Dec 06, 2024 11:00 AM

Gwent, the popular card game from The Witcher franchise, is transitioning from a digital format to a physical card game. This long-awaited adaptation is being developed by CD Projekt Red in collaboration with Hachette Boardgames and No Loading Games. The game will feature 400 cards and a playmat designed to replicate the original experience found in The Witcher 3. Targeted at both Gwent fans and card game enthusiasts, the board game aims to entice players who prefer tabletop gaming. Scheduled for release in Q3 2025 at a price point of £44, this version includes various gameplay styles, accommodating both casual play and competitive tournaments.

When and where can I buy the physical Gwent card game?

The physical Gwent card game will be released in Q3 2025, and it will be available for purchase at a price of £44. Check with local retailers or online stores closer to the release date for availability.

Gwent started as a minigame in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, becoming a fan favorite due to its strategic depth and engaging gameplay. Its success led to the development of the standalone digital version, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, which introduced new mechanics while retaining the charm of its predecessor. As this unique strategy game makes its way to tabletops, it opens a new chapter for both fans of the series and newcomers eager to experience the world of Gwent in a tangible format.
