Single Player ‘Gwent’ Spin-Off Now Standalone Title

by Dylan Blight

Although the single-player campaign for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game was originally thought to be coming as an add-on to the already available multiplayer component (in beta since 2017), developer CD Projekt Red has announced this is not the case.

The single-player portion will now be its own game called Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, which will apparently be a 30-hour RPG — quite a long campaign for a card game if true.

Fans of The Witcher 3 have been clamouring for the single-player aspect of the Gwent card game first introduced within The Witcher 3. Although Gwent has become a high-paying esport and competition game, it has had its own issues with players — let alone leaving those clamouring for a solo experience.

This news came from CD Projekt Red’s financial briefing, which you can watch below:

Thronebreaker will presumably release sometime mid-2019, but no details have been confirmed.
