Witcher Prequel Game Gwent: Rogue Mage Announced, Releases Tomorrow
CD Projekt Red has just revealed that its previously announced Witcher spinoff game is a prequel named Gwent: Rogue Mage, and that it is releasing tomorrow. Fans were first introduced to the Gwent card game in 2017’s blockbuster hit The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, where it served as an amusing side activity for rugged protagonist Geralt of Rivia between monster-slaying sidequests in a similar vein to the original Witcher’s dice poker. The game-within-a-game tasks players with building a deck from five different card factions with unique skills to defeat their opponent's army and collect valuable Orins.
Gwent’s popularity wouldn’t go unnoticed by CD Projekt Red, as it later released an expanded, standalone version of The Witcher 3’s pastime in the form of GWENT: The Witcher Card Game — first as a console title in 2018 with a mobile port launching the following year. 2018 also saw the release of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, an RPG spin-off that served as a narrative-based single-player experience that supplemented CDPR’s Witcher universe by putting players in the role of Queen Meve. More Gwent action was announced by CDPR in late January in the form of a brand-new spin-off that was tentatively codenamed Project Golden Nekker, which the developer touted as a “captivating single-player experience" Not much else was revealed about this new Gwent-centric project, save that it would bear no connection to the aforementioned Thronebreaker and would likely only be released on PC.
