E3 2016: CD Projekt Red Announces ‘Gwent: The Witcher Card Game’! Beta Signups Open Now

After a logo/trademarking move, it looks like we have full confirmation. Gwent, the fictional card game from The Witcher series is getting its own release. Check out the announcement trailer below.

When the leak first came out, and what the trailer kind of implies at the start, the consensus was that this was going to be an analogue release. So when the announcement came out today that it was going to be an Xbox One / PC title, excitement soared.

Gwent will be a free to play game (with inevitable microtransactions and expansions). It looks like CD Projekt Red wants to go after that Hearthstone money.

Check out the press release, and instructions how to sign up for the beta, below!

In GWENT, you’ll clash with your friends in fast-paced duels that combine bluffing, on-the-fly decision making and careful deck construction. The game is played over a best-of-three series of rounds, as players unleash their hand by slinging spells and diverse units with special abilities and use clever tricks to deceive their opponents.

Sign up for the Closed Beta here today!

GWENT will be available at release for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4, GWENT is a free to play game that puts you, not your cards, in the center of the action.
