The Witcher: Enhanced Edition News

Gwent: Rogue Mage - the single player Witcher card game - is out today

Gwent: Rogue Mage - a new single player roguelike card game - is out today on Steam, iOS, and Android. Based on The Witcher IP and a spinoff of the multiplayer Witcher card game, Gwent, from back in 2017, this takes you through events hundreds of years prior to Geralt’s adventures through the world in a newfound standalone journey.

This new story, which follows mage Alzur and their companion Lily as they seek out a powerful weapon to end the monster threat once and for all, is purchasable for £7.49. While standalone, it is technically an expansion to Gwent, meaning you can also pick that up at additional cost for the full Gwent experience.

If this seems like news that appeared out of nowhere, it’s because it was revealed to the world only yesterday in an IGN exclusive. This was previously under wraps as Project Golden Nekker, but details regarding the title, or its sudden emergence onto PC and mobile platforms, hadn’t been made known until the very last moment.

How to watch the CD Projekt Red 20th anniversary stream today

Can you believe it’s already been twenty years since CD Projekt Red started making games? No? Well, let’s have a quick refresher of what else happened in 2002 for some perspective: Queen’s Golden Jubilee, check, last confirmed sighting of the Yangtze river dolphin, righto, SARS starts spreading… okay, let’s just stick to tipping our hats at one of Poland’s best known games developers for now. You can start doing that when the CDPR 20th anniversary livestream kicks off at 3pm BST/4pm CEST/7am PDT today.

20 years of CD PROJEKT RED!

Time flies... It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since CD PROJEKT RED was founded. The last two decades have been filled with adventure, and we’re so proud to have created video games that players all around the world have enjoyed — not to mention having such a strong, supportive community that has been with us at every step!

Although our studio was established in February 2002, we’ve chosen to celebrate the anniversary today, July 1st, because on this exact date 20 years ago CD PROJEKT (at that time known as CD Projekt) announced its shift in focus to game development. It’s a special date that marks the beginning of our studio as we know it today. It’s where our journey into making RPGs began, and we think that’s definitely worth putting in the spotlight!

But today is not the only day we’re going to celebrate this occasion. It’s 20 years, after all! We’ve got a bunch of activities planned for the coming months, and we invite you — our awesome community — to join in the fun! Here’s the plan:

For those hungry for knowledge, we’ve got CD PROJEKT RED trivia & facts coming at you every Friday!
On Wednesdays, we’ll be taking trips down memory lanes with special streams devoted to our games.
On Mondays & Thursdays, we’ve cooked up some special birthday Challenges for you — with prizes up for grabs, of course!
And that’s not all! We have more to come.. But why spoil the surprise now?

And every day you can also visit our dedicated anniversary website: 20yearsof.cdprojektred.com to celebrate the past twenty years by sharing your memories of our games with us! We have a Birthday Gallery where you can submit screenshots, photos, drawings or anything else you can come up with!

We can’t wait to see what you send us!

What would you like to see in The Witcher 4?

Last night, CD Projekt announced they were working on a brand-new Witcher game. Details are thin on the ground at the moment. All we have to go on is a cryptic piece of artwork showing what appears to be a lynx-like medallion peeking through some snow, and a declaration that it's going to represent a "new saga" of The Witcher series. Heck, we don't even know if it's technically going to be called The Witcher 4 yet (it probably isn't, in fairness), but for sake of ease that's how I'm going to refer to it for the time being.

Still, talk of a new saga has got me thinking. Does that mean we'll simply see a new protagonist in the existing Witcher timeline we know and love? (Ciri, perhaps, or young hot Vesemir?) Or will it go earlier, maybe tying into the upcoming Netflix prequel The Witcher: Blood Origin that's set 1200 years before the events of the books? Or something else entirely? We probably won't know the answers for some time, but until CD Projekt have more beans to spill, RPS asks: what would you like to see from a new game in The Witcher series?
