CD Projekt RED on rewarding fans,why Gwent will never get a standalone game & future DLC

PressA2Join recently had the chance to chat with Karolina Stachyra, writer and Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Lead Quest Designer at CD Projekt RED to find out more about future DLC, why Gwent will never be a standalone game and rewarding fans.

They have the chance to reach Hearthstone levels of success, were they to release a more fleshed out version of Gwent.

Just something to think about.

I agree, I spent a huge chunk of my Witcher 3 time collecting cards and playing. I'd definitely buy a standalone game of Gwent.

Rewarding fans? Having the hearts of stone limited edition with physical Gwent cards not available on xbox really annoyed me.

[JamesBroski]

Couldn't find that limited edition anywhere...

[Immorals]

Could find the limited edition, but it was PS4/PC only. Never a statement explaining it.

@Immorals

Where??

What are you talking about? It's been for sale on Gamestop's site for a couple of weeks now.

The really perplexing part about it is that I never saw it once listed for PC despite what others have said. Only PS4 and Xbone. Even still, the physical Gwent bundle is a standalone package. Meaning it isn't an all-inclusive bundle packaged with one version of the game or the other. You'll simply purchase the bundle and get emailed a digital code to download the HoS expansion. So therein lies the question of why was there not a PC listing?? As far as I saw, Gamestop only ever listed the PS4 and Xbone versions when it would have been just as easy to have listed a PC version, as well. And yet no one seems to know what happened - not even the guys from CD Projekt. The whole physical launch was a missed opportunity due to a complete lack of communication on CDPR's part.

[Immorals]

Maybe in the US, but it was a game exclusive here and the staff all looked very confused when tyhe didn't stock it!

[maelstromb]

Ohhh, I see! Definitely an oddly disjointed release on CDPR's part... not sure what happened there.

[Toonge]

Just think of a multiplayer version of gwent

[GamePeace]

Hasn't got the potential to be a standalone game...

[InTheZoneAC]

Gwent is great where it's at. Not sure a standalone would have a lasting factor.

[Antifan]

Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed Gwent, but she thinks she's better than me. Please RED, give us a standalone so I can teach her a lesson.

Card game in a Long ass game...
A game that was already long enough, yet lets waste more time on playing a stupid card game,i finished the Witcher 3 and probably played one single card game.

I love my board- and cardgames too, I've got way too many of them to say otherwise, but when I'm playing a videogame I don't want to play a cardgame, if I want to do that I invite some friends or play a dedicated electronic version of a physical cardgame somewhere else.

I do love the idea of a physical version of Gwent tho, I might actually want to pick that up!
