The Witcher 4: New chapter that could revive Gwent's magic

CD Projekt Red's The Witcher franchise is one of the most celebrated names in modern gaming. With the announcement of The Witcher 4, fans are excited to see Ciri take centre stage in an all-new adventure.

However, the release date is still unknown, while this highly anticipated game could bring renewed attention to another fan favourite, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.

Gwent: The Witcher Card Game

Gwent, a spin-off of the card game featured in The Witcher 3, gained immense popularity when it launched as a standalone game in 2018. However, its last major update came in October 2023, and the game has seen fewer players since.

Moreover, fans believe that with new content inspired by The Witcher 4, Gwent could see a strong revival. 

Adding cards based on the new characters, settings, and plots from the upcoming title could make the card game exciting for old and new players alike.

Reportedly, The Witcher 4 will introduce a darker world with a mature Ciri as the lead. It seems a lot of time has passed since The Witcher 3, paving the way for fresh characters and stories. This gives CD Projekt Red the perfect opportunity to integrate Gwent into the new era of the franchise, bringing updated themes and mechanics that align with The Witcher 4's narrative.

Notably, with Ciri stepping into the spotlight, and fans are eager for more Witcher content, the release of The Witcher 4 aims to breathe new life into Gwent.
