We've got good news and bad news for all The Witcher fans out there. The bad news is that CD Projekt RED isn't working on a fourth mainline installment in The Witcher series just yet. But, if it's any consolation, the Polish studio has confirmed that it's working on a single-player version of the card game, Gwent.
Many consider 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as one of the best open-world RPGs of its generation. The game's massive environment was only equaled by the amount of stuff that you could do, which includes Gwent. The card game was part of a series of side-quests in Wild Hunt that eventually spawned a standalone title, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game in 2018. However, the free-to-play digital collectible card game focused more on the multiplayer aspect of the game, much to the disappointment of fans who preferred a solo experience.
Fast forward to today and IGN's recent reveal confirms that CDPR wants to fix that glaring "issue".
Projekt Golden Nekker is a new Gwent game scheduled to launch this year with CDPR's in-house Gwent team at the helm. The game is described as a "captivating single-player experience." CDPR's Gwent Comms Lead, Pawel Burza, explained that the upcoming Gwent game is "not another Witcher Tales [game] but something different." He adds that the team is working hard to turn it into something special for players who aren't huge fans of the competitive side of Gwent.
