD Projekt Red at this time introduced that each the multiplayer Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and its singleplayer story spin-off Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales will launch on October 23rd. Gwent has been in public beta for months however this might be its full free-to-play launch, whereas Thronebreaker was as a result of be a part of Gwent however has since become standalone. Hey, if I can get extra story from the Witcher gang with none F2P guff in the way in which, that’s good for me.
Right so, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is the multiplayer-focused one with card packs and microtransactions and whatnot. It’s a bizarre one, contemplating Gwent isn’t that fascinating a card game – nice sufficient as a distraction as a interest on the facet when stabbing monsters, however so-so in itself. I’ve not checked out it shortly, thoughts, and CD Projekt appear to have been busy with enhancements in its huge ‘Homecoming’ overhaul. Here’s a brand new dev diary vid displaying off some progress:
Have you been Gwenting, gang? How is it now? I do know Cobbo did like it again within the day and Rich McCormick took a look more recently.
Thronebreaker is the one I’m occupied with. It’s a singleplayer RPG starring Meve, a warrior queen of two Northern Realms, with Gwent games for battles. “Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion,” CDPR say, “Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath, and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge.” The author behind The Witcher 3’s Bloody Baron questline (which moved our Alec so) is on this and all.
As for a way a lot Thronebreaker will value, CDPR say they’ll announce pricing particulars “in the future” – the longer term being a while within the subsequent 5 weeks, obvs.
Both games are/might be on GOG.
