The Witcher's Gwent Spinoff Has A Beefy Single-Player Mode

 

 

Quote

It’s going to have a full-fledged single-player mode. There will be several campaigns—each 10+ hours, the developers say—with top-down maps and even optional areas to explore. Your main character, who will vary depending on the story, will make decisions ranging from menial to significant, in true Witcher style.

CD Projekt Red showed off an early section of this new campaign. The premise: Geralt is working as an escort for a group of mercenaries, and they find that one of their men has been slaughtered, apparently by a demon. After some dialogue, they go off into the world, which is a simple cel-shaded map with a top-down 2D perspective. In the demo, Geralt and crew decided to ignore the main path and instead explore a nearby ruin, where they’re rewarded with a card that they can use in future battles.

 

Combat encounters, as you might expect, play out via Gwent matches. Different enemies will have different gimmicks based on their characters, their abilities, or even the weather

 

Also working on the single-player campaign is narrative designer Karolina Stachyra, best known for writing The Witcher 3's infamous Bloody Baron quest.

 

Geralt won’t always be the main character, although he’ll make appearances, as will many of The Witcher’s other heroes and villains. In our interview, Tomaszkiewicz said he wants to offer players a top-down, strategic view of the universe. In Gwent, you’re more leader than mercenary. “It’s an extension of The Witcher’s universe,” he said.

^ I am going to assume that MAGIC: The Gathering spin-offs were a fluke and half a dozen or so other card games.

 

They might bring it to mobile devices at a later date.
