The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Powers Up With Gwent

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is going to be one of the smash hits for 2015 and Xbox One owners can upgrade to the collectors edition that comes with a wealth of content. But now that edition has powered up and CD Projekt Red are pleased to be able to offer players two Gwent Card Decks.

What is Gwent you might be asking? Here is the official rundown from CD Projekt Red
Gwent is a fast-paced card game that can be played within The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on every platform. Invented by dwarves and perfected over centuries of tavern table play, Gwent is a game of initial simplicity and ultimate depth, something beloved by both road-weary travelers during long nights around the campfire and elegant nobles looking to liven up dragging dinner parties. The game is about the clash of two armies locked in mortal struggle on a battlefield where the players are the leaders and the cards their forces. With four different factions offering unique combat styles and endless paths to victory, Gwent is every adventurer’s first choice when it comes to one-on-one card-based dueling. Take risks and think on your feet, strategize and deliver cunning combos, use potent magic and mighty hero cards and be the last one standing on the field of honor!

“Gwent is an amazing game and we're really happy to be able to bring it to the physical realm with Microsoft's help. Now we’ve got Gwent in every copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as an in-game experience for free on every platform, and a physical version in the Xbox One CE, how awesome is that?” said Marcin Iwiñski, CD PROJEKT RED Co-founder and Joint CEO.  

So head to your local games store to see about adding this amazing collectors edition to your own collection.
